Modul Seri 1 : Volvelle Inovasi Basic |
Volvelle Inovasi (Indonesian language) is an eclipse astronomical instrument. Developed from old volvelle created by Philippe De La Hire in the middle century. But, we will see many differences about them.
In this module, we can read the history and journey of volvelle Volvelle Inovasi. I fond it on a astronomical journal by Lars Gislen and Chris Eade with title “Philippe De La Hire’s Eighteenth Century Eclipse Predictor”. Then, I fond Philippe manuscript about it with book tittle “Tabulae Astronomicae Ludovici Magni Iussu Et Munificientia Exaratae Et In Lucem Editae”.
We can predict an eclipses easily and quickly just with this volvelle. May be we need two operations to get the eclipse data such hour, day and month. This simple operation help everyone to know when an eclipse will occur. So, I can say that everyone have an astronomy interesting can use this volvelle for their predicting.
To be honest, I got many appreciations from my lecturer when I examined it in Semarang 2019. And this moment become the beginning of our vision to establish my brand volvelle Inovasi. The reason is because this volvelle become the first eclipse instrument in my country and many institutions that have to bring it into their room.
But, for all my apologize. This module is still in Indonesia language because for the first time I created it to indoneisan people. The eclipse data in approximated basic, so you will find a stricking difference with contemporer data or algorithms. This problem makes me to concept it for more beautiful and useful with English language. So, please support me forever.
WHAT WE CAN READ ON THIS MODULE?
Good question. In this module, we can learn about Philippe Volvelle such as calendar plate (piringan kalender), division plate (piringan divisi), epoch plate (piringan epoch), and a short record of Philippe Works.
Then, we will enter development chapter such as transforming algorithms from Philippe to Volvelle Inovasi, division plate vs moon plate, new calendar concept, and how to use Volvelle Inovasi easily and quickly. For accuration, we can read it on 33th pages.
Finally, nedless to say that that this module is just a short explanation of Volvelle Inovasi. But, I think this is enough for understanding about Volvelle Inovasi.
If you think this is useful, share to other please. And always give us support to research and develop anything about classical astronomical instrument. Link for download here
