Just to avoid any confusion I want to inform you that I altered my user name from sotza that was parts of my real name to Machaneus a month name from antiquity that is written somewhere in the Antikythera Mechanism (my avatar). Given the opportunity, two interesting links on the subject , the second one is an ongoing reconstruction of the mechanism from an extremely talented man. http://www.antikythera-mechanism.gr/
Wow, i dropped by to check the new threads, hours later i have looked at articles of the astrological art piece mentioned then watched the above video and more, wow, i implore everyone to check the videos in the series above. That guy is an engineering master. Good to see you man and thanks for the video.
Hello Machaneus Its little hard to forget Sotza but i will try my best The video is great and I admire that guy's passion and enthusiasm about creating the wheel. I was thinking about the DD central gear when he was cutting the teeth on the wheel
@T-ster : Actually ,as a warning, there is what is called "The Antikythera Mechanism bug" ,great researchers namely D.de S. Price or M.T.Wright as well as common people have been affected ! @deech :Thanks Deech ! @Boodokhan : My thoughts exactly ! What else could you expect from members of S2G family ! @Jorge :Thanks!
If you watched any of the previous clickspring videos and you want to see the progress of the Antikythera Mechanism construction, he has just released another amazing video :Episode 6
Sotza is unforgettable -- especially for me! But Machaneus makes a lot of sense, so I'll remember it as well
Thank you my dear friend Samovar! To complicate matters even further with onomatology ( the study of name formation and naming practices) Sotza is formatted with a part of my first real name and a part of my last name. Now my Greek first name is Sotiris which translated in Italy means literally Salvatore !For convenience my friends call me Sotos (Sotiris). Machaneus on the other hand means mechanic in ancient Greece which is my profession and a great deal of my hobbies are related with such activities. Sorry if you read so far this useless information but I think there are reasons that @samovar will find them interesting!
