 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

This is a fascinating video, and well explained: Relay Computer It's videos like this, that make me amazed at how far we have come with MCU's, and they CONTINUE to get faster, smaller and cheaper..... EDIT: Fixed link to make it clickable. Edited 2020-02-07 15:22 by Grogster Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Grogs, All, Interestingly when I did my applied Mechanics course (way back when I had hair) we studied Pneumatics, We used Boolean arithmetic to calculate a design for a system. I dare say that could also be used as a computer. All very interesting but any way of storing a 0 or 1 could be adapted to be a computer.. Kind Regards Mick PS. I dont think anyone has actually mad a Pneumatic computer before so you could get listed in the Guinness book of records. Err, Actually, I just asked doctor Google and it seems Pneumatic Computers have been around for years.. Well, cut off my legs and call me shorty. You learn something every day.

The Valve body in an Auto Transmission was something I could never get my head around. Valve Body Pretty easy to ignore though, given the fact that it looks like a brain....  Cheers. |
