Fully functional paper computer with logic gates how do

>>546097
You have to be the transistor. Be the on-state when appropriate and off-state when that's appropriate. You're gonna have to move really fast to compete with Intel. Good luck

>>546097
Reading up on rod logic is probably your best bet. see e.g. https://anthony-zhang.me/blog/rod-logic/

What will be the energy source? A fully functional computer made out of paper powered by wind would be pretty cool.

Metal paper, to use you would have too

>>548199
so aluminum foil?

>>546097
depens on what a fully functional paper computer is to you
Also on what materials you allow yourself to use

>>548205
Not that anon, but I would like to be able to browse /po/ with it. It only seems right.

You could tape a bunch of paper to the outside of your computer. Then at least you would have the illusion of a paper computer.

>>548281
In that case you need a lot of space and a lot of money.

It seems like a better idea to try making that in lego.

anyone wanna buy keks?

Marble logic would be far easier than rod logic for paper - e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhGwtfOyN2c

Make it Turing Complete

>>550576
Majestic. Have you instructions for this?

There is conductive ink.. it is theroetically possible.

>>550576
holy shit you're a smart funky monkey

You could make tubes and blow air through them, some sort of air pressure transistor seems not so hard to invent, however this would be an extremely finicky system, so probably wouldn't work in practice.

>>546097
That's amazing

Like this.

I dare you to find me one thread on 4chan superior to this one. You literally can't.

First step is to get a few dozen acres of land.

is this the oldest thread on 4chan rn?

It's the best thread

Too late OP paper computer was a hundred years ago

>>553190
What a qt

>>548109
Why the fuck are you telling him to go to fuckin /k/?

>>553190
she's not made of paper tho??

I'm pleased to finally point you towards real digital logic done with papercraft: https://youtu.be/yvANcR4mQ7M and http://hackaday.com/?p=261310

I really wish I had the time and money to create a full-blown mechanical computer with modern technology. Maybe MEMS so you could make the pieces tiny and fit enough of them to run rudimentary programs.

>>553922
Holy shit

This is most likely the oldest thread on 4chan right now

Before the transistor was invented they used mechanical valves as the on and off switches. However each of those proto transistors was the size of a light bulb and because of many reasons they would break. For example, insects would get in the valves and fuck up shit which is how the bugs term came to take a place in computers. So you would have to make mechanical systems with paper and that's something very fuckig hard. While theorically possible, there would be all kinds of problems and for every 5 minutes you play with the computer there'd be 5 days of maintenance. Besides it would be so big you'd need the volume of an entire living room just to build it.

>>555279
nice

>>555279
Even now we need Valve for playing computer games and there are still bugs.

>>555546
god damn, nice

>>555546
Awesome

>>546097
damn man i was 6 in the early 90s, and I was into paper crafts. One idea I had was a paper and portable keyboard with a screen. I was ahead of the time but barely out of diapers to do anything about it lol

>>546097
You'll probably need /g/ in here. And holy shit this board is so dead

What about a mechanical computer?
