Researchers simulated the device's ancient gear system to find out whether the contraption actually worked. Apparently, it did not.

    Just a series of videos of someone HAND building one.

      Yep, I actually mentioned his videos in another comment on here. I thoroughly enjoyed them (and all of his other videos for that matter)

      Definitely worth checking out for anyone who likes this kind of stuff.
