[edit]Antikythera mechanism project: User:Curtis Buxton/sandbox
This article is very interesting and there looks to be some room for improvement in the article.
The accuracy section seems a bit too short because there is a lot that goes in to the placement and angles of the gears and stuff like that.
The accuracy of the device may have been off by having extra movement of somewhere close to 0.5 mm and thus making it inaccurate.[1]
Since the orbits of the planets were elliptical based, the gears could not be ellipses due to contact points. So to remedy this issue, the device was made with two gears with one slightly off axis for the other to change the speed of the gears to make an elliptical orbit.[2]
Given that the gears were hand made, likely from a template, the teeth on some of the gears could have been off by as little as one degree but that degree of error could put a planet way out of its normal path.[3]
