I wonder how much computing equipment you could make from home-made
triodes?
Even a simple (say 4-bit) adder would be pretty impressive.
In power as well.
It'd be darn-near EMP-proof, though. :-)
Hi
I thought I might clarify what equipment I had.
First it is not digital, it is an analog computer. Each
tube calculates to about two decimal digits making
each tube worth about 20 or so TTL equivalent.
