This evidence that the Antikythera mechanism was not unique adds support to the idea that there was an ancient Greek tradition of complex mechanical technology that was later, at least in part, transmitted to the Byzantine and Islamic worlds, where mechanical devices which were complex, albeit simpler than the Antikythera mechanism, were built ...

Added Olympiad, straightened, fixed some gear sizes. Should be up to the current scheme. Not including moon phase mechanism for fear of making an already overcrowded image even worse-er. 20:09, 23 July 2012: 610 × 772 (27 KB) Lead holder: Margins! 20:05, 23 July 2012: 600 × 765 (24 KB) Lead holder: Cleaned up and showing a more correct layout ...
Each system is located on a frame attached to the body of the mechanism as a whole and each system has its own 224 toothed epicyclic carrier, driven from b1 by coaxial gears (as seen to the left of the mechanism in grey) at the same angular velocity (essentially b1/z * z/b1 = 1). Above this gear is a platform on which more gears ride.
The Antikythera mechanism, dating between 150 and 100 BC, was an early analog computer. The Antikythera mechanism , a type of device used to determine the positions of heavenly bodies known as an orrery , was described as an early mechanical analog computer by British physicist, information scientist, and historian of science Derek J. de Solla ...

The Antikythera mechanism, from the Roman-era Antikythera wreck, employed a differential gear to determine the angle between the ecliptic positions of the sun and moon, and thus the phase of the moon. [14] [15] Caliper: 6th century BC Earliest example found in the Giglio wreck near the Italian coast. The wooden piece already featured one fixed ...
Built around the beginning of the 1st century BCE, the Antikythera Mechanism is the oldest known analog computer in human history, and there’s an enduring mystery surrounding what it was used for.
