Btw. I think there is a way to turn this into a digital number once again: Once all individual "buckets" have settled, you could put the fluid from each bucket onto a lever scale and put them at the corresponding distance to the center such that their pull on the lever corresponds to their number. So meaning: 8 _ _ _ 4 _ 2 1 | _ _ _ "measure" (maybe with a spring and a ruler). The number 8 corresponds to the fluid in the bucket which has the bit for 8 for example.

A brilliant display of logic circuits at work. I plan to use this in my class :) Just a technical correction, at 6:50 the full adder will have an OR gate instead of a XOR on the left (in the end). In other words, the Cout would come out of an OR instead XOR.

This is really cool. One thing I've always wanted to see somebody do is make an actual circuit that uses the hydrological equivalents to passive electrical components like textbooks always use to familiarize you with them. That is, use a narrow section of pipe or tubing in place of a resistor, use a flexible diaphragm that flexes back or forth as a capacitor. And use a weighted water wheel or turbine as an inductor. I've always wanted to see somebody try making something like an RLC circuit that oscillates at a specific frequency when energy is added in the form of voltage or current. OR in the case of the water circuit, by water pressure or flow. Which are the equivalents of voltage and current, respectively.

Memory leak: "I've never been so proud of such an easy joke." :)

Finally, my future computer will no longer be water cooled but water itself.

I love these different types of computers. I saw a guy once built a fully working 8-bit computer in minecraft.

Charles Babbage would be proud of this I reckon. If Babbage's computers have a steampunk vibe then this must be aquapunk.

Ada Lovelace would probably be able to figure out the decimal input.

You can do an ancillary video about fluidics. The military actually built control systems with complex logic gates that operated in line with hydraulic fluid to perform ratio, multiplication and division operations that resulted in dynamic control surfaces that adjusted force output based upon input parameters like airspeed, inertial forces and pilot input. These were early attempts at making logic based control systems that would be immune to EMP in nuclear war. What they looked like was tall stacks of thin steel plates with channels cut in them, separated by gaskets, where the inputs and outputs where holes passing into adjacent plates on one side or the other. The whole thing was filled with hydraulic fluid at pressure, and the flow thru the various inputs controlled by valves and regulators, with the flow either resulting in greater or lesser hydraulic flow to the control surfaces.

AMAZING! Thanks, truly beautiful!

You could make a number display by draining the individual reservoirs into an aggregate reservoir. Each 10ml of water is an integer increase. Actually, you already have a sort of reverse aggregate reservoir. Fill the drain reservoir to the maximum amount that can be added, and then fill the inputs from the drainage reservoir. The amount missing the the amount inside the machine.

So, I did the math, and it turns out it would take about 20,048,773 of these water-powered logic gates to be able to run Doom. Better start firing up that 3D printer. How you'd get that to show up on a screen is beyond me, but I'm sure you could figure it out. Have fun!😊

It'd be nice to see a self filling / refilling calculator where the "answer" repopulated input one and the water fill was controlled by valve "button" inputs. Also, thanks for teaching me the concept behind binary addition calculation, never took in school

While watching your video I actually came up with an idea of as to how to make a classic transistor using only water. Perhaps you could take a normal tube with a propeller in the middle which is supposed to act as a pump. The water from the first input comes directly into the center of the propeller, meaning that it won't be able to spin it much, but a second current of water comes tangent to another propeller that is coaxial with this one, meaning that both inputs have to have water flowing through them to have water at the output.

2:33 and that is what in electronics we call as timing and propagation issues. Electrical signals also suffer from timing or other problems like jutter and clock skew among others. Lenght of wires, crosstalk, etc.

I appreciate your work man

The leakiness/imperfect function of the gates honestly mimics real transistor behavior more closely. Because modern processors are running their clocks at such high speeds, the amount of time (nanoseconds) it takes for the voltage to rise or fall starts mattering a lot, so instead of reaching 0V for a logical 0, you might only hit 0.2V. by the time the output voltage is actually measured.

For those of us that were in high school in the 80s this brought back a lot of memories. I am a software engineer now and it all started with something like this.

Next step is to outdo Ben Eater: "I built a GPU with my water computer."
