The Impact of Triangular-Toothed Gears on the Functionality of the Antikythera Mechanism
Esteban Guillermo Szigety, Gustavo Francisco Arenas, 2025. arXiv.
Computational model of the gear train with triangular teeth and Edmunds's 2011 measured errors; jamming in 90 per cent of runs, usually before a third of a solar turn; concludes the device either never ran or the real errors were smaller than measured. Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, April 2025.
