The Antikythera Mechanism
One of the artefacts ranked among the Wonders of the Ancient World is the Antikythera Mechanism, the oldest extant complex geared device, also described as the first analogue computer. Its construction was variously estimated to be about 87 BC; or…
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, accurate and operational model of the Antikythera Mechanism (scale 1:1)
Three facets of the Antikythera Mechanism's physical model in the box and a view of the model without the box.
Physical model of the Antikythera Mechanism (scale 1:1)
The specific model constitutes an exact replica in physical dimensions (scale 1:1) of the Antikythera Mechanism.
Photorealistic depictions of thegeared system of the Antikythera Mechanism
The photorealistic images show views of the Antikythera Mechanism's gear system.
Lunar and Solar eclipses
The text describes the astronomical phenomena of the Sun and the Moon eclipses, which are predicted by the Antikythera Mechanism.
Intermediate operation test during the assembling of the transparent replica of the Antikythera Mechanism (scale 3:1)
For each assembly step of a model, a functionality test is conducted. One such test is presented in the specific video.
Functional and transparent replica of the Antikythera Mechanism (scale 3:1)
Distinct characteristic of the specific model is the transparency of its materials and its large size
