Hello Fabio,

This is a beautiful animation and clever mechanical design! I can’t say that I 
completely understand either. What software did you use to compose and animate 
the gears?

Thank you for sharing your work. It was definitely a worthwhile use of two 
week. I wish I could say I’ve accomplished as much in that time.

Best wishes,
John

Kepler

2017-07-07 Thread fabio.sav...@nonvedolora.it
Hi, I just finished  a work that has engaged me in the last two weeks.

For those are interested about the 
Kepler's laws, it

---
New Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail replacement - get it here:
http://www.oeclassic.com/

 is an orrery to show the true anomaly starting from the mean anomaly.

The mathematical formula expresses the mean anomaly as a function of the 
eccentric anomaly, function of the true anomaly (the true anomaly is the angle 
of the vector ray that sweeps out equals areas during equal intervals of time)
The problem is that the first formula is not reversible. There are some 
iterative mathematical methods to get the eccentricity anomaly from the mean 
one, with several steps up to the desidered approximation, or it is possible 
the resolution into an infinite series of terms but not a direct formula.

Here math limps. But what can not be achieved with a formal language can be at 
hand by changing the language, so suggests Godel.
So I designed a gear structure to get the mean anomaly from the eccentric one, 
like the formula, ma the movement of the gears, unlike the formula, can work 
contrariwise.
I attached an image of an orrery, for the moment it is virtual, where turning a 
knob with a costant angular velocity, the mean anomaly, you get the movement of 
a planet on an elliptical orbit, following the Kepler's 
laws.
The turquoise planet follows the true anomaly and the one outside the zodiac 
follows the mean anomaly.
This orrery is setted with an eccentricity of 0.7216, far higher than he 
Earth's one (0.0167086), to point out the gear's dinamic and the elliptical 
movement.
I also upload a video on youtube: https://youtu.be/Y5eSOfd5Imk

This work is the entrance door to calculate the eot with gears instead to use 
the customary cam, this is the target for some future gnomonic projects.
