Domino Domino Logic

[Happyfaceboy100]

Why does he open a new set every time??

[slapkickinmule]

actually, you only need xor,and,not,and or to make computers, if only he had a not gate

[PoopTruffles]

Redstone in minecraft can be applied to this also.

[6730815]

people just smd , i wasted like 4 min watching the vid and another 5 min seeing the comments , now i want them back , not mentioning the time for the comment itself

[indago9]

I think I might make a calculator now.

[Anthonyk312]

Now try and make a NOT gate =P

[m4r1o148]

@Anthonyk312 I came up with an idea but it's VERY complicated and depends on timing and landing.

[submission123456]

impressive XOR haha niice

[OlloX3]

This is so coool!

[Pl4rk]

Great. Can't believe you can put logic gates into a domino set. :D

[dervish2173]

@lavonnaashli Funny guy

[darkshadow285]

i dont get it

[sashaioffine]

great boolean logic representation :)

[davidng5000]

is it bad if i knew all of this from minecraft?

[crazy2uger]

now make a computer out of dominos

[sudhanshu266]

well they r much easier on paper to learn.. the guy in video deserves the credit to have thought n presented it so well

[TheStigma]

Beautiful!... I just got some ideas of insane one-shot pseudo computers I could build like that. Now all I need are ca 780.000.000.000 domino bricks and several thousand years of sickdays.

[NeverMind9132]

That was much more complex than I thought it would be haha.

[boobmikesmith]

Such an awesome way of representing some of the simple gates :)

[balu65]

OMG i love it



[eldwulf]

OK, how about a working NOT gate?

;)

[YuEnDee14]

Excellent video. I love demonstrations of relatively simple concepts in creative and innovative ways. Now, I'll probably always think of these gates in domino terms.

[LuigiRocksTheHouse]

@giddyotwiggy Lawl

[LuigiRocksTheHouse]

Awesome, but for the XOR to work both inputs would have to come at the exact same time. Still cool.

[Jorbs3210]

What do TTL and CMOS stand for?

[tgoolsby2]

So would this mean dominos are turing complete?

[Juveylol]

you fucken suck a domino's bro.

[dante2k8]

Imagine Angry German Kid doing that and keep messing up... 

[robbob1508]

Holy shit!

This rocks!!!!

WOW

[dacar27]

???

[EconomicImperialist]

Now do a NOT gate

[vfmlor]

Pretty remarkable.

[eatcarpet]

fucking programming!!!

[ginemginem]

what I want to see is NOR and NAND :)

[3azifpiano]

wow wow wow wow !!!!

[wenaolong]

I get the OR gate, because either may be true, or both. The AND because only if Both are true is it true. But XOR is "only if neither are true, is it true". how are neither true?

[Odo987]

@wenaolong "only if neither are true, is it true" describes a NOR gate (Not OR).

XOR is "only if one is true but not both". Most usages of 'or' in English are actually 'xor'. E.g. "The Democrats or the Republicans will win the presidency" does not imply that both could win.

[Theowne]

@wenaolong ..In simple terms, the XOR gates model this behaviour: It is true if one and only one input is true. That's why it's called "exclusive OR" shortened to XOR, because it's like an OR gate except that it must be exclusive, you can't have two be true at the same time, it can only be one or the other.

[woozleollie37]

For the XOR gate, it looks like that part where the two domino chains cross (2:07) stops the output from becoming 1...so if one chain is toppled, the toppled chain blocks the other chain from toppling. Get it?

[ubercharger9000]

on touch "dom1" do set (flag1(=)true)

on touch "dom2" do if (flag1(=)true) (goto (true))

[jigglesnap]

slowest

computer

evarrrrrrr

[hoser4]

This is impressive. It'd be interesting to see how large a 4-bit full-adder "circuit" could be with this stuff.

Just out of curiosity though -- it looks like you're constructing the XOR gate from more basic gates. But, without an inverter, I couldn't see what these gates could be. Any chance we can see a follow-up video explaining how it works?

[nora8brian]

um i dont understand but now ima look it up!!!

[newcoolvid27]

The OR gate is so easy to make. Even a dolphin could do it with ease.

[LeiMagnus]

impressive

[faizee91]

wow

this is amazing...

[duksowood]

I never thought that one can use dominos for this purpose. Excelent

[Blacklemon67]

that's a very complex xor XD, it will be my duty to try to figure out a more efficient one dun da da daaaa!

