These simulations were written in C++ as a senior year project by Fivos Asimakopoulos (email: fivasim at gmail.com) These versions are preliminary ones, without much attention to the relative gear diameters or vertical positions. http://www.etl.uom.gr/mr/index.php?mypage=antikythera_sim
Why on Earth would you want to strap one of these to your wrist?

How Much Data Is That?

Transformers

In the photograph, note that the coil on the left has fewer coils than that at right (the insets show close-ups). The sketch and circuit show a step-up transformer. To make a step-down transformer, one only has to put the source on the right and the load on the left. ( Important safety note : for a real transformer, you could only 'plug it in backwards' only after verifying that the voltage rating were appropriate.)
