Charles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. Difference Engine No. 2, built faithfully to the original drawings, consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long.

Imagine the things this man would be able to do if he had access to modern technologies. Truly a genius of his time.
Yup
More knowledge is hidden
Nothing
He would be an idiot then.
The machine would have been built had he had 3D printers, metal casting and machining methods, etc.
The complexity of this machine is beautiful.
In order to appreciate today's technology it is imperative to appreciate and understand the genius that paved the road of today's inventions.
I love it how the machine accidentally produces the image of double helix when working.
I know right? It's one of those reoccurring designs in nature.
Kinda feels like unfurling of a DNA before replication
I'm not so sure anything about this machine is accidental 🤯
That machine fascinates me! It's a shame he never got to see it. Beautiful!
Something in my soul just lit up when I seen this thing functioning
The drawings and the entire plan was a program by itself, and it seems Babbage never got to "compile" it. It seems he had it all working perfectly in his head.
Even today, that is one impressive piece of technology!
And the ancient Greeks had the Antikythera device. Truly, we are all debtors to those who have gone on before.
It makes you wonder what the ancients really did know and how much knowledge has either been lost, or even deliberately suppressed.
Nope
Similar to the great genius Ramanujan who died so young and also Abel. We have missed out on geniuses like them and Babbage, they would have revolutionized our world. True geniuses, period.
The novel "the Difference Engine" by Gibson/Sterling imagines an alternate history in which Babbage realises his Analytical Engine which in turn enables an entirely different future. Published in 1990 I recall eagerly awaiting the release of this book, was not disappointed.
One of the greatest minds to have ever lived.
This guy is a true genius
Have read about differential engine and analytical engine during first year of engineering and had seen them in pics only. While watching this video seeing these engines working I feel fascinated and the moment is really mesmerising with feel of gratitude for the Charles Babbage whose genius always inspired me. Earth has been made beautiful by great souls.
He was probably smart enough to know that his discovery is mind-blowing but far behind the time that people would understand
Yeah, as if the general public understand how computers work today...
That is one of the coolest things I have ever watched operate. Thank you for sharing this!
..But does it have a Skyrim port yet?
his name can not be forgotten in the world book of history
Man he sure knew a lot of guys named Charles

Ok but can it run crysis
NOPE
Yep
Yes but only 800 x 600
8k uhd quality your eyes would get fked if you use this machines full potential
Underrated comment
The mechanism reminds me a lot of the Curta hand-held mechanical calculator (aka: The Peppermill). They were used a lot by sports car rallyists.
And by land surveyors
That machine is mesmerizing and inspiring, shoutout to that nathan fellow who commissioned it!
this guy is the inventor of the computer.
No lie this is far more impressive than an i9 processor
It's impressive only if you understand it
Or ryzen 9
I wish there was a video following it working an actual problem.
If only the government accept those ideas, we would have some real Steampunk stuff on our life right now
@apollw Quite so, but im curious on how humanity develop by using such technology as their base foundation
@apollw it took 100 years to finally develop a computer. and first computer was no less better than analytical engine.
@apollw First planes had no computers in them, though.
Planes up until the 1950's had no computers to speak of.
Even the earliest autopilots were just gyroscope-driven hydraulic systems.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Just read about him in Walter Isaacson's book innovators. I had to see it in action, and it's more impressive than I imagined.
شكراً لك يا تشارلز بابيج. 🙏
If Babbage was allowed to finish this project, we would have a steampunk world now :D
if only the government helped him with his work, we would probably be much farther technologically.
Really was an era of Charles
It is like a magic...woww
Mind blowing!
But can it run Crysis?
lol I think that if this machine was adopted, and people continued to improve on mechanical computers, it could've reached 1950's levels of computing before the old tube computers were ever invented.
I see no reason to think that it couldn't be used to play some simple games. Not video games, but some kind of geared computer controlled game, anyways.
Actually, the same kind of technology was used in US Navy's mechanical fire control computers which would calculate fire solutions and even direct the guns at their targets in real time. There's a 1953 Navy training film on RUclips showing how its parts worked -- ruclips.net/video/gwf5mAlI7Ug/видео.html .
Geez people these days only think of games. Computers were originally intended as calculators not some gaming machine.
@@valdomerotimoteo4335 Games have helped us develop technology through the years, it gives us reason to produce and fund development at large scale, when everyone is using the technology. Very similar, are computer vision and gaming hardware. The architecture is massively parallel to run games, and while games are somewhat a toy or fun thing. Our modern computers are amazing aren't they?
Indeed they were *designed* for calculations, but have you ever wonder why people like Ada so much? That's because she realized much more could be done. Things far more interesting than mere calculations. Really, I struggle to understand why you would be more interested in a banal calculation than something more involved, like a game which requires many calculations on top complex logic.
@@valdomerotimoteo4335 he says that... on a computer
This is really interesting , how we are working now

