For those who know what the Antikythera Mechanism is you will find this quite fascinating and for those that are stargazers, you will probably want to build your own......enjoy!

Thank you for posting this!

I have already forwarded the link to friends of mine.

The original was an incredible accomplishment. The
functioning reproduction is impressive and the video
does a fine job of explaining it. Nice find, thanks again.

EXCELLENT !

Y'know I was rated at the 99th percentile in the country in mechanical reasoning. The test papers had alot of gears. Some cams and so forth, but the true math was always in the gears.

Again, EXCELLENT.
