Mechanical circuits: electronics without electricity

Loved the electroboom reference 💓

it"s only a matter of time before someone starts making a working computer...

Wow! I will have to find a way to get these for myself.... I will show the kids but, let's be real: it would be for me, ultimately 😂

I absolutely LOVE this! Thank you for showing this to us! 👍 I can why you'd want to show this to people without having it be a sponsor! It's such an amazing model, it is it's own advertisement!

.....its really cool to feel that "always man, I want that soooo bad" feeling I haven't felt since I was a kid (N64...it was the N64 😂)! Outstanding!

Excellent, a very good place to learn Mechatronics, keep it up and all the best..

can you make a computer with it?

I understand electrical theory and honestly have never gone past the hydraulic analogy when teaching.

Mr. Parkinson graded my paper, i could never know the grade... q=D

¡Gracias! Keep doing what you are doing

MAKE WHEATSTONE BRIDGE PLS

full bridge rectifier. wearing electroboom eyebrows. 😂

great stuff

Mechanical circuits can work. And really reliably. As a child I was gifted a bigger plastic clock for self-assembling by my parents. After assembling this clock, case, all the gears, the spring wheel for cranking by which it was driven I got to crank it up. And it worked. Pretty long though. It even had a pendulum which actually was there to control the step-by-step movement of the whole mechanical gearset inside by a twin-claw actuator for the smallest gear. It was adjustable as well (movable piece of weight) so one could control the overall speed of it as good as possible.

One problem, the current (chains) don't change speed in electric circus. The resisters get hotter depending on the value and limit the amount of current flow not it's speed.

they push each other by their electric field

Great video. I prefer your eyebrows as discrete components..

Make a combination lock!

not the full bridge rectifier unibrow

he puts on unibrow before he says full bridge rectifier😂😂😂

looks like dc powered

Finally a person inclined towards science, who is sincere.
There are so much pseudo scientists out there, selling people their( or others) theories as proven facts.
Thank God, at least one sincere soul in the field of modern science.🙏
Most people f.e. take the Copernican Model as proven fact,
which it is not.

I have always thought of electronics as plumbing with wires. A diode is like a check valve, a capacitor is like a bucket, a transistor is like a valve, a resistor is like a narrow pipe, and so on...

Here's a simple component you might want to try making with Spintronics and showing us: 1 Intel Core I-7 😄

Electricity manifests itself when the magnetic field is disturbed by the motion of electrons.
This motion may be a back-and-forth as in AC, so long distances are not required.
In fact, no electrons are getting inside at point A and coming out at point B.
Water flowing in a pipe is a good analogy but only describes a conductor (copper wire).

Nobody knows how energy was produced or created in the first place, but we know it is thereby the work it does.
A better analogy to describe electricity (energy) could be a floating plastic duck moving up and down by waves in a large body of water.
We can see the floating duck moving but barely traveling any distance. Water was disturbed, and disturbance means work (action).

Just an idea.

This "Gears and chains" examination was for me 1000 hundred MILLION times better than the "water flowing through pipes" analogy. It just made that much more sense for whatever reasons human brains have such disparate modes of working from one the next: even though we all have a model which is essentially the same working principles---right??? Now I don't know! jeez H christo. anyway, as I try for the millionth time to grasp basic principles of how electricity works and everything that follows from here, this video did help me on my way. Thanks!

This is like the first digital computers compared to the mechanical computers of the day. You tried to make a water computer what are the forms are there fire?

Build RAM

very cool, but i dont even need to go to the site to know that this is probably insanely expensive and probably best for classroom settings which is a shame because itd be fun to play with

Nice tribute to ElectroBoom!

I just think this video just needs a better thumbnail. Too awesome

I would like to request an x86 processor using spintronics. If you could spare the time and cost for this please, I will guarantee you exactly 1 view and like for that video. Tbh I probably wouldn't watch it all the way through but I'm interested in how much space it would take up and also how you would debug issues with it. This is all probably going to be very easy for you given you had a paper published when you were 19.
Anyhow, I reckon I'd like to attach it to machines in the gym and farm cryptocurrencies using it

I have been five years studiying electical engineering and i have to say this just broke my mind. I somehow understand how it works and its a really cool way of visualizing it. But omfg who designed this. this is so complex in its on way that i cant really explain how it frustrates me to not understand it completely when seeind that weird circuit made with gears XDDDD I have mixed feelings

EXCELLENT!!!
thx

EXCELLENT!!!
thx

An interesting thing about this is that you also get some of the parasitics with the ideal components. Things have friction, so there's resistance, and then there's also parasitic inductance in the inertia in the chains and the wheels. And probably also there's parasitic capacitance in components as the plastic flexes and acts like a spring.

I saw that video about year ago which you mentioned.

What would be cool is a follow-up video talking about the possible gates you can make with this... see is someone can get doom running on spintronics computer /j

A joule thief circuit would be cool!

this guy has helped me more then my teacher has in the last 6 semesters 💀

damn, ive been trying to make a water version of the analogy, but wasnt able to do components like transistor

The electrons actually ARE pushing on each other.
Fields have forces. That veritasium video was scientism junk.

damn it just blew my mind! I would like to see the components in a better material, higher quality and with no slack

Analogies are a great menace to a correct understanding, and this probably explains why electrical engineers are often pseudoscientists.

Why does he suddenly gain and lose a unibrow mid video? I feel like im missing something
