I'm wondering, what happens if you accidentally bypass the value that you needed to set a digit to, and you try to back track the digit? Will the borrow (As spinning the wheel backwards is subtraction) propagate through the machine?
+thiagoT5's Lego Technic Creations Yes, but I think your solution is better regarding the weigh of ratchet, mine solution is sensible to the gravity. I have to rework a bit it.

There is a problem with this calculator. If you try to add 99999 and 1 it will jam the wheels haha. Well, maybe not on this Lego version, but it did on the 1642 original!
+February It is the problem of all mechanical device with 5 digits. Mine as 6 but the pascaline mechanism enable to have lot of carry. But If I add 999 999 plus 1, as I have not enough digit, I will make a carry overflow.
Perfect! Carry mechanisms are extremely subtle. Some books even question whether Pascal's original machines worked reliably. Your mechanism seems to work very reliably. My greatest respect! Pascal's mechanism has two general disadvantages: 1. You can only add, subtraction requires complements. 2. You cannot add two digits simultaneously. Because of these disadvantages, I decided to build a mechanical calculator with a continuous carry mechanism, see ruclips.net/video/9a_us8rMczw/видео.html . I am very curious whether you succeed in building a multiplication unit. The "Part 1" in the header indicates that there will be some more parts. Hopefully, there will be many of them! Best regards, Thomas
One more very interesting mechanism from you! Waiting for the next parts!
Simple and amazing!
this would be perfect for a GBC ball counter!
I wouldn't call it a calculator but it is very simple, inside and out, and looks great.
It can be used as one.
It’s just not practical
If this is just the first, I can't wait to see the rest! Fantastic work :)
It was just today that i was thinking 'when would he upload a clever mechanism again' and you did! :D
Such an amazing and complicated mechanism! I love it!
What was the music in the background?
Great one.. I just started with technic LEGOs . This is a good inspiration for sure. thank you
you are an Genius!!!
*a genius
And yes he is VERY smart
how I can build this?
With lego

No it runs only in one way because of ratchet.
If you rotate in the other directon it does subtraction?
Daniel de Lizaur this is not the calculator but it is the carry mechanism read the title
really cool! that's a very smart way of doing it :)
well done! and welcome to the club of Pascaline makers =)
My first Pascaline model was inspired by a prototype of yours.
+thiagoT5's Lego Technic Creations Yes, I reproduced your system, to then modify the system of ratchet.
+Nico71's Lego Technic Creations yes, you succeed in eliminating the non-technic parts in the ratchet!
+thiagoT5's Lego Technic Creations Yes, but I think your solution is better regarding the weigh of ratchet, mine solution is sensible to the gravity. I have to rework a bit it.
Nicely built counter. Thanks for the interresting thiagot5 channel reference.
+Jan Dvořák Yes, it was a great guy !
+Nico71's Lego Technic Creations "it" XD
Ooohhh, this is gonna be great! :D
Great idea!
a series! this is gonna be good.
KEvron
+KEvronista I wikll try too :)
Hi Nico. If your working on a mechanical calculator, you might find inspiration in the Curta machine :)
+iMacGeekDK Thank you but this is completely different, curta machine use some special gearing an traveling slide.
Merci de m'avoir répondu et a une prochaine vidéo!
AWESOME! what lighting and background do you use?
+Epicpiggy Hello, natural lighting from two source (right and top), and simple white gray background bought in a fabric material store, watch the article about my installation of my blog : www.nico71.fr/workplace-collection-sorting/
Ok thanks a bunch this will help my videos!
very , very nice
very well done !
good thing they now have 20-teeth gears :)
+akapype For some years ago now :)
Awesome video :)
Je ai bien aimé ta Honda civic eg hatchback, comme futur projet essaye de faire une copie en lego de ta Honda crossrunner!
+Lukaz Le corff sympa, c'est un de mes projets aussi :)
put it on the GBC
I thought the design looked simple from the outside ... until I saw the inside :-)
+DesignJunkie58 And you have not anything yet ;)
+Nico71's Lego Technic Creations i can only say "wow" to this
how to make it?
+jomin398 I will make a pdf for that :)
cool!

Nico71' are you french?
+Lukaz Le Corff Yep, from Haute Savoie, near Geneva.
I don't get it, whats so speciall?
It just add's numbers, I tought it is a rral calculator, what's actually not so hard, for + at least :D
Filmemacher What?
Moi de la région parisienne à côté d evry
Great! I think the videos could use a little personality (you) rather than text on the screen. Good job.
+Blake Lambert Yes but I am not confortable with be on camera and speaking english. Prefer that, despite the fact is not good as you propose.
That's alright. Speak your language and put the translation in text.
+Blake Lambert That would be the same as the actual video, hum ?
It would add personality.
5th why do you never talk?
