  • try adding a control to the ball-release mechanism !! and you are done !! xD

    cause the balls are dropping while the previous one is still doing the calculation =D

  • Way cool contraption!

  • Simple, but genious ;)

  • Amazing.

  • The mechanism lets the balls in too fast! It doesn't fully tick over before it starts adding ones and two again.

    Still awesome despite that!

  • cool! :D

  • Wow, random generator without random generator =D

  • That's not random at all. It's counting by ones in binary.

  • awesome! very nice

  • It skipped 4 and went from 3 to 5. I don't know if any other numbers skip, probably since the pattern repeats.

  • it did not skip to my eye, just another ball landed at the same time

  • it does skip

  • it did not, only one ball is supposed to be in at a time. so when another goes, it appears that it has skiped.

  • thats cool you just add togeather what numbers have colors next to them

  • Amazing!

    How about a Mr. Turing machine for your next project? :P

  • this is awsome, yust learned binary adders in school, this is freakin awsome!

  • No this is actually binary counting, the blue color means a 1 and when theres nothing it means 0. Add up all the numbers next to the blue dots and you get the number that was counted to.

    Only it goes a little too fast, when it's still working on 16 it counts to 17 already.

  • seriously, do not post something including material you dont really understand.

    never saw a binary watch? it uses the first 6 numbers of the power series of 2: 2^0= 1; 2^1= 2; 2^2= 4,...

    if you add a few of them together, you get every number to 60. thats exactly the same.

  • Great! 5 stars!

  • roflmao this guy msut have like....this meat thing in his ehad that  makes him smart omg :D

  • a brain? supercomputer? cybernetic data processing implants?

  • no no i mean something of mea that like makes him think and stuff

    man this guy even knows where to point at the right places....FAR OUT MAAAAN

    rofl

  • you. are. a. genius.

  • Wow, awesome.

  • wow

  • So cool! Must have taken ages to make!

  • this is fuckin epic, nice

  • hehe nice done^^

  • woao 10/5 :)

  • for any1 confused, binary is a base 2 number system. Our regular number system is base 10.

    For our base 10 number system, possable digits go from 0-9 (10 digits). In binary there are only 2 possable digits, 0 and 1.

    In our number system each increase from right to left hold 10 times the previous digit.

    431 is basically 400 + 30 + 1.

    For binary each digit from right to left doubles in its value. The number 1101 translates to 13, because

    1 1 1 1

    8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15.

    Hope is helps :)

  • woops, try

    431 is basically 400 + 30 + 1.

    For binary each digit from right to left doubles in its value. The number 1111 translates to 15, because

    1 1 1 1

    8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15.

  • couldn't you make this until a really high number?

  • like 1011 1101 to the 0011 power? (6751269)

  • it has to be a x2, that is how this machine adds

  • WOT awesome :D

  • oh, cool... 1+1=?

  • wouldnt you be able to create a computer that calculates with this?

  • This is how computers actually work - only the rotating things are transistors, and the marbles are pulses of electricity.

  • the question still remains. couldnt u make a computer to do this? lol

  • START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESORYS > CALCULATOR

    xD

    already been done

  • yeah or have google do it for you lol.

    google "answer to life the universe and everything".

  • 42

  • Yes, you can calculate everything that is calculatable with a physics engine such as phun (now, in practise it's not possible, since phun doesn't support an endless amount of memory etc.).

  • wow;p

  • cool

  • doesnt he need to add 64 and 128 to finish it

  • this one is 6 bit so it reset back to zero after 64. 7 bit will count up to 128..

  • WOW! This is AMAZING!!

  • jytfjhtfg

  • Right guys, basically this counts in binary. If you look in the black column, there are blue 'dots'. If you add the corresponding values of these dots together every time a ball is dispensed the value increases by 1 at a time. The highest possible value it 63. The angles of the 'switches' are perfectly design to 'switch' each and every time a ball hits them. Not genius, but original.

  • Exactly. Very impressive to have made one in Phun that works this well tho

  • Sorry about the typos guys. Once one 'switch' has been made it's just a matter of C&P.

  • plx post the ,phn file...much appresheated(sp?)

  • holy shit dude, thats amazing

  • its pretty cool, and i get how it works. what bugs me is why didnt i come up with this... btw, who did come up with this? its devishly intuitive.

  • Oh i get it...emayb. see:

    it takes 2 balls to "flip" the first "switch" so that that 2nd ball can hit the second switch. that means the second switch is hit every 2 balls. it also takes 2 balls that hit the second switch to flip it in a position that can hit the third switch, which means you need four balls to hit the third switch. Put that rule on the fourth switch, thus to hit the forth switch the third switch needs to be hit twice, (3rd switch hit twice = 8 balls), so if the fourth is hit..

  • This really puts my dick on a spring into perspective

  • what is it supposed to add??

    i don't get it..

  • u need to make it to were we can download this

  • OMG THIS IS AMAZING

  • waht is it ? XD

    n1

  • Whaaat thee fuuuuck??? Awesome. Geniusmedal granted.

  • Simply amazing !

  • Well done! I was trying this using more traditional logic units, but your solution is simpler and more elegant.

  • OMG!

    did u get this idea sumhere or u invented it?

    too bad they fall too fast sumtimes

  • holy bitch... this is hardcore

  • aw-frieking-some

  • could you upload this and tell us how to count it

  • Crazy!

  • nice
