The Antikythera Mechanism Episode 7 - Constructing The #Saros & #Exeligmos Train, by Clickspring
In this video I make the gearing that drives the #eclipse prediction function of the mechanism. Be sure to check out the reference links below for more info on the Saros cycle, and other eclipse related stuff.
[EDIT: At 2:57 there is a typo - the final number in the denominator of the upper expression should be a 30 as per the sketch rather than 90 - Cheers :) ]

Abbreviated Transcript:
01:29 This leads to what's known as a Saros series, where over a period of well over a thousand years, roughly 70 to 80 eclipses, will follow one after the other in sequence, separated by the regular interval of 223 lunar months.
05:30 Now the exact nature of that technology is the big question, and we may never know for sure. But we can certainly try a few things out and see what might have been the case. So with that in mind, its time to open up a hole position that I marked back in episode 2. This is the pivot location of the E assembly, and its a perfect opportunity to make the very first hole in the mechanism using some of that ancient tool tech: The Pump Drill.
18:34 The main plate was then opened up, and the square bearing hole formed. These two positions are essentially absolute locations, governed by the dial artwork. And depthing could have been conducted from these positions before filing out this square hole. But at the risk of the position almost certainly moving as the square was formed, and so compromising the depth.
20:44 The height of the Saros pointer assembly is set by the height of the bearing in which it sits, and that height can be easily set by this little spacer. I originally made it slightly oversized, but its a straight forward job to set a clearance of just a few hundredths of a millimeter, by simply abrading the spacer until the barest daylight remains between the adjacent assemblies No special tools, or absolute measurement are required. Just keen eyesight, and a flat abrasive surface.

@@theexchipmunk Agreed. The ancients had black, seriously black skies and the stars incredibly clear. I have to drive a long way to get close to that for my astrophotography. They command attention and study so, it's little wonder they spent a lot of time doing exactly that.

@Reman1975 4 жыл бұрын

@Dr. M. H. Possibly, But from my experience, for this kind of precision hand tool work you can't really let your mind wander and rely on muscle memory. You have to be in the here and now to avoid mistakes. I suppose if you mean "Meditative" as in focusing all your attention on the task at hand so no other concerns of life intrude on your consciousness, Then maybe......... But I'd personally still be too sick of hand cutting gear teeth to continue after less than 5 hours. :)

@Reman1975 4 жыл бұрын

@Dr. M. H. Well, I think 5 hours would be about the time it would take for me to start screaming "WTF am I doing?!?!?, Not doing this sort of work was what milling machines, Indexing heads and bloody involute cutters were made for !!!!!". :) OK, I was trained as an engineer, subsequently I only tend to see this sort of thing from a machinist's perspective. I know that with the right basic machinery I could crank these out 20 at a time and have 100 made before Chris could get 1/8 of the way around the one he was making, And knowing that fact would be eating away at me the whole time I was "Messing about" with hand files. So I don't think this mindset would allow me to attain any sort of inner peace or tranquillity from the task. :D

your videos dont even brush on the surface of how much work your doing on this mechanism. All the filing, Marking, Cleaning, designing and research your putting into this is phenomenal. Amazing work as always Chris.

I make precise and delicate paper ornaments as a hobby, so it's always fascinating to see someone do exactly that - but with metal!

Look up Bad Obsession Motorsport: kzfaq.info/love/HvBHWBzzB7NyU5tIiEZHBg They're trying to jam the engine and full running gear from a Celica GT4 into a classic Mini. The quality of work is off the scale, and the vids are very well recorded and edited, so it's always entertaining from that view as well. SERIOUSLY worthwhile. :-D

I was thinking a video from This Old Tony would make it the best week ever, if it happens today I'm off to do the lotto 🤞

These is one of the best video series i have seen on youtube. Seriously. I wish you would make a video every week but i can tell you spend the same amount of care filming editing and doing the voice over work as you do making the actual machines. Great work!

Just wanted to thank you for making this series. I ended up here just from wondering how metal files were invented and made in antiquity. I've only known of the antikythera in passing but your devotion to recreating it is just something else. Your work is absolutely fascinating. Cheers!

Chris, you and the project are nothing short of amazing - knowledge, design, tool making, workmanship, file work. I used to think I was pretty good in the workmanship department. Not any more. You bring it to an absolutely different level. Thank you for sharing and giving us a target to strive for. Milan

Wonderful craftsmanship, both today and when the mechanism was invented and first built by our ancient ancestors. They had a profound understanding of the movement of the skies.

Found Clickspring through AVE and just finished binge watching this little series, I should have checked the posting times between videos first because now I have to wait for more of this incredible experience to be made..... I need more. Phenomenal work truly a master craftsman.

Only an hour ago I was checking if you’ve made any new videos and thought this episode was surely due, how weird is that!… As always I’m left in awe of your craftsmanship and knowledge of the Antikythera mechanism. You never disappoint the viewer and I can’t wait for the next instalment... Cheers Chris. 👍🏼🏆😊
