Thanks, everyone, for the humorous comments. I know it's been a long time since I've posted. Here's the update on this project: In 2018, I put together plans for a full 12-bit computer based on the old PDP-8 architecture, capable of running VERY simple programs (with a maximum of 64 instructions) like finding the Nth number in a Fibonacci series. I also built prototype parts for the new mechanical logic required to make it all work. The goal would be to educate folks about how computers work in a fun, interactive way-and to push folks to think BIG (pun intended). Here's the roadblock: the machine would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, require several people to help build it and maintain it, and require a truly MASSIVE space (think warehouse, not a basement). It'll be a heavy lift to get to that point. I'm still weighing options, but a good start is that K'nex has said they will be able to support the logistics of providing the 15,000 motors required. In the meantime, if you're interested in seeing videos explaining these plans, including demos of the prototype components and how the logic works, give me a thumbs up, and I'll see if I can find the time to make that happen.

Zach Weibel More like thousands. This is a full adder, but your "billions" number is an actual transistor count. There's no good way of knowing how many full adders Company X has put on their chip, but thousands wouldn't be an unreasonable guess. (Just think: any 64-bit adder in the logic would need 64 of these.) For curiosity's sake, if you imagined that the entire chip consisted of nothing but adders, you could work backwards to figure out how many full adders would be on there....The full adder would probably be comprised of 9 gates. In CMOS logic, one of these gates probably contains 4 transistors. So we can figure that there would be 36 transistors per full adder (maybe plus a few depending on the implementation). So then on a chip with a billion transistors, you could fit 27 million of these full adders on it....But you wouldn't be able to do anything useful with it.

+Dan Ehrman Actual adders in almost all contemporary ALUs of processors (CPUs, GPUs, DSPs...) use some kind of parallel prefix tree adder (implemented as systolic or semi-systolic network), which is a different kind of topology than the (mechanical) carry ripple adder you're trying to build, except for some ultra low power & ultra small+slow µP/µC which still might use this very simple topology. Ok, a few others use carry skip or carry save adders, which is are even different topologies.

I'm more impressed that structure can support its own weight.

Although this machine looks complicated, it's real purpose should allow you to realize computers work on fundamental, universal concepts. In other words, even if you don't understand what is going on, a computer *CAN* be created simply using plastic (or wood, or brass, etc.) You could essentially take this machine back 100 or 1 Million years to teach "digital logic." Just replace plastic with metal and motors with running water. Computers are nothing other than these components, miniaturized. The *fundamental* difference between this and your iPhone is size.

It's been 19 years since Y2K, I think... I havn't seen a working clock or day light since 99... So I built one out of K'Nex. I also built a generator, and sex robot too. It's not efficient, or comfortable, but it works. Tried eating them for food, but couldn't make that work. Had to make a K'Nex mouse trap. Ironically this was actually harder to make work than the sex robot. It must be worse up there than I thought if even the mice all died off. Having solved all of my immediate needs, I am now going about trying to build a computer. Hopefully, if I can simulate the crisis event, I can find out what happened up there, and maybe even a cure. Or maybe my own creation will kill me. It's not like I have anything else to live for. The sex bot and mice aren't companions. It's this or die alone...

@TheBluMeeny

ZirrasElite Actually, let's work that out. Let's say for the sake of argument, a typical transistor or the smallest element in a modern cpu is around 20nm (this year it should be half that for the smallest process node size, again simplification). We can roughly assume from the scale of the video given that a single gate made out of k'nex in this machine is roughly 25cm. Again, a bit of simplification here is needed because in most cases the actual transistor isn't as "boxy" as shown here, it's more or less "flat". So by simple division, 2.5 m x10^-2 / 2.0 x 10^-8 m is, again roughly, 1,275,000 times bigger in actual size. Now, if we're talking graphics cards, a typical modern graphics cards usually has _billions_ of these types of elements. So uh, yeah, roughly multiply that by the scale factor of 1.2 million and well, you got your dimensions. It's literally a million times bigger XD

Win10 is a marginal improvement over Win8.1, which itself is a marginal improvement over Win8. Win10 is mostly malware built on top of a barely adequate OS. It remains that Win8 was an abomination, which I think makes OP right.

I drive my family crazy, saying you can build a computer with tinker toys, but it's true, you prove it! Your video is the closest thing to what I did for a living back in the '70's, as a designer of MSI computers. I spent my full energy to build a 1-bit full adder out of gate and flip-flop chips. Put 10 of those together on a PC board, and you've got a computer. (I displayed the first Intelligent Terminal for Computek, displayed at FJCC-69 that way.) Then Silicon Valley put the functionality that you have there in that rack, into one chip, called it the "bit slice". Then they put the cpu into a chip, and I started working on multiprocessors. (Now I'm working on fabrics for cognitive information: brain-gears.blogspot.com.) Thank you for instigating that trip down memory lane...
