Computers add numbers together using logic gates built out of transistors. But they don't have to be! They can be built out of greedy cup siphons instead! I used specially designed siphones to works as XOR and AND gates and chained them together so they add 4 digit binary numbers.

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.

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.

Great way to explain the logic. Just a note, in the full adder, the xor that doesn't belong to any of the half adders can be replaced with an or gate, in a real life situation you would probably want to have a circuit that is as simple as it needs to be. I get that using the syphons it's easier that way tho

Maybe something less computationally overwhelming like Tic-Tac-Toe or Tetris could be achievable (maybe). In tetris, it could be helpful that both water and the tetrinimos want to fall down. Who know? Fill the gates with more saturated color and that can be out display!!!!

6:53 The result should be 0 and the carry 1, you did the opposite. Result: (1 xor 0) xor 1 = 1 xor 1 = 0 Carry: (1 & 0) xor ( (1 xor 0) & 1) = 0 xor ( 1 & 1) = 0 xor 1 = 1 We can also do the addition in binary: 1 + 0 + 1 = 10 => result 0, carry 1.

@flatikk 10 місяців тому
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.
@koshi6505 7 місяців тому
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.
