What is an analogue geared computer?
The construction and operation of a geared analogue computer is presented. The Antikythera Mechanism is the first analogue geared computer in human history.
The pin-slot mechanism, part of the Antikythera Mechanism, which simulates the movement of the Moon
The pin-slot mechanism which simulates the Lunar movement in the Antikythera Mechanism.
The modus operandi and the astronomical calculations of the Antikythera Mechanism
Dr. Marianna Efstathiou, member of the academic team of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which investigates the Antikythera Mechanism, describes the modus operandi of the Mechanism.
The largest fragments of the Antikythera Mechanism (fragments A, B and C)
The three largest fragments of the Antikythera Mechanism as they have been recovered from the sea by sponge divers in the early 20th century.
The largest fragment is the fragment A. 27 gears were detected inside that fragment.
The largest fragment is the fragment A. 27 gears were detected inside that fragment.
Simulation of the Lunar elliptical orbit by the Antikythera Mechanism
The text describes how the Antikythera Mechanism simulates the movements of the system Moon-Earth-Sun (i.e. the elliptical orbit of the Moon around the Earth)
Physical replica of the Antikythera Mechanism (scale 1:1)
Exact replica of the Antikythera Mechanism. Its dimensions correspond to those of the original Antikythera Mechanism and it is constructed of the same material, i.e. bronze for the gears and shafts and wood for the construction of the box.
