There’s a guy on youtube- clickspring, who made a replica of it, and used a lot of homemade tools that could have been available in ancient Greece. I don’t think he strived for 100% accuracy, but it definitely seemed like he put some thought into how such a device could have been built in the ancient world.
I’m certainly no archeologist, engineer, watchmaker, etc. but it left me feeling pretty convinced that such a device could be made to work with tools and techniques available at the time.
I think he had it spread out over about 12 main videos probably about 15 minutes each, give or take, so it’s a bit of a time commitment to go through them all, but I found it pretty interesting.
Rebuilt ancient device and tested it feels like the kind of thing that should really be peer reviewed and not just accepted at face value, doesn’t it?

That’s why it’s on a preprint server I assume
Of course. I mean why doesn’t Gizmondo wait for the review to finish?
