Credit: Guillermo Carvajal / labrujulaverde.com The Antikythera Mechanism is a complex system of bronze gears that functioned like an astronomical clock. Although only fragments remain, previous ...

Over the past two decades researchers have been analyzing this component to calculate how well the Antikythera mechanism functioned. Two major problems with the gear train have emerged.

Unfortunately, the Antikythera Mechanism spent more than two millennia buried at the bottom of the sea, and an unknown amount of time functioning before that. Its gears are highly corroded ...

The Antikythera mechanism, a mysterious ancient Greek device that is often called the world’s first computer, may not have functioned at all, according to a simulation of its workings.

The Antikythera mechanism was similar in size to a mantel ... it modeled epicycles with trains of small gears riding around larger ones. Though some experts have dismissed this as beyond the ...

The Antikythera mechanism, found by sponge divers off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1901, was created around 2,200 years ago. The device, which contains bronze gears, has sometimes been ...

“We hope that our findings about the Antikythera mechanism ... Wright's closer analysis revealed a fixed central gear in the mechanism's main wheel, around which other moving gears could ...

The Antikythera Mechanism is not just a relic; it offers a view into the past that challenges our understanding of ancient Greek science and engineering. With its intricate gears and detailed ...
