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.

Oh, I've never actually understood how logic gates work with binary addition before. I "learned" it in school, but never understood. This is such a clear explanation. Thank you!
ComputerPhile has done a few videos on binary logic that I thought were good (older videos so you might to scroll a bit). Some of their videos are hit or miss but there are certain presenters where you just know it's going to be good.
thanks to no one😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
no pun intended?
That's the thing about computing. You gotta get an in on all the abstractions. Like wtf is a 0 and a 1 supposed to be. When you see it working on a scale you can see, you start to actually see how things work in a computer.
In middle school I forgot about finishing my science fair project, and seeing it was due on that day, I rushed to make an analog water computer to determine the weather. If you go outside and it is raining, then it is rain today. It was a very simple design.

It's weird seeing my same minecraft Redstone circuits made from water and actually understanding what's going on
Minecraft turned out to be a remarkably good way to teach this generation's youngsters the basics of structural engineering, computation, and logistics. I'm sure that's not what Mr. Persson meant to do, but it's great how the game developed in that way.

That's water damage

I read that with a melody of "You got a friend in me", works surprisingly well.
Bringing a brand new meaning to "integer overflow"
OR STACK OVERFLOW #AMIRITE

Ok, but I was actually hoping one of them would make that joke
But integer overflow is not really this concept tho, more like short circuits?
@@ca-ke9493 huh? When your number is greater than 31, the water will literarily overflow from the left bucket. Can't get any more clear cut than that.
I've tried this a couple times and used hydrophobic coatings on glass to make outputs cleaner and the system overall more reliable. Steve always has good insights into design! that's why I love this channel and come back to older vids
Beguiling! Love it. Love the explanation, love the practical demonstration. Super 😁
The real question is: "Can it run Doom?"
I was hoping I'm not the only one.
**BFG Division** Slowly gets louder and louder.
Well yes but no.
So if you add a lot more of these maybe like maybe 500 of those water things you could probably like play minesweeper on it but you would need a screen and electricity but yes. You would just need a room about the size of your mom to house the water computer. (Sorry i just had to make a your mom joke but jokes aside it would work.)
And it would be extremely slow, like 1 frame per day.
@@fregtz735 well yes but no . This is just a very basic alu to make a programmable computer you would need memory and instruction set
Yes, but it would be the slowest game ever.
"have you tried turning it off and on again?"
"Yeah standby"
*tips the computer upside down*
if it works, it works!
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.
Great idea! Now we only need a way to do the opposite.
It is really nice to see great channels' collaboration.
That 'wet inside' on the thumbnail is amazing, there's some serious meme potential there
It's a "sbubby", there are a lot of different ones
@@pastek957 yeah, I'm on the sub Reddit, just wet inside has a nice ring, like the good old 'dead inside' sbubby

Uwu
you should use hydrophobic coating inside of the containers and tubes so liquid dont stick inside of them and use distilled water or some other kind of fluid that can flow better

I feel like some people don't realize how big affect this can have for people who will learn computer processing and stuff about computers in general. It can make learning so easier and helps understanding very well since you see example and have pepper explanation
A brilliant display of logic circuits at work. I plan to use this in my class :) Just a technical correction, at 6:50 the full adder will have an OR gate instead of a XOR on the left (in the end). In other words, the Cout would come out of an OR instead XOR.

@@ogi22 but that's not how memory leaks physically work :)
@@ogi22 :)
@@khodis2002 it is now
@@ogi22 Regarding the memory leak one, that's maybe similar-ish but not really a real-world equivalent. Memory leaks happen when a subsystem doesn't inform the OS that some part of the memory is free to be used again. So subsystem has nothing to do with the memory, OS still thinks it is being used.
A year ago I thought about making a water computer, but i couldn't develop a configuration for some logical ports. Seeing your design just blew my mind.
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.
Whoa, any fiction authors that like to incorporate "hydraulic computers" into their steampunk inspired story line, here's something for ya.
Terry Pratchett did in one of his Discworld stories (Making Money). Probably based on the economic analogue computer mentioned in the video, given its role in the story.
Ever since my Mechanical Engineering degree, I've joked that I wanted to invent the steam lightbulb and the hydraulic TV to put the EEs out of business!
Who needs a pump?
Its not fiction. We made fluidic logical components years ago. Now with 3d prineterss should be happy tine. But youtube continues to censir my message about it.....

