Conclusions from the Functional Reconstruction of the Antikythera Mechanism
View through CrossRef
After a careful examination of the Antikythera Mechanism computed tomography scans from the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project, we designed and constructed the mechanical parts that are visible on the computed tomography scans. We then reconstructed two functional models of the Antikythera Mechanism, and in this paper, we present the observations and the conclusions drawn from their use. The use of these models helped us to understand how the Mechanism worked and provided answers to questions regarding the presence and the use of some parts.
