SCOTT RUSSELL MECHANISM ANIMATION FULL
You can see a preview of the Antikythera reconstruction project at the top, watch the full project above, and see individual episodes showcasing different phases of construction on YouTube. Tony Freeth and colleagues of the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project - Clickspring shows how the device might have fit together and makes educated guesses about the right placement of its dozens of small parts. Using the best scientific model of the mechanism to date - published this year by Dr. If the Antikythera mechanism is a “celestial clock,” who better to design and build its reconstruction than a clockmaker? That is exactly what we see in the videos above, created for the clockmaking YouTube channel Clickspring. Instead of hours and minutes, the hands displayed celestial time.” And as the knob turned, trains of interlocking gearwheels drove at least seven hands at various speeds. There was a knob or handle on the side, for winding the mechanism forward or backward. Like a clock, the case would’ve had a large circular face with rotating hands.
The mechanism is “similar in size to a mantel clock, and bits of wood found on the fragments suggest it was housed in a wooden case. The 2,000-plus year-old device continues to reveal its secrets, including hidden inscriptions found during CT scans of the object, as Smithsonian reported in 2015.