I’m pretty excited in this Steve mould video and seeing water channels and gravity, simple stuff used to make functional logic gates that can be used and combined like circuits and that take the flow energy and transform it into light or other things to show bits being either 1 or 0 (on / off states)
It's not only that one pun - all the CS terminology about buckets, overflow, leaks, etc. really feed into the *excellent* humor.
It's almost like early computer scientists needed analogue metaphors to describe how computers worked...
I love this content! I love water physics, angles, polygons, and everything in between!
I love you mehn!
For the first time, just this singular video gave me an intuitive eureka feeling!..
Instead of splitting the lines to make a "10ml" out of a "20ml" you could use a reservoir which can hold 10ml and just use the overrun. That way it can not split unevenly accidentally.
I was thinking the exact same thing! Make it go through a tube on the side of the tank raised by the exact amount and you're good without spills
@@AlxM96 Isaac Newton's water clock worked this way.
This seriously just made me understand the part of computers that I could never quite grasp. 35 years of not understanding _why_ the gate system that computers use works, all answered in sixteen and a half minutes. And now that I understand, I can hardly believe I didn't before.
I honestly feel that my life is about to get way easier, thank you for that
I even just understood the concept of 1 and 0 bits, very awesome way of connecting the digital to the physical world
Yeah it's why I took a bunch of computer architecture classes and stuff in college. I really wanted to understand how things work all the way down. It's really fascinating.
Spot on this is exactly how you are tau in college, water explains the flow of current through faucets,, the water is there potentially but until you draw it, flow cannot occur same with electricity and logic gate's, in this case it shows both the flow of electrons and the logical outcomes 👍

This could turn into a crazy puzzle in a game in some ancient temple dedicated to some advanced people to open a door.
Informaticus (2003) had stuff like this. It's from a series of german educational point&click adventures, each focused on a different natural science. In Informaticus you were part of an archeological team who uncovers a lost civilization with knowledge on Logic/Computer Science. While I don't remember a water-powered computer, there was one puzzle that used crystal skulls as optic logic gates. Another puzzle had you program a robot to traverse a 2D labyrinth and there was also Conway's Game Of Life in it.

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

@@benoliver5593 yep. Schools, colleges and Universities sucks. Books are super boring. Experiments are Cool and Informative.

I used to do that on my Celeron. lol
@@electronash Would have thought that would be a 1994 Pentium.
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.
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.
Bruh that "Wet Inside" name was on point
Yes right?! 😂
Charles Babbage would be proud of this I reckon. If Babbage's computers have a steampunk vibe then this must be aquapunk.
Ada Lovelace would probably be able to figure out the decimal input.
your ability to clarify complex subjects is unparalleled!
You can do an ancillary video about fluidics. The military actually built control systems with complex logic gates that operated in line with hydraulic fluid to perform ratio, multiplication and division operations that resulted in dynamic control surfaces that adjusted force output based upon input parameters like airspeed, inertial forces and pilot input. These were early attempts at making logic based control systems that would be immune to EMP in nuclear war. What they looked like was tall stacks of thin steel plates with channels cut in them, separated by gaskets, where the inputs and outputs where holes passing into adjacent plates on one side or the other. The whole thing was filled with hydraulic fluid at pressure, and the flow thru the various inputs controlled by valves and regulators, with the flow either resulting in greater or lesser hydraulic flow to the control surfaces.
Oh my gosh. I saw the photo you posted and was like “huh that looks like a logic gate of some kind.”
Same here :D
I mean if it's a computer how else can you manipulate bits
@@Krokodil986 They meant before the video came out, some RUclipsrs post teaser images on sites like Twitter, so without context that it's a water computer, just seeing the picture they thought it looked like logic gates.

"Someone must be slowing the system down mining for bitcoin" I almost lost my food on that one with an audible laugh
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.

The splitter portion of the tubing could be simplified as another container without a syphon that would overflow when a value of 2 was added due to its max capacity it can keep a hold of being a value of 1 letting the excess value of 1 pass thru as it subtracts the cap amount it can keep a hold of maybe having a valve to reset the the exclusionary aspect of the described container for the next test kind of a clear function if you will
