CHM Exhibition "Revolution: The First 2000 Years of Computing"
Charles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. Difference Engine No. 2, built faithfully to the original drawings, consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long.

Have read about differential engine and analytical engine during first year of engineering and had seen them in pics only. While watching this video seeing these engines working I feel fascinated and the moment is really mesmerising with feel of gratitude for the Charles Babbage whose genius always inspired me. Earth has been made beautiful by great souls.

@franciscovarela7127 11 ай бұрын

The novel "the Difference Engine" by Gibson/Sterling imagines an alternate history in which Babbage realises his Analytical Engine which in turn enables an entirely different future. Published in 1990 I recall eagerly awaiting the release of this book, was not disappointed.

But can it run Crysis? lol I think that if this machine was adopted, and people continued to improve on mechanical computers, it could've reached 1950's levels of computing before the old tube computers were ever invented. I see no reason to think that it couldn't be used to play some simple games. Not video games, but some kind of geared computer controlled game, anyways.

@davidwise1302 5 жыл бұрын

Actually, the same kind of technology was used in US Navy's mechanical fire control computers which would calculate fire solutions and even direct the guns at their targets in real time. There's a 1953 Navy training film on KZfaq showing how its parts worked -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nd2WaNBy0a-bhZs.html .

Indeed they were *designed* for calculations, but have you ever wonder why people like Ada so much? That's because she realized much more could be done. Things far more interesting than mere calculations. Really, I struggle to understand why you would be more interested in a banal calculation than something more involved, like a game which requires many calculations on top complex logic.

In the 1800s the British Empire had resources the world had never seen, and rarely truly seen since. A posthumous pox on any and all civil/Imperial servants who did not fund Babbage. It would have been a drop in the ocean. We would be on a better timeline were it not for them. Or certainly, at the very least, an ironically different timeline.

Error free? Integers yes, but nonintegers contains errors and these adds up quickly, making this device almost useless. It has to be restarted very often, to keep the accumulated error small. By restarting I mean, entering fresh, correct, rounded numbers, calculated by hand. Numerical example: using six decimals, the smallest constant has an error of half a millionth. This doubles for each turn of the crank.
