The analog computer of decades-gone-by is something many of us younger engineers never got the chance to experience first hand. It’s pretty much a case of reading about them on these fine pag… ...

[Janis Alnis] wanted to build an analog computer circuit and bought some multiplier chips. The first attempt used apparently fake chips that were prone to overheating. He was able to get it to work… ...

An analog computer is one that uses constantly changing entities such as mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and so on. In other words, an analog computer works by using mechanical means ...

In 1901 a device called the Antikythera Mechanism was found in a shipwreck, and after extensive study, it was determined that ...

What you’ll learn: Anabrid’s open-source “THAT” Analog Computer is available for around $500, finally putting analogue computing within reach of engineers, startups, small businesses, high ...

This new analog computer represents a breakthrough in how scientists understand superconductivity and its merits. The physics world is, unfortunately, full of jargon. So, what does analog computing ...

In the first of three parts, Andy hypothesizes that the K2-W Analog Computer Op Amp’s design has some unrevealed mad science in its input-stage design. 1. K2-W Op Amp schematic from Bob Pease ...

The Antikythera Analog Computer Estimated to be at least 2,000 years old and discovered in 1901, this is the largest gear (5.5") in the analog device found in the Antikythera Roman-era shipwreck.

There are many different schemes for making quantum computers work (most of them evil). But they pretty much all fall into two categories. In most labs, researchers work on what could be called a ...

Figured I'd have a shot of fixing something getting ideas from all the people who visit Ars :eng101: At the parish I used to work at (and still help out at), there's a weekly bingo. In 1 room ...