[colossus999]

The people who say this is boring shouldn't be watching this video. It takes a mind that really appreciates logic simply for what it is, and that type of a mind seems to be something they lack.

[tke19933]

Emil slutt å sitt på youtube

[Limeman333]

@tke19933 W00T??

[tke19933]

HAHA EID!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tomicolo]

That's awesome!! It's unfortunate that people who don't know these gates have no chance to understand this video. But I enjoyed it ;) Especially the XOR gate was great! 5*

[MaartenOwnd]

b.o.r.i.n.g!!!

[ijjicoins]

Google logic gates and re-watch the video.

[carlinhosff]

logic is everywhere

[pashaahsj]

KUDOS

those are the biggest ones available on the market =D

[C94H]

boring and LAME!!!

[martiener1]

whahahahahaha

this is so... i don't say anything XD

[sirries1]

why am i watching this?

[hasjfdhshgiuerlg]

What is this song? Mozart, isn't it?

By the way...total respect...wonderful.

[ziaolol]

dude, seriously, thats fucking awesome oO

[OresAun]

respect^^ just great work

[asiansrule12893]

how did u slow the frame-rate like that, it looks fucking awesome

[Odo987]

iMovie on the Mac has the ability to speed up or slow down clips.

[Tsuppee]

Can someone tell me what the fuck is this shit

[spoovon9000]

@Tsuppee theyre logic gates, the first one is an OR so you can hit either and it will knock down the last, the second is a AND so you have to hit both, and the third one is a XOR so you can only hit one or the other but not both to knock down the last ones

[zrappaz]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!

:D:D:D

[rincewind888]

Hilarious!

[UpValleyPacifist]

i think your XOR may be vulnerable to a race condition

[AaronPatinio]

@UpValleyPacifist All XOR Gates are vulnerable to race conditions.

[712G0]

very nice! now you can make an ALU and show us how it works!

[SitarHeroDFP]

not that this guy didn't take time setting up and making this video... but not worth my stumble... sorry guy who made this, but it's not a Rube Goldberg Machine build with dominoes, don't put this on stumble

[DrummerBoyMatt528]

@SitarHeroDFP I stumbled this with computer science, and it's simulating how the gates in circuits work.

[iwan0t0smith]

very good

[Astroni800]

Amazed :D

[v5dan]

Very interesting and unique way to explain the basics of gates, thanks!

[douro20]

The output of an XOR gate is one if, and only if, one, and only one input equals one. That's why it's called an Exclusive-OR gate.

[pfw18]

bored

[littlemute]

stumbled and liked

[STFUNOWlol]

Clever

[FraudLogic]

meh...This isn't practical...there are some serious latency issues.

stumbled.

[UmaPalmaEMeia]

Although I find the XOR gate a bit too complex for such a (supposedely) simple task, I have to say this:

OH GOD, WIN!

You just made computers more fun than they already are :D.

[mario4711]

I think that XOR is simpler than building it up from 2 ANDs, 2 NOTs and 1 OR... especially when he hasn't any NOT-Gate

[WallStreetMaster]

Great Job! Simple and clear! Must have taken you forever to make! How many times did you accidentally knock the dominoes down while filming?

[Annodomino2007]

Dude, that can be done in ten or twenty minutes.

[Truthiness231]

OMFG <3 +=1

[johnzeear]

OMG (oh my, geek!)

*nosebleed*

one of the few moments that i had fun learning

[Asdam12]

Think you could make a simple domino calculator with those concepts?

(also, what's the name of the music?)

[Muvlonion]

well it certainly wouldn't be turing complete :D

[kibk8al]

Mozart piano sonata no. 15

[Asdam12]

Thanks.

[imorriso1]

Very cool!

[jksdfgyjfhgud]

wow really cool

[caatabatic]

that is a wonderful way of illustrating these concepts!

[AxeHomeless]

id diddnt get it, wahts that about?:D i think im too dumb:D

[godsadog]

You have 2 Inputs (the two Starting-Lines) and 1 Output (the long Final-Line).

OR: If one, or even both Input Events are triggered, Output will be true (= Final Line fell), else Output is false (= Final Line stands).

AND : Both Input Events have to be triggered to make Output true (= Final Line fell), if just one, or nothing is triggered = Output is false.

XOR: Only one Input event may be triggered to get Output true, if both or none are triggered = false (= Final Line doesn't fall).

[Muvlonion]

well i could have thought of OR but the other two were amazing!

