See updated video here:    • Virtual Model of the Antikythera Mechanism  

This 3D Model and technical rendering of the Antikythera Mechanism was made by Scott Shambaugh in Solidworks for AME 308 at USC.

The Antikythera Mechanism is the first known mechanical computer, used by ancient Greeks to predict the path of planets in the sky, the dates of eclipses, and several religious calendars.

Blueprints for the mechanism do not exist, partially due to a lack of archeological evidence, and partly due to a hole in the literature. This was modeled from a combination of gear ratios, overall dimensions, and rough layout as set forth by Freeth et al. in their paper, "The Cosmos in the Antikythera Mechanism."
