Stunning. I actually suggested this to a very skilled AFOL mate of
mine at an event in Wexford, SE Ireland, a week ago. I was his (very

models, including a scale diorama of Hoth, complete with /walking/
AT-ATs... :?)

To be perfectly honest, the fact that the Antikythera incorporates
the first known User Guide impresses me as much as the technology....

That might be true. This guy explains that he used diffs because of the
limitations of Lego. It's not an EXACT replica.

Very impressive. May be a nice project to spend some time during the X-Mas
peiod.

I would not describe it as a re-creation. Although it does the same thing
(we think), and I asusem the overall gear ratios are thus the same, the
acutal deisng is totally different (it has to me, to fit into the
constraints imposed by a limited number of tooh counts in Lego gears).
It's a neat hack, sure, but I don't really see how it relates to a
2000-year-old device.