[DBFriday]

XOR gate is pretty awesome!!!

[zonelouisa]

my domino set also look like that but mine was fake!!! do you realize the seller said it was orginal but it was fake grrr! i hate that seller man! the shape was not perfect! other dominos were curved other were not standing and...

P.S. Im just a 9 years old boy from Philippines

[chasconsm]

ridiculo

[McConsumer]

nice concept...give me ideas. I would like to see an entirely mechanical Playstation 3...maybe powered by a few diesel engines. With one of those displays made out of rotating wooden blocks.

[PWOPLW]

You work fast!

[acroboyargentina]

i Could have never think by myself the XOR gate.

you rock

[zwqg1985]

This is hilarious. I think I am going to show this to my VLSI professor as he may get a kick out of it. We learned about "domino" logic in that class, but this is the real deal!

[azntkdbb]

amazing... haha

[s474645]

That xor was brilliant, how many tries did that take?

[bananinhao]

amazing *-*

[elbombardi]

neil you're cool, the xor was just amazing.

[sucamelo95]

che merdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Dihgal]

This has to do with programming, right?

[frankwilliams987]

yes it does, but not just programming. anything logical makes use of logic gates. that's how you get logic to "do" stuff.

[tjsfury]

I would comment on AromaHoma's comment but I usually let retards make an ass out of themselves.

Granted the guy who made the video must have been VERY bored cause this is a waist of time the XOR, OR, and the AND gates Worked as they should Next up COMBINE the gates :] or Just the eiffel tower and watch it fall down for the hell of it. Eiffel tower = more fun but still a waist of time

[AromaHoma]

wow you must be retarted or something thats not how you do that stuff dammm

YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURRE YOU GET ALL THE TURNS OR OR THE OTHER PART OF THE SIDE IIIIII IIIIIIII  IIIII

[AnorexiaNervosa18]

hahahhahaha the XOR was pretty fantastic yea bravooo

[eddiekoski]

the exclusive or is awsome

[DanMan7997]

very cool neil!

[ikbenbohdi]

wtb a life?

[KlezHunter1]

Nice, really good, like it, keep up the good work

[enemyindisguise]

BRAVO !!!

[NesoDomino]

Not bad, nice Ideas.

4 Stars

[Donkey655321]

Impressive

[dtomi86]

totaly coool :D :P

[Tzambissamo]

I bet your a great teacher, you could teach logic gates to any age with dominoes! I know I learn't something.

I love your website btw, did you know your mri 'wooden brain' got featured in a b3ta newsletter?

[kysnail]

awesome :-)

[misterwise]

but the electrons actually move the other way ...

nah, just skip that :P this is one fantastic movie ^^

[NobodyLP]

still looking forward for the NOT gate. :D

[KingAlekxz88]

k merda di video

[ldsm]

rfoflolmao thts gr8

[Ba3dadBoy]

OMG!!! The XOR gate was so cool!

[jimbobjun]

This video doesn't deserve the hype it's getting,

there are domino videos on YouTube 10000 times better than this that aren't getting a quarter of the views and feedback that they deserve.

[marsCubed]

I find this video very interesting and even important. In nature we have logical systems of all kinds. Understanding such things in their simplest form is the holy grail of physics. Here we see a thermodynamic system which consumes energy in simple steps which are accessible to geometric representation, performing computation. Just the observation alone can give one an insight into how freedoms in 3 space yields infons. with enough dominos you could build a computer or even a mind.

[jimbobjun]

Although what you said makes sense, I believe that there are far better examples of simple experimenting than this- some of the things the guy was making were absurd and had no way of working.

All I was saying is that doesn't deserve 150,000 views and all of the good feedback when there are are people who have put a lot more effort into their work and are getting 20 views- which isn't right.

[marsCubed]

Popularity is only one of a number of criteria used to assign values to an object. You could for instance assess something for it's technical excellence or for it's historical significance, or perhaps for it's longevity. how many vids will survive for 100 years? It gladdens me that an intellectual subject should be seen more often.

 Also perhaps hits come from ppl looking for logic.

The lesson here could be; make good meta data and title, relate in some interesting way to a larger community.

[jimbobjun]

I have already experimented with various ploys to get views on YouTube by using such tags as "You've Been Framed"

or "Guinness world record"

but this should in no way mean popularity.

The views are the least of my concerns, It is the popularity for such little effort that irritates me.

