A petabyte on a Odhner-type calculator

[dylanznj]

the biggest byte is a geopbyte

[shadow212222]

@dylanznj there is no biggest byte.

[PivotMasterD1]

Wouldn't this be a pebibyte, not a petabyte?

[myasskick]

i'll stick to my ti-nspire :)

[chieftech100]

102 exa-byte ^24

[BoognishRising]

how many gb is 1 pedobyte?

[AllofVideos]

@BoognishRising 1000

[clancyfan1993]

@BoognishRising one petabyte is 1048576 gigabytes

[reditacken]

avatar=1 petabyte

[WhiteOps7]

Nice a Walther peta99 :D

[michaelboett173]

like the Enigma machine :)

[jamesandrew2000]

nice tits.

[Black0psHD]

i was just looking up rndom crap about servers n i found this..i dont completely get that calculator how high up were the numbers? from that bottom section it looked like up to 99 quadrillion

[kingofthebacon]

@Black0psHD yeah i was looking up random crap about servers too lol

[DaMiJa2]

ever seen a niggabyte?

[Black0psHD]

@DaMiJa2 lol

I was trying to do this on a Monroe from 1918...couldn't do it, even though the machine had enough space in the registers.

[douro20]

Never mind; I got it working.

[dreamkiller765]

yotta? :D

[douro20]

I don't think any pinwheel or stepped-drum calculator exists which could calculate a number that big.

[webdoggboy]

@douro20 but you just saw one -.-

that thing really exist, we have one at our school, brocken because of too much uses but it did.

[citroen2cv]

There isn't any kind of trick in the video.

[TheYouuTubeRipper]

What a cool device. I want one. I'd get bored with it after 20 minutes and want my keyboard back but it's still cool none-the- less!!!

[yoshionthego]

awesome!

[jamesyboy2007]

thats one big ass number and calculator

[douro20]

Actually this is quite small for an Odhner calculator.

[Azrock2007]

i think you were in the first world war, you can sale this machine for 1 million dollar to put it in the mesume

[RetroCalculators]

Yes, nice machine. I had to watch this a few times to see that you are multiplying 2^20 (1MegaByte) times 2^30 (1Tera) to get 2^50 (1Peta) with a 16 digit result, wow. Thanks for the video.

[douro20]

A calculator made by a handgun manufacturer. (but then Rheinmetall made a stepping-drum machine)

[HifiCentret]

Nice machine you've got there :)

Yes, you can do shortcuts in both multiplication and division. On your Walther the quotient register (the one showing crank turns) will read 197 also when using the shortcut method since the quotient register has tens transmission. On a simpler (and cheaper) machine which don't have tens transmission the quotient register will read 203 where the 3 is red which means that position took 3 backwards turns. Essentially it means 200 - 3 = 197.

[RetroCalculators]

By the 'shortcut method', you are referring to the way he saves cranks by overshooting on the prior digit and then subtracting cranks, is that right? For example rather than turning the crank 7 times (for digit 2), he gives the preceding digit an extra turn, then subtracts 3 turns (effectively adding 10 and subtracting 3 to get 7).

Nice to see some of these old tricks! I have an old Time-Is-Money machine (also German) with the red digits as you describe.

[HifiCentret]

Yes, you can do it in what sequence you like. But only with tens transmission in the quotient register it'll be dead straight forward. For an in depth explanation of the shortcut method. Please contact me as I'm unable to post a link in here :(

Lets trick it...
