Georgios Vasileiou is currently on course to complete his Ph.D. thesis on high pressure angle gear transmissions. His research focuses mainly on the optimization of gear geometries, modelling of gear dynamics, experimental gear strength evaluation and the use of alternative gear and lubrication materials.
The earliest example of a gear train dates to at least 2,000 B.C. when Chinese engineers built a chariot that used a complex planetary mechanism made of wooden gears to let a dragon head continuously point south when driven around (Ref. 1). In Greece, a surprisingly advanced Antikythera gearbox mechanism, incorporating at least 37 precisely crafted bronze gears, was built years later, between 205–60 B.C. (Ref. 2).
