The K'nuter - K'NEX Computer

This is one component of a simple mechanical computer--a full adder--comprised entirely of K'NEX parts and no electronic components. A memory bank as well as an instruction decoder, a program counter, and other key computer components is soon to follow, provided that I can get my hands on some more parts (and a larger space to house the machine).
----------
NOTE: This project is now on indefinite hold as I no longer have the funding to complete it. I appreciate all the wonderful support my viewers have provided; hopefully some day we can show K'Nex how much people care about this effort and regain their support to build the first full K'NEX computer.
----------
I have received a tremendous response from many viewers, and I just want to say thank you for everyone's comments.
This project is very important to me as it is part of a long-term personal goal to create a macroscopic realization of some of the intricacies that comprise a modern computer. My hope is that in doing so, I can not only satisfy my own interests but also spark an interest in many young people by providing an understanding of what's actually going on inside these devices we use every day.
If you are interested in seeing more, you can do your part by spreading the word. As simple as it sounds, even just telling your friends about the project can be a huge help: you never know when the right person is going to hear about it and lend a helping hand.
As of now, I have detailed plans for an entire simple CPU capable of running an 8-bit instruction set (not unlike some of the first microprocessors). This will take a LOT of time, but it is a goal that is completely realizable with the right amount of help.
I very much want this to be an open-source project because I know that closed-door operations often suffer not only from a lack of momentum but more importantly a lack of external intuition. Any assistance is always greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Dan
Thanks, everyone, for the humorous comments. I know it's been a long time since I've posted. Here's the update on this project:
In 2018, I put together plans for a full 12-bit computer based on the old PDP-8 architecture, capable of running VERY simple programs (with a maximum of 64 instructions) like finding the Nth number in a Fibonacci series. I also built prototype parts for the new mechanical logic required to make it all work. The goal would be to educate folks about how computers work in a fun, interactive way-and to push folks to think BIG (pun intended).
Here's the roadblock: the machine would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, require several people to help build it and maintain it, and require a truly MASSIVE space (think warehouse, not a basement). It'll be a heavy lift to get to that point. I'm still weighing options, but a good start is that K'nex has said they will be able to support the logistics of providing the 15,000 motors required.
In the meantime, if you're interested in seeing videos explaining these plans, including demos of the prototype components and how the logic works, give me a thumbs up, and I'll see if I can find the time to make that happen.

Although this machine looks complicated, it's real purpose should allow you to realize computers work on fundamental, universal concepts. In other words, even if you don't understand what is going on, a computer *CAN* be created simply using plastic (or wood, or brass, etc.) You could essentially take this machine back 100 or 1 Million years to teach "digital logic." Just replace plastic with metal and motors with running water. Computers are nothing other than these components, miniaturized. The *fundamental* difference between this and your iPhone is size.

The computer on which you are watching this video has hundreds of these machines on a tiny chip.
more like hundreds of thousands.
thecooldude9999 It's more like billions actually.
Zach Weibel More like thousands. This is a full adder, but your "billions" number is an actual transistor count. There's no good way of knowing how many full adders Company X has put on their chip, but thousands wouldn't be an unreasonable guess. (Just think: any 64-bit adder in the logic would need 64 of these.)
For curiosity's sake, if you imagined that the entire chip consisted of nothing but adders, you could work backwards to figure out how many full adders would be on there....The full adder would probably be comprised of 9 gates. In CMOS logic, one of these gates probably contains 4 transistors. So we can figure that there would be 36 transistors per full adder (maybe plus a few depending on the implementation). So then on a chip with a billion transistors, you could fit 27 million of these full adders on it....But you wouldn't be able to do anything useful with it.
Yeah but this knex.
+Dan Ehrman Actual adders in almost all contemporary ALUs of processors (CPUs, GPUs, DSPs...) use some kind of parallel prefix tree adder (implemented as systolic or semi-systolic network), which is a different kind of topology than the (mechanical) carry ripple adder you're trying to build, except for some ultra low power & ultra small+slow µP/µC which still might use this very simple topology. Ok, a few others use carry skip or carry save adders, which is are even different topologies.

It's been 19 years since Y2K, I think... I havn't seen a working clock or day light since 99... So I built one out of K'Nex. I also built a generator, and sex robot too. It's not efficient, or comfortable, but it works. Tried eating them for food, but couldn't make that work. Had to make a K'Nex mouse trap. Ironically this was actually harder to make work than the sex robot. It must be worse up there than I thought if even the mice all died off. Having solved all of my immediate needs, I am now going about trying to build a computer. Hopefully, if I can simulate the crisis event, I can find out what happened up there, and maybe even a cure. Or maybe my own creation will kill me. It's not like I have anything else to live for. The sex bot and mice aren't companions. It's this or die alone...

I drive my family crazy, saying you can build a computer with tinker toys, but it's true, you prove it! Your video is the closest thing to what I did for a living back in the '70's, as a designer of MSI computers. I spent my full energy to build a 1-bit full adder out of gate and flip-flop chips. Put 10 of those together on a PC board, and you've got a computer. (I displayed the first Intelligent Terminal for Computek, displayed at FJCC-69 that way.) Then Silicon Valley put the functionality that you have there in that rack, into one chip, called it the "bit slice". Then they put the cpu into a chip, and I started working on multiprocessors. (Now I'm working on fabrics for cognitive information: brain-gears.blogspot.com.) Thank you for instigating that trip down memory lane...

