This Mechanical, 3D-Printed Entabulator Is An Amazing Tribute To The Power Of Clockwork
As a lover of all things mechanical I'm awe of Chris Fenton's Entabulator. Using an old book on mechanical loom-making, a 3D printer, and some serious patience he engineered a computer that can read a program off of punch cards and, in this case, calculate the Fibonacci sequence. The machine runs using a hand crank (Fenton notes you can overclock it by cranking faster) and it is quite finicky but also quite beautiful in its own way.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/HSeeu4puZmA/
