The Memory of Water

first of all, make your're are game bydlo.

having said that, Babbage designed his's is computer (he didn't actually make it, I'm not sure if technology of the time would allow that) with rigid physics for the same reason most of mechanical engineering is based on rigid physics: it's a lot simpler. compare the complexity of fluid dynamics calculations with relative traditional Newtonian stuff. or check out how hard it is to make realistic 3D simulation of water - there's a reason it looks weird in older games.

This is pretty cool.

It is easier to transmit water flow than mechanical action. Just connect two separate places with a pipe, like you do with electric wire.

>>4
'transmitting flow' is not enough for logic. you need some form of negation

>>5
There are numerous threshold mechanisms, like pressure cooker releasing vapor on pressure threshold, or water overflowing past certain precise accumulation. For example, multi-level barrel could serve as accumulator, if each level's bottom opens when certain pressure is reached.

Nope. It is based on it, because you cant use liquid to build an airplane or a bridge (unless it is a floating bridge). But water clock was invented long before usual mechanical clock.

water clock is easier to make than a mechanical one, but a water logic gate is not

>>8
the gate that you turn the water clock up to

or

the gate that you turn the water clock down

I've found that adding some wire to each side of the water clock (as well as any extra parts you might be needing) is the most efficient way to make a water clock. I've tried using a single wire wire gauge, but have to use 2 for a simple water clock.


Step 1. Measure the length of the water channel/logic gate from your computer and subtract it from the actual water clock gauge.

Step 2. Measure (at the bottom left) the length of the lead for the water channel/logic gate.

Step 3. Divide the difference between the length of the lead for the water channel/logic gate and the length of the actual water clock gate (by adding the length of the wire gauge and the actual length of the water clock gauge) by 2 to make the actual water clock length.

Step 4. Attach the two wires

Fluid based computers should be immune to EMP explosion.

Although they do sell personal whole home EMP shields: https://empshield.com/

The Worlds First Whole Home EMP Protection Device

doubt it would protect from real nuclear bomb.

still sounds like a snake oil
"The EMP Shield can see and protect all the electronics and equipment connected to your electrical system. This is accomplished by shunting (shorting) the over voltage coming in from the Grid and the voltage surges that are collected within you home. Whether the electrons are collected in the home or attempt to come into the electrical system from outside the home, the EMP will see the surge and shield your electrical system, smart meter, and all devices plugged into your homes system. The EMP Shield reacts in less than 1 billionth of a second. Since the shunting is completed incredibly fast, the over voltage is drained away from the equipment before the voltage can rise high enough to damage any equipment. We call this new technology SightSpeed™"



doubt it could protect even from prankers with EMP gun.

It's just a surge protector. The real danger with EMP is current spikes induced within components.
