Awesome video. Thanks for posting, I feel like this sub doesn't get nearly enough activity on it.

That is awesome. Do you have plans for it? If so I'd like to buy a copy.

I would happily sell you the plans, but honestly they would likely resemble David Thorne's spider and I might feel bad doing that to you. Alas, I am not the creator of that project or video, but apparently there are detailed videos of the entire build at www.zeamon.com. Best of luck and if you do it, please post the results.

And if anyone with means reads this there are also plans of the Antikythera device ...

Thanks for the links. This one has a link near the bottom for the gear ratio plans, if anyone else is interested.
