This video is the most mind-blowing video I have ever seen in my life. It is absolutely amazing the science that have gone into creating this. Best video ever hands down.
True, but on a physical/analog level, there technically isn't any such a thing as pure volatile or pure non-volatile memory. I compared this piece of memory to 'RAM' since that's basically how it was used back in the day, but it was also used for long-term storage in some cases as well, so it's hard to give it a strict classification.
The terms RAM & ROM only signal intention, not characteristic or function. In several systems RAM has been used as ROM. You could hardly classify a memory as ROM when you can write without care, but just one read will erase its content.
Must have been a nightmare to assemble
Well it took a time and some patient. This memory unit was made by hands, nobody make memory in that way now.
Even worse : repairing it
Well, it's still possible to assemble by hand.
Try to do that with modern chips (:
Wow that sounds super expensive considering the inflation of money over time.
This is my favorite Robert Elder Software short. I do like your long form content as well.
This is my favorite comment.

Considering significant advancements like these, it is easy to understand why, or at least a popular reason, people become so obsessed with war.
The circuit that reads this memory must be really sensitive.
A nice and concise explanation of ferrite core memory :)
This is FASCINATING
But yet now, 8 MILLION bits... is just a measly megabyte.
This is the exact kind of memory that allowed the Apollo space station to go to the moon
We're told it's the most important achievement of mankind but not important to lose all the proof .
Amazing
Looks like it needs a few spritzes of isopropanol alcohol.
Awesome ....
How does that work when generally anything conductive spreads the electrics. Mind blowing
I think the cores have a protective coating on em
The copper wire likely has an enamel coating.
Will this work on my gaming computer?
Will your OS work with only a few kilobytes of memory?
@@kamrynrist60490.5 kilobytes*
@@kamrynrist6049 If a byte is 8 bits, then it's only half a kilobyte.

ok👍
probably from 1970 lol
wow amazing, can you identify the manufacturer?
I don't know who the manufacturer was, but it supposedly came from a 'Saratov 2' which was a clone of the western PDP8 computer.
Imagine that, that did it manually by hand!
Ram is not non-volatile.

@@RobertElderSoftware eh, fair.
sram is non-volatile, but it's mostly used in CPU caches

So that has a magnetic memory message…from a sequence?
