OC= Playback speed X2 ;)

I love relay computers... you get to experiment with obsolete technology and get a drum machine for free. ;)

Thing sounds like an old engine idling, I really love it.

It's beautiful 😍

The felt bushing around tuning pins is unnecessary. Btw, the large, metal, things in the sound board, with the large red felt washers, (behind the 4 ft bridge), are the hitch posts for the 4ft strings. Two strings per post.

Yo sick lol

wasn't the 4' supposed to be the first to play when staggered?

I still don't understand how the continuous wave is created. Does the electricity produced by the alternator produce a continuous wave when the capacitor is not connected? Like spark gap transmitters but capasitors are not connected.

Thanks for sharing!

I find myself wondering all the time, if a computer becomes self-aware, would it ever be able to determine, without access to the outside world, what it's made of?

That is actually really impressive! I bet it's a great learning project. Well done!

That is actually a great idea to learn the basics of computing... Cool build!

Incredible

Uses more ICs than relays to make a "relay computer"...

Nice rythm machine.

Is it just me or this relay computer making a beat?

"Zusie mounted in a cabinet". "Hole in the front panel". "Zusie's back side". NSFW tag, please.

Still faster than my Windows tablet, heh.

I don’t use an L shaped implement to wind on the tuning pin. It is easier to twist the pins between fingers. I also don’t tune to final pitch with each pin inserted. I do that when they are all in. It’s neater to use a block to get the pins all to the same height.

Sounds exactly like the Nostromo waking up.

"What's its baud rate?" "3." "300 baud? WOW!" "No. 3."

How did you fit an entire chess engine into the memory of a PDP-8?

The 4 foot hitchpin look like UFO motherships!

Thank you for watching the video What is the tuner application for iPhone?

Does anybody know where to purchase harpsichord strings for a sabathal harpsichord?

I love these !!!

I guess the relais are just for the nostalgic clicking sound:) With those tons of ICs they seem to play a minor roll in the computation (resemble the ALU and program counter?).

Nice videos

Amazing collection, that teletype is in incredible condition (love how the altair 8800 is just sitting ontop of the pdp-8)

It's not a relay computer if you use a table full of chips...

It's presumptuous of me to comment, since all I've done so far is practice with old guitar strings, but--are you aware of Richard Auber's trick of finishing off the loop by bending the free end into a crank or "L" shape and twisting it off the wire? It breaks the end off closer than you can get with cutters, and saves a tool change--a bit of workflow management that adds up when you have 108 strings to prepare! Also, I'd be really careful with steel tools around that wire. The needle-nose pliers make it a lot easier to put tension on it, but they pose a risk to the finished product; it's very easy to nick the part you want to sound good, especially when you're handling 108 of them. In Auber's videos the only tools he uses are a clamp and the hook; I'm not sure we all have the fingers for that, but it's probably good to aim for, both for efficiency (eliminating tool changes) and for protecting the wire.

Very good.

I suggest that you let out much more wire when you make the loop. Having the wire so close to the block as you twist it will cause the wire to bruise and sound false.

this is where power house and radio station meet. 73 de kae4466 /kf6uxj

Wonderful work! Are used to program an 8080 and Z-80 Assembly. I like that flipped on display! Would like to see some message displayed there. All good wishes. I have subscribed.

Wow, that's amazing !!!

Perfect documentation ,thnx and 73 de 7x2gk

Cooooool :)

That's why i love wiby.me ! I clicked on the Surprise Me Button, and it linked me to your Website :) wiby.me is a search engine, just for web 1.0 style websites, no corporated crap, no flat design crap, no websites with tons of scripts.

Very Nice vídeo !!

Sounds like a River Dance performance.

this machine blurs between electric power station and radio station. long live tesla. kf6uxj / ex kae4466.

Thanks for sharing, wonderful work! I wonder, can you write a program such that the act of running it creates a tune or a rhythm. (Not unlike Altair 8800 playing Daisy through EM on an FM radio).

What would really be interesting is to see a computer sending the code instead of a guy sitting at a desk... One thing comuters do better than people is timing and working long hours. Glad to see that this unique transmitter is still around. As it shows that we don't need electronics to do things such as send out radio waves. I have read about such alternators, but never seen a video or picture of one of those machines. BTW neon bulbs can also be used with tubes to make electronic counters.

That's freaking awesome! Thanks for sharing.

fibbonaci be like ldl->b 00000001 :here addab->c movb->a movc->b sbr here

feeling like i am in club