Incredible it's amazing, i'm in love with it
Beautiful
Hexadecimal and binary coding?
This is something like sci-fi mechanical machine👌👌
Very good history Computer 👏👏💯💯

i wana know how it works like step by step
fascinating, a heaven for the esoteric people
How does machine is calculating the sums
Can it run cyberpunk 2077 without bugs and glitches?
stunning.
The very 1st sentence is wrong. Babbage wasn't an only child: he had 2 brothers who died in childhood, plus a sister (Mary Ann) who outlived him.
In the 1800s the British Empire had resources the world had never seen, and rarely truly seen since. A posthumous pox on any and all civil/Imperial servants who did not fund Babbage. It would have been a drop in the ocean. We would be on a better timeline were it not for them. Or certainly, at the very least, an ironically different timeline.
My life of godson of man and my theory s of reality let's us life live perfect.
3:50 freaking cool
But Can it run crisis?
I love Charles Bubbage♥️
The inventor of computers
No mention of Ada Lovelace?
Very nice 👍 video 👌 good job
How much did it cost to make?
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a LOT of volunteer work, but it still had to be astonishingly expensive, even if you don't include man-hours of work.
And Ada Lovelace took credit for his achievement.
no she didn’t lol? ada took credit for the idea of computers BEYOND calculations while he took credit for his own creations
@@marishkaaaa-r0p Try again, but without the lies.
@@satouhikou1103 oh so u don’t know history?
@@marishkaaaa-r0p Project harder.
ada lovelace knows for programming in computer she was the first lady programmer
This looks nothing like the computer we used today.
And Ada Lovelace is not the first programmer. It's Charles Babbage
charles made the computer, ada programmed it to be more
How did the build that crank shaft machine, that seems more work of hardware intricacies in comparision to what results it offers 💀😂✌
Helpfull
Can it run Crysis?
Good
Sweet!
Apparently that man fell through a Mandela portal from a steam punk world.
Kind of looks like a DNA sequence when it's running

Genius
Who invented the computer I am using right now?
Me
@@Moodboard39 who is me?
The first computer was built by the German Wilhelm Schickard in 1623. It worked and it could calculate numbers until 999.999. He was a friend of the famous astronomer Johannes Kepler.
The first computer was the human hand. Fully digital in the literal sense.
Some had base five ( unhappy experience with a cave bear).
Others had base 10.
But you needed 2 with a (usually) optically read modem to a functioning cerebral circuit.
Not really. Wasn't turing complete, which the analytical engine was.
WOW AMAZING 😅
lmagine playing doom with this machine.
so many sacrifices for evolution
Awesome
jo vidite tohle už snad v 8 stol našeho letopočtu pak vidite hodiny ap odobně tak se každý zasměje pa kvidite orloj a podobně - ale spíše k čemu toto že? :D to bylo zapotřebí až později na čem koumal pan babage je jasné - zavadějí se kasy tohoto typu v té době už počítače jsou a pak je zapotřebí studiní material aby jste mohli ukazat a prokazat jak věci funguji v rámci logiky a mechaniky

Error free? Integers yes, but nonintegers contains errors and these adds up quickly, making this device almost useless. It has to be restarted very often, to keep the accumulated error small. By restarting I mean, entering fresh, correct, rounded numbers, calculated by hand.
Numerical example: using six decimals, the smallest constant has an error of half a millionth. This doubles for each turn of the crank.
@JA's Media Studio I disagree. There where a lot of smart people. They had logarithms, they had Briggs.

Calculators or computers? 🙄
Says computer
Does look more like a calculator

So basically a really big calculator lol...very impressive don't get me wrong....but I just can't understand how the first calculator was created in the mid 1600s and then it took almost 160 years just to make something a little better and WAY bigger??
Babbage couldn't afford it back then, and it is not "way bigger", that's just the size Babbage planned to be, I guess this model is even smaller
mid 1800s**
It wasn't merely slightly better. Pascal's calculator could only do very simple additions and substractions. The analytical machine, meanwhile, was designed as a full blown turing complete programmable computer that could do complex calculations and algorithms.
