This is a picture of a computer.
Remarkable, isn’t it?
These wooden gears have been laser cut with precise specifications as to fit just right.
These intricate clockwork stands at one meter tall:
I’ve been working on this for a while now. Its a wooden computer that computes continuous self-similar fractals. I’ll post the working model of a general computer implemented in gears as soon as I get some laser cutter time to complete the counter/comparator unit. Anyway, here is some pictures of the core assembly.
The final version of the core will stand over two meters tall and is one of three subunits that preform calculations, logic operations, and store/load values.
Below is the disk drive. It literally turns disks with lookup tables, each with a 96 bit capacity. The disks are not shown here.
WOW!