Wow!
Where do i put the graphics card?
Oh man, I can only imagine how big of a fucking machine he'd have to build using these in order to get something similar to a graphics card.
(imagine one world trade center, like...that big, and that's probably an understatement)
Something that size would be almost (not) close to comparable to my GPU.
I have integrated graphics.
ZirrasElite it’s not possible.
ZirrasElite Actually, let's work that out. Let's say for the sake of argument, a typical transistor or the smallest element in a modern cpu is around 20nm (this year it should be half that for the smallest process node size, again simplification). We can roughly assume from the scale of the video given that a single gate made out of k'nex in this machine is roughly 25cm. Again, a bit of simplification here is needed because in most cases the actual transistor isn't as "boxy" as shown here, it's more or less "flat". So by simple division, 2.5 m x10^-2 / 2.0 x 10^-8 m is, again roughly, 1,275,000 times bigger in actual size.
Now, if we're talking graphics cards, a typical modern graphics cards usually has _billions_ of these types of elements. So uh, yeah, roughly multiply that by the scale factor of 1.2 million and well, you got your dimensions. It's literally a million times bigger XD
BOB.org we are also missing the speed, while it may be able to do complex calculations at that size even if you beefed the crap out of those motors electricity travels at something like 50 to 99 percent the speed of light. So we are talking about something that moves at way less than 1 percent the speed of light. Interesting as it is it would take a day for a single calculation. Idk im not an engineer what do i know
if I had the plans for this as a kid I would have spent all the hours to construct it and been the happiest one ever. Seriously, I hated it when constructing those rollercoasters only took a day. This has so much potential to teach kids.
Never seen this before! Right of the bat I’m impressed! I use to build at random things with this as a kid. To see them do math is mind blowing. Props from me man. I’m geeked out watching this.
Speechless....what an amazing machine.
I dont know what the fuck this dude talkin bout but the shit looks cool.

Pick up a copy of minecraft and you might learn a thing or two about logic gates.
Only one million views in so long? This is brilliant beyond words. Congratulations :)
Just under 10 minutes. It's like you're trying to make it enjoyable to watch instead of making us watch a random ad.
Props to you.
Also, 999k views, 1M soon!
*girls want him*
*guys wanna be him*
idk im a guy and i want him
the all mighty pizza you're just gonna assume guys wont want him either 😉
Some girls like money, he probably got a good job cause of computers n' shit

uhh I'm not sure why that happened
meh.

Upgrade, buddy XD
Love it - beautiful piece of engineering!
The most amazing part of this is that I am watching a video of a mechanical, simple adding machine....ON A FREAKING LAPTOP COMPUTER lol!!!! And I'm TOTALLY enamored with it!!! Goes to show how much we take our tech for granted.
Mm, yeah. I know some of these words
Bobby Trill is that from Goodburger?
It means that I get 80 percent of the money you make and you get the other 20
I'm gonna take out ONE piece and drive you insane trying to find which one. Ha ha!
The Tyttuutface, he'll figure it out in thirteen seconds, tops. It's so simple.
The Tyttuutface pointless. He'd find it faster then it took you to take out. Due to what is no longer moving that should be.
depending on what you take out it might not even matter
You don't have to remove a critical component to affect the machine. If you took a few of the parts rods out of the back of the machine could collapse under the weight of itself.
Spaceman Rick "Simple"
who else remembers playing with these for ages in primary school
Yeah I had my own k’nuter computer in school too
Why have I not seen this until now, this is awesome! Great job dude!
I used to make stick figures
Ares5933 shit I still make stick figures and eat glue
You obviously have mor knowledge than this dude who calls a processor a computer.
😂 lol "not a cat person"
"And tomorrow we will make a fully functional atom collide!"

Next video: *i create the basilisk with sticks and grass clippings*
Next video: I play Monster Hunter World using only tic tacs, a feather duster, and a jar of peanut butter.
Next Video: I run crisis with a box of used tissues, some nail clippings, and the full Shakespeare series.
i create quantum computer using rock and stick and a 30 year old chicken nugget under the fridge
Hopefully by 2020 we can run CS:GO on this PC
But can it run crisis?

Writing from 2020. He probably got that working with all the extra lockdown time!
"that paddle is Turing"
OHOHO I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
Wait, did this pass the 1-1 Turing test?
/Me: When you watch a video so you can feel smart but it just makes you feel dumb
That is AWESOME man! I love physical analogies for invisible stuff like how computers work! Kudos man!
This was made in 2011. What will it be like in 2019?
Able to add a 4-bit number...if we're lucky.
Superior to Turing GPUs
It's already 2019 bro
When you gonna bring out the k phone?
Not useful since it's going to be the size of a refrigerator.
More like kempire state building
This is the real way to watch porn.
You mean the real way to sin like a heretic?
Narcissism Incarnate dude really people don't care you know how many people beat their meat you know religious children go down the muddy highway to please the great god because he somehow doesn't see that
Dr. ChingChung no thanks I'm not telling people to kill themselves or how you put it"kill ur self" I have a strong disagreement with somebody else which does not concern about you in any way you can have a disagreement but saying "kill ur self" isn't a discussion it's a was of saying "I can't have a disagreement with somebody without getting triggered" so with that being said thanks for understanding you're stupidity no disrespect
Jesse DuFaux I have no idea back then maybe if it was someone dick but fist I think I would be seen as a really kinky night
I don't know what you're trying to say Nicky, but I have my unreasonably high standards and I'm going to completely overreact in the worst way possible for the rest of my life.
I'm equal parts impressed and surprised by the apparent complexity of this design...
A full adder consists of only 5 logic gates, and from things I determined earlier you can construct that from roughly 10 transistors...
Your machine is exceptionally large for that.
Perhaps it HAS to be, but it still surprises me that it would need to be that large, even considering what it's made of...
That’s awesome. As a beginning amateur, my knowledge is limited but this looks incredible!
indeed
