Thank for washing Some cool sources for my project that you can check out if you wanna make something similar! Veritasium …

great video,
thx
Good news, your computer can also multiply and divide so you got 4 functions for the price of 2.
Example:
011 x 010 -> 000 + 011 = 011, 011 + 011 = 110
110 / 010 -> 110 – 010 = 100, 100 – 010 = 010, 010 – 010 = 000. 110 / 010 = 011
You cal also do exponentiation and square roots if you are hardcore but it will take a looooong time.
Very well done! And entertaining too! So – check, and check.
Giving inception a run for its money.
This is gold. You just got yourself a new sub
When I was 12, I made a 2 bit binary telephone exchange out of nothing but cascading relays, to switch my own personal phone line between my friend's houses.
it let me use 2 spare lines and a common ground to switch 4 phone lines – from each handset.
You deserve my sub.
I helped build a relay computer a while ago and being able to use the second pole on the DPDT relays might help making a latching circuit and inverting signals. There's also latching relays. You can also build sequencers with a stepping mechanism (using a solenoid that rotates a wheel with contacts) similar to your motor clock. Now you can have punch tape inputs so program it and store the outputs mechanically.
Really cool, computer! I did watch the full twenty minutes and subscribed as per your instructions. Crazy, I never knew those were the rules?
How about a new box (computer) for bit shifting or AND/OR? You could make the most impractical ALU ever made in the last 60 years!
Great work 🏆
Great work mate, awesome video. Keep them coming
This could definitely be an A+ science project or even an engineering project! And I was thinking that making an 8-bit calculator out of transistors is complicated. You are really talented! Make more projects and be passionate about your hobby. Wishingg all the best for you!
Ps. To make it more simple and ditching the memory part, you can just use bipolar switches, but this way you’ve learned more and that’s what it’s all about 🙂
21:35 thank you. I will try to make my own. And if i have any questions i will ask u
Finally. I love this
Computers in the 1960s used transistors. 2's Compliment turns subtraction into addition.
i’ve got a sneaky feeling that in the next 8 months this vid could break 1 mil views
Awesome video man!!
Really nice project and the video is great too – although I was a little concerned about the big secrets. Have subscribed! (is there a fine if I don't?)
i actualy make a computers to so i understand you but ._. bro this is not a adder…. it was called "adder"
i can explain the subtraction
so we have lets say 6 – 3
bin ver is 0110(6)
0011(3)
now we invert the negative and enable carry in
so it will be
0110
1100
1(carry in)
=
0011
and this is 3 ._.
so what happens is we invert the B and add 1 and its called "2's compliment" and we will add a value that lacks B so yeah….. there are nerd server called redstone army and we do minecraft computer maybe you wanna make cpu on minecraft
The algorithm seems to like this one, and so do I. +1 sub
I am very much looking forward to this new wave of William Osman and Michael reeves inspired creators. Maybe I'll get around to it some time, definitely would need to up the build quality (and code). Very well done!!!
Just discovered your channel, this is good, +1.
Awesome man! 1960s is a little late for relay computers being used in production, but this was really well put together. Check out Usagi Electric if you haven't already. Oh and you might like the November 1966 issue of Electronics Illustrated. Its just a decade counter with a rotary dial input.
This was brilliant
it’s electromechanical and you know it
usagi electric this is where veritasium get video of relay calculator. Also why you don't create some sort of primitive type of memory, like relay register? Or you can use a delay line memory, memory on a CRT (cathode ray tube), etc.
Basically you just create a relay 9-bit adder/substractor circuit, it can be called a computer but correctly named this machine as a relay calculator.
In general it's not bad, but i this you should improve your calculator, for example you can use a 7 segment nixie tube as display, relay decoder to show information on display, also you can use relay encoder (that circuit can convert decimal numbers to binary numbers), and use a D flip flop latch to hold numders on display, and use a relay shift right/left register to move numbers like modern calculator does. For the last you can create another boards for multiplication and division (for division it be realy complicated). You can create temporary memory using relay register, for that machine it can be a 9-bit relay register.
Also recommend to you watch a YouTube channel Artem Kashkanov, that man create a 16-bit realy computer he use a 800 relay to build this