[danshadow666]

You don't need ploys son. This vid isn't even about dominos in the way you are thinking. It's a logic demonstration. Most of the views are probably links thru math pages.

So wipe away those tears slugger, I'm sure your vids will hit the big time one day.

[danshadow666]

I, for one, welcome Domino based computing. Look how fast those things fell. Eat your heart out transistor.

[kurtjahr]

Are you sad because your domino videos aren't getting enough attention? Aww, don't cry.

I think you are missing the point. It's a clever demonstration of how logic gates function... mathematically and scientifically interesting stuff--much better than your stupid dominoes.

[pandaman0529]

The reason why I believe people enjoy this video is because they are like me. They have worked on countless problems involving and or and xor gates in Digital Electronics or other courses in school, and they find it funny how it can be represented through dominos. Its understandable that this isn't the most complicated design, but in this case it is receiving the attention because it is simply more creative. A bridge between dominos and the basis of computing, that's unique.

[NobodyLP]

this guy is just ENVIOUS of this vid. grow up. smartass!

[jimbobjun]

Grow up?

I wasn't exactly being rude, i just stated my opinion without using swearwords or being in any way nasty.

[NobodyLP]

apparently, you don't see the rudeness (and enviousness) of your comment. try going back to your trolling ploys and you'll see why dis vid deserves more genuine views than yours.

[jimbobjun]

Have you even seen my videos?

[sparkloweb]

jimbobjun, you are judging the video from an artsy-fartsy perspective. I was searching for "logic," supporting what marsCubed and danshadow666 suggested. From that angle, this video was great.

One could equally claim that your videos are overrated because they are just elaborate (wasteful) constructs that do no computation. Or did you manage to build a transistor with dominoes?

(...clicks back to the logic videos...)

[NobodyLP]

yup. i've seen your videos.. and yes, no LOGIC.

ok, if you didn't get my comment (coz you don't know logic; yeah it's pun).. you know why stick comic doesn't fade away as fast as 30-min 3D videos? coz they (the sticks) have MORE content than the typical 3D video guys. get it? they don't contain extra fat on their body.. just enough fat on their head is all they need to harbor all the page views. so don't whine here bro, you won't earn more page views by harassing other's videos.. pity you.

[Antonmorrisisalegend]

tool

[henno1029]

uhm buy 1000 stones like me and let see if you really could make dominoes ^^

[pimpolinka69]

meeh cool. logic gates for retards.

[modar]

omg i have dominoes just like that in a box just like that!

[chancehadme]

this video is awsome i wish i could show it to some of my friends but they would not get it :/

[coolmen089]

cool nice video

[999Leon999]

hahaha. Supercool! Respect!

[bulgutra]

Someone has way to much time on their hands

[tetavo]

hahaha! that's so great! i've been trying to do this with dominoes for a while...

...so am i cheating? >.>

[cbough88]

Lol Wow

[dominoman94]

hi im steve

[cbough88]

Thats nice

[TMan7997]

Lol! That was a non-secuator!

[remiedog]

that dominoes have i to i have buy Two of the boxes the dominoes are small

[cyborgtroy]

I think I tried to do this sort of thing once. AND gates rather befuddled me.

And how would NOT work?

[jefersonrod]

awesome

[Tehw00tz]

Jesus you must have a lot of patience to be able to knock those dominos down and put them back up just to knock them down again

[iamneuron]

Where is NAND?

[TiCLer]

Lurk moar!

[smasher32]

dont quite understand the logic behind it, but seems interesting.

[MBieroegel]

Yeah cool... now i know, how it work's ;-)

[AnotherGlenn]

LOL, nerdier than me :)

[thailsoff]

O my f***ing GOD ! the Xor is PERFECT ! lol ! very very good movie.

[smartinp]

WOW xD

[theglog]

woot

[neojorge88]

Great!!

[TheGodKingSatanX]

wow, just what technology needs, creating logic gates using regular sized domino chips. unless those dominoes are nano-sized, ur just wasting ur time

[iggy4323]

Destructive attitudes like yours don't get us anywhere. There's nothing wrong with being curious and trying things.

[lobomeister]

who wants to calculate how much space we would need to port the linux kernel to dominos? :) (assuming we have registers and ways to reuse the gates of course)

[retep760]

nice :)

[zanderinofilms]

awesome :)

[tobias104]

Wow that XOR gate is confusing. Very nice job, though.

[Kikion07]

absolutly horrible
