5 років томуThe Antikythera Mechanism Episode 9 - Making The #Epicyclic Pin and Slot Gearing, by Clickspring.
In this video I make what is arguably the most impressive section of the mechanism - the small pin-and-slot module that models the #Ancient #Greek theory of the variable motion of the #dearMoon.

@@TheOfficialDaBoogaloo On the other hand, the number of people who have the practical experience that he does with this device means that he probably does have some salient information that might have gone overlooked by people working strictly from the theoretical end. And it also is important to realize that, given what he has fabricated from scratch using materials of the day, it really would not be a stretch that a well-funded and dedicated person of that period could have made actual fabricating machinery. We are getting a much broader view of what their capabilities were. I would not be surprised in the least if he has found something overlooked.

I second that! Very humbling. The only place I have seen that ahead and behind rotation shift is in the prop shaft joints on automobiles. When angled, a single joint displays this phenomena, making the prop shaft rotation go ahead and behind the gearbox output, so you need to use two joints at the same angle so this is cancelled out, giving back the constant velocity to the drive train. Front wheel drive cars have a special joint that has to contend with both suspension and steering angles at the same time and guess what it is called! A constant velocity joint 👍 patented by Alfred Rzeppa from Poland.

@srfrg9707 5 років тому
aserta Hi. The real cause of the regression of ancient greek technology has nothing to do with christianity. It's the roman invasion that destroyed it, as described by the story about the assassination of Archimedes by a roman soldier while he was asking him 'don't disturb my circles'. This story is certainly a fiction. Those 'circles' symbolise the mechanical technology lost after that invasion. By the way the wreakage on wich the antikythera mechanism was found is precisely a roman chip bringing back what romans looted in Ionia. If it's the typical payload of roman cargos, it means they looted all the statues and mechanical devices they could. They copied the art, as we know, but didn't had the mathematical skills to reproduce mechanical devices. Or didn't care. Imagine the US had killed Dr Van Braun for war crime. No Apollo missions, no GPS, no satellites. Greeks finaly manage to hellenise the roman empire, and the Hebrews as well. The result was christianity. Well, we did what we could with the circumstances. Christianity brought a moral revolution to the roman empire : the humble was as sacred as the rich and powerfull in the eyes of God. You can't pick and choose which greek achievment you like the most. Both are due to us. By the way, sophisticated mechanics where still developped during the Byzantine empire althow less complex. This channel has shown a few exemples too. What destroyed it was the 4th crusade that ruined the empire and then the ottoman domination. That was the total dark age of Greeks. But greek scholars flew to Italy and fueled the Renaissance. Without that disaster, no western renaissance, no industrial revolution, no USA. History is complex. Don't rewrite it. Regards.

You could film a shot where the "box" is viewed against a background of one or two mirrors in a way that all the pointers on both sides of the box could be simultaneously seen moving in their full glory. With two mirrors at right angle, and a carefully chosen angle for the camera, the double-reflected image of the rear side would not be reversed.

I cannot believe that you formed each tooth on ALL of these gears so perfectly that I think a CNC couldn't do better. Tolerances of fractions of a millimeter!

Click spring.... your videos are incredible. First I’d like to say your shop is incredible only topped by your attention to detail. Thank you for inviting us all along on your journey. It blows my mind that this object found on the sea floor after hundreds of years of corrosion and the effects of natural process’s could be analyzed to such a wonderful degree. It’s a fantastic detective story of the mechanical and engineering abilities of ancient civilization. Then to recreate the mechanism so everyone can see how it works, using historical tools to further your understanding of how the mechanism was originally built, is extraordinary. I love to let my mind wander and follow a path of “what if”. What if the knowledge of these ancient engineers had been past on to the common human at the time not lost into the sands of history. Where would humanity be today? Would we have developed super weapons to early in our history and as s result killed ourselves off? Or would we already be a multi planet species bent on reaching the nearest star system?

The video craftsmanship is just as good as the mechanical craftsmanship

I just found this channel because Adam Savage mentioned it during one of his builds, and I think I'm in love.

Simply Beautiful... As always. The best production value of any UKposts content I've seen... And your device, my goodness... It's a work of art, just like your clock. I watch these videos with my young girls to inspire them to craft Beauty. Thank you for being such an example of Artisan-ship in this factory-line world...

Watching you work through the intricate brass parts is mesmerizing. Thank you for doing this video.

I am, as I’ve always been, in total awe of your skills and understanding of such a masterpiece of technological knowhow of something that had been caked in crud for thousands of years, and yes I know X-rays showed most of the gears etc but, how they made them has been mind blowing.....(I’m sure they made watches back then too! LOL) Chris you have such a wonderful way of explaining things and it’s being a total pleasure following you in this (and other) journey. Thank you so much my friend.

Holy HELL. Just spent six hours watching all this from episode one. Your skills are godlike. Please keep them coming.

This certainly seems like an evolved design, I wonder how many were built. Fascinating... It seems likely that the first few weren't so compact and I'd bet that the various motions existed in other, less complex machines.

There is something incredibly satisfying in seeing the gears of a mechanism like this turn!

@epiccoffeedrinker3961 5 років тому
As always, this video, like all of your others, is mesmerizing and astonishing. The amount of craftsmanship and effort you've put into this so far can't be matched by many other hobbiests or enthusiasts. This is truly a great work of art. I look forward to seeing the rest of this series and hope for many more like it.

Sublime is the only adjective that I can find to describe this channel. So much thought and hard work required to provide 17 minutes of breathtaking video. Each one is a jewel. Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers from Kansas.

Chris, following this series, I have been doubly overwhelmed by: 1. Your in-depth research of techniques and tools and superior craftsmanship, plus the superb quality of your videos 2. The amazing knowledge of the people who designed and constructed the original mechanism - I would like to go back it time and watch them. This remarkable development makes you, arguably, the most informed and experienced person on Earth for all things "Antikythera Mechanism" I bow to the Master!
@Mandurath 5 років тому
Mind blowing as usual. The quality of your content is as good or better than any commercially "How's it made" type program on TV I've ever seen. Thanks.
@madnessbydesign1415 5 років тому
These videos always simultaneously sooth and agitate my OCD brain. I love that you not only show how you're making this amazing piece, but you also give the history, and function (showing how it tracked the elliptical orbit of the Moon blew my mind-parts apart). Fantastic work, again...
@ytutor561 3 роки тому
No words for express your knowledge. in the end You are the most talented mechanical engineer i have ever seen.

Chris you are the epitome of accuracy and precision - I’m a knife maker who loves my work but you inspire me to even greater levels of attention to detail.... thanks 👍🏻
