The Invention of Planetary Gear and Its Superior Quality Production
The question, ‘who invented the planetary gear’ is one that has intrigued many. The planetary gear system, also known as the epicyclic gear system, was invented by an ancient Greek engineer named Antikythera in the 2nd century BC. It was later developed and refined by various other engineers and inventors, making it the highly efficient and versatile system that it is today.
