For several years, [Jim] has wanted to construct a fully-mechanical universal Turing machine. Without the help of any electronic circuits or electrical input, his goal was to build the machine usin… ...

Davey’s description of the machine almost makes your head spin a tiny bit, but after watching the video above, it’ll make far more sense: Although this Turing machine is controlled by a ...

Aside from the Turing Test, Alan Turing invented his Machine, a "tape-based" system for digital computing. The machines have always been thought of as a "thought experiment" but on crazy man ...

It might be useless and kind of harsh looking, but this all-mechanical Turing machine is a great exercise in geekdom. ... It has up to 5 input symbols that allow for 10 "states." ...
