MARBLE ADDING MACHINE

Hi, welcome to my website.
I will post some more information about us here soon.
Whilst a neat idea, I’m afraid Finstahy is wrong — the machine could form part of the arithmetic unit of the NES’s processor, but it lacks the capacity to perform a series of operations based on a program. A human can stand in for this control unit by following a series of instructions, but the human could replace the 8-bit arithmetic unit too
No way, a binary calculator made of wood!
Binary ftw?
Help me with my homework!!!!!!!!
this is very nice, I love the logic of it.
@jib1000 Placing a marble in the machine counts as a 1, but avoiding a slot would be a 0. For example, at 0:48, he adds 101 + 110 + 111 = 10010
Also, I think that this would be a good tool to use for teaching people about binary.
@TheQuark6789 How is placing a marble in a slot labeled “4″ converting? If the slot were labeled “10″ then you would be converting instead of the machine.
People who don’t understand binary can still use this machine.
@jib1000 I don’t really think the machine converts decimal to binary, because you have to convert it before you enter the numbers (marbles) in.
@TheQuark6789 Aren’t places represented by, well, their place?
What you’re trying to say is that this machine is a mechanical adding machine that CONVERTS decimal into binary.
Great idea. I want to build one as a decoration( painting )
Thaks for sharing & I hope to find some stuff to order
wow thats awesome
It is true that, in binary, there are only 1s and 0s. However, as stated at 0:06, the rocker position represents the 1s and 0s. The numbers at the top and bottom of the machine represent the place.
@protorb No i have my degree in mathematics. 1,2,4,8,16,32 etc. is an geometric progression of 2. in the form of 2^n. They are not in binary. in binary 1=1
2=10 4=100 8=1000 16=10000 binary is notation of numbers using only ones and zeros. Try looking it up.
@jib1000 @jib1000
Are you a computer [programmer / language] expert by any chance?
1,2,4,8,16,32 Are in Binary, just his machine speeds up the process by labeling what each section is adding to.
I know this may be seeming to come off a little strangely, then again it might just be me…..
Meh, I can’t control what people think or have opinions on, so share away with what you know.

@Matthiaswandel you’re so humble although very talented.
Its really cool.
One problem, in “binary” there is no 2 4 8 or 16
Binary is only 1 and 0
That’s really cool.
i want to buy that to do my homework!
@idlewild You are retarded.
it gets boring stupid math stuff :/
oooo this is neat!
