Staines & Son sell hand-crafted brass orreries. Our solar system models are built with the most accurate orbiting planets and moons available for purchase.

This Instructable describes the design and construction of an orrery – a clockwork mechanism depicting the motions of celestial bodies. This particular orrery is a type of "tellurion" because it features the Earth, Moon, and Sun. I've designed it to accurately predict the date of future eclipses and differentiate between annular and total ...

An orrery is a mechanical model of the Solar System that illustrates or predicts the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons, usually according to the heliocentric model. It may also represent the relative sizes of these bodies; however, since accurate scaling is often not practical due to the actual large ratio differences, it ...

My priority was to design an orrery with better accuracy of the relative motion of the planets through the application of modern computational and manufacturing tools. I also wanted to make it easy to continue iterating in the future, creating newer versions of the system.

The most common design of orreries by far involves a series of nesting tubes down the central axis. The has been the popular design since they were first created and advances in machining have only made it more popular.

An orrery is a mechanical model of the movement and position of the planets in our solar system. The device accurately depicts where the earth is with respect to other planets, the sun, and the moon and how they move relative to one another.

Our most comprehensive orrery 'The Genesis' is available in three varieties: six, eight or nine planets featuring major moons and axial tilts. The first four planets, Mercury through to Mars, are of the same design found on the Inner Planet Orrery. The Six Planet Genesis takes advantage of the space vacated by the other planets.

Science Art meticulously creates our one of a kind orrery designs--mechanical models of the solar system. At the heart of our orrery models lies a powerful solid brass clockwork mechanism, calibrated to orchestrate the orbits of the planets in correct relative motion- in faithful ratio of each planet's orbit to one another.

2018年2月15日 · Orrery - A Wooden Model of a part of the Solar System. The assemble instructions are available for free download to anyone who are interested in how the mechanism is put together. The skill required to build this is advanced but very rewarding once done. It can be set for any year.

A finely engineered, technically complex brass Orrery of the Earth and the Moon as they travel around the Sun. The Tellurion Orrery is designed and handmade in England by Staines & Son. The Tellurion Orrery primary demonstrates the Earth as it moves around the Sun, the word Tellurion coming from the Latin tellus, meaning Earth.
