How does a resistive sheet computer work?
Just a quick note for now.
Resistive sheets belong to a category of analog
computing called network analyzers.
In the same vein (pun intended)... how would
fluidic computers
stack up? Digital? Analog? Mixed?
Fluidics (or fluid logic) can have both analog
and digital processes. You can perform boolean
operations, but you also can have fluid amplifers.
Hi
An interesting side note. The power steering of your
auto is an example of an analog fluid amplifier.
