these old military films are clear and descriptive in ways that modern guides could learn from.

We used to fund this, instead of requiring that it be profitable in itself to exist.

Meanwhile, in Electrical Engineering 101 -- the professor throws up a picture of a rectangular B-H curve, mumbles something about how "this is how magnetic materials respond" and then moves on to the next topic in less than 3 minutes. Students shrug, and are then mystified by the black magic that is applied magnetics when encountering them in real life.

I’ve listened to the podcast 13 minutes to the moon and was looking for a simple explanation of rope core memory. This explanation is so structured and comprehensible that the technology it explains can really shine!

Same!

BEST EXPLANATION. ITS A 10 OUT OF 10

When he says that the cores will keep their residual magnetism 'indefinitely', he's not joking! Curious Marc and his team can read data from core memory some 50-60 years after it was written. Amazing stuff, especially when you see the tiny little cores interlaced with all these tiny wires that were all woven by hand.

This is NOT what is shown in Curious Marc's video. This is a writable memory and all that is shown is in service of how to write it. The rope memory data is stored permanently in how the wires are routed in and out of the cores. Those rope memories are readable not because the magnetism survived, but because the wires still go through the same cores they did 60 years ago.

By the beard.... they knew how to explain complex concepts back then. how did we forget how to do this? No wonder all the engineers trained back in those days are so amazing. they had better teachers.

I think it was the technical culture back then. Most engineers of that time probably got their first taste of technology on a farm, and then during the war had to be taught in large numbers very quickly ever more complex tech as it emerged. What your seeing is the people who learned both theory and application on a intuitive level. To be fair, some youtubers are getting to this point today, they just don't have a military budget and a battle hardened (look at the stripes on the cuff, each on is 6 months deployment) Sargent for lecturer.

They didnt. Its on purpose so people dont realize our universe is energetically interconnected and still very much alive.

How could anybody with a desire to learn not like this video?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

educational videos so good, it can teach a sleep deprived teenager in AIT.

This is such a good explanation. Quantum computers are discussed like this today :))

It's no wonder the US achieved such great technical feats in the 60s and the 70s. Our young people grew up watching this type of videos. Today they've been replaced with TikTok and twerking. It's not hard to see which direction the US is headed.

better explanation than ive ever heard in my life im 30 !!!

Reasonably well for a slave of the modern economy.

6:30 couldn't have been said better - cause and effect. Huge epiphany 17:00 IS the entanglement! Those two cores are entangled, separating them (if you could separate them) is the essence of the phenomena. We have been covering it as an undesireable property all this time. Exciting.

They never bothered to explain all of this in school, it's a pain trying to read older electronic schematics.

​@@greenthizzle4 Maybe. But as a basic knowledge, it´s fantastic.

Love the heroic music!!!!

i got it at first time! Now I'm gonna make one too, cause I can't make a silicon transistor

Wow,,, clear and precise information

more than my text book can explain....

Great stuff

LAMO: Opening Line: Modern Data processing systems like these...... I love it.

Love these videos. Subscribed.

More turns of coil and more voltage gets the job done .

A Teaching is As Clear the Understanding of the Teacher is Clear and has the INTENTION to Communicate this Understanding. Now You may deduce the reasons why the present teachings are not so Understable... ^_^

so cool

Thank you for video

I am glad my guys didn't add a "dot side" but sided instead with over-loading and blowing our little dot and getting that out of the way so he could maintain our attention for 40 more minutes instead of losing us to taking a powder in the parking lot.

The displayed flux and current relation is for the current of electrons (from negative to positive), in stead of the electric current(from positive to negative).

I thought it looked back to front compared to what I know (Right hand rule).

Let me begin by expressing my sincere gratitude to You for "eternizing" these films and for sharing them with us. How ever I have a question regarding what "Sergeant" is saying. After just having said: "A non-dot input sets the first core to a 1(one). Nothing happens to the second core". (@20:56) He continues to say: " Power flowing in this direction sets a core to 0(zero), but that's where this core is Already".. Now while that is true and correct, it seems a bit odd that he at least doesn't add that EVEN if the second core was a 1(one) it STILL would not change TO a 0(zero) due to the fact that the "unidirectional device" would NOT ALLOW any current to flow in that direction !?? Since the "unidirectional device" TOTALLY disables the second core to "receive input" on it's "Dot-Input" [[I.e. setting it to 0]] regardless of what the previous core is "doing".... Or am I misunderstanding how this works ?? Best regards.

Thousands...almost makes you wonder what you could do with so little.

Thanks

I'm just sitting here with my mind blown over bit shifts being literal electrical pulses.

Imagine flying to the moon and back on this technology. No magnets on board please! If you want to return. :-(

It is unbelievable

If you dismiss the dot concept and rely on lenz-law at 21:02, the bit will never shift because there is not a change in a magnetic field. If I am wrong, help me understand without using this added dot concept because it can easily be arranged differently and not give the same answer.

Magnetic core memory was amazing!!! That is, when you had nothing else. Then along came the transistor and magnetic cores were thrown out to the trash pile of history.

They were actually used two decades or so into the transistor era for being way smaller, cheaper, more reliable and less power hungry. Transistor integration is what made it obsolete in the end.

and then the transistor, so we trow all this knowledge away.

11:53 i see a logo, but i cannot for the life of me remember which logo. Or am i seeing things?

القوة القسرية coercive force

So that's a bit. I wondered what they looked like.

forgive me, if this is a dumb question, but I always wondered? why the magnetic core needs to be toridal? why can't it be a bar or a cylinder?

@TB-jl9fr

There also exist rod type cores and so called I cores, which are basically a flat bar. Huge benefit of toroidal is, that you can fit a decent amount of turns and and also have the terminals aligned propper. Also, they are very compact. The shape you desire depents on your magnetics purpose.

join the dot side, Luke!

Wow: "Modern data processing like these..." heh.

In Father and my Husband Jesus' Name, Amen ✝️✨

Shhh don’t tell 🤫

This is what giving a fuck looks like. Modern school teaching could learn something from this.

Put that type memory in a cell phone it would be to big to carry

lmfao, it's a pre-transistor-era "eeprom".
