K'Nex Binary Calculator, Version 1.0

[improvised239]

i love how it looks like an upside down long division equasion

[prplprince]

at first i thought this was stupid, but then when i watch i like it

[tbhizzle]

Pretty cool but you need to know how to add inorder to add with the caculator! But it is still amazing

[RadioactiveCatpiss]

wait so basically... the machine drops the balls into the nubers but you still have to add it up yourself LOL?

[GabrielTheViking]

cool with this machine i can cheat in my math tests

[piebaldDawg]

at like 4:49 its kinda what she said

[Toasty278]

because using a regular calculator would be too easy.

[ProjectLetsPlay1]

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??????????

[mrroboto695]

omfg i love the music

[wifimonkey]

I'll give you my wife for this...She puts out :| ha funny thoughts

[Spicyperson9123]

good work

[SuperPieBox23]

I understand it =D! i know what a ion engine is  XP

[samosammo123]

Could you possibly explain this is in simple terms because i still do not get the idea of how it works

[MrJohnCitizenSmith]

Dude, well done, iv tried producing this before but its your ''answer bar'' i was missing.

TNKS

[KygonGames]

im confuzzled about adding small numbers? o.0

[Alexx847]

HAAXXXX!

[TricorneGuy]

The answer box needsto be fixed but that would be kinda tricky...

[TheFatJedi1995]

Loving the music! Land Down Under XD

[AlbertRavn]

What is the name of the song in the beginning of the video?

[mrroboto695]

@AlbertRavn land down under by men at work

[supercoolninjayo]

The fact that it has no practical use makes it that much better. Great job!

[Distortionize]

WE WANT A F*CKING TUTORIAL :D

[MirageSeraph]

correct me if I'm wrong but this isn't pointless... he only does the work so he knows the answer is right, if you put a bunch of algebra constant stuff that i don't understand into this, someone could answer a question they don't know with this.

[a1dzcannon]

what if i body slammed it that would be funny

[L33tObZ]

.....

O.o

[steezyflip22]

Men at Work... NICE CHOICE

[zzz123kkma]

so wait...u dont actually add anything on that...in the end u still add it yourself...wtf?

[44GreenJB]

@zzz123kkma the answer is in simplest binary form

[LOLLIEBOY444]

Try sneaking this into a test lol.

[Shawnclaw]

WHAT IS THE POINT? But it's still cool.

[jamincortez]

There is an inherent flaw in your design.

It requires doing a lot of arithmetic in your head to even use!

a calculator that makes you do more work than it does hahahaha pwnt

[koreanisms]

wow calculator porn

[WarlordofSatrae]

I wonder if i could use this on my midterms?

[youngold95]

I COME THE LAND DOWN UNDER :D

[Tcj333]

thumbs if you gasped when 1 + 2 was actually 3

[lordxathor]

I give you big props for making this and putting it on YouTube... very neat.

You have way more patience than I do.

[trumpet190]

wow.. im only watching it because i thought it was a joke... someone needs to get out more

[Mozilla2012]

@trumpet190 That was freshmen year.

And you're right about that then.

[CaptainCarthex]

@trumpet190 Someone needs to learn that every piece of fun technology you have comes from people like the guy that made this.

[trumpet190]

@CaptainCarthex wasnt aware that calculators were fun but hey, whatever floats your boat...

[CaptainCarthex]

@trumpet190 That electronic device you're tying on, which I assume you think is fun, is essentially this K'nex creation, but a million times more complex and a million times more compact.

[trumpet190]

@CaptainCarthex wonderfull but i dont really care pal

[ssjfalconman]

could you make one to multiply and divide?

[Mozilla2012]

@ssjfalconman That would take too many parts, too much time, and too much thinking.

[MrXImpossible]

I would so buy that! How much?

[Mozilla2012]

@MrXImpossible More than you could afford. I am not rebuilding that. haha

[Spicyperson9123]

@Mozilla2012 I will love to build one can you tell me how it works and what kind of logic gates i need

[masterptt]

If you built this machine in reverse could it subtract?

[TehNikeShow]

magical answerbar :O

[slashy04]

ik zat alleen in een vuile kameel

[Emrik98]

Im raywilliamjhonson equals three and i approve this message xD

[jamiller83]

i dont understand



[Smeggers08]

song at start?

[KonVeger]

Woa. Thats head-asploding stuff. This deserves more views.

[TheFilipsen]

to much spare time?

[Misiame]

holy crap how did you do that

[pivotguy3]

NO!!! MATH HAS TAKIN OVAH KNEX!

[2austin99]

never mind

[2austin99]

it's cool, but what if I didn't know the answer

[tarjeivraadal]

@2austin99 you obviously dosent know anything about binary numbers

[vladimir0B]

Now the golf balls on the bottom should drop to a real extra long calculator, pressing numbers, and then with one finger pressing an equal button would show one number as the answer! woohoo!

[WTFisJamieUp2]

scary thing is i see how this works!

[jharts1998]

wow this is cool

[SeTorsken]

What about subtraction? :O

[Theyallfloatdownhere]

Lets see how much have I earned this year I believe I will simply build an analog machine capable of figuring that out for me. 0-o lol

[bagelboy571]

thats crazy did you get any extra credit

[ku105ribmmrbo202361]

you should make it so that if you pull one piece of knex all of the balls get released into the answer bars at the bottom instead of pulling each one. I don't know how you'd do that but i think that would be a lot easier?

[SuperClubpenguingeek]

i understand everything except the open answer bar part :)

[dakotamanomgwtf]

I wish i was smart :/ haha

[DaMiStudios]

Excellent!

Nice song choice, and wonderful representation of binary logic!

Just as an idea, a single switch to trip all the rockets for an easy clean would be nice.

Still, nice work! :D

[joetjoepboy]

fuck i just puked becose of the song...

[bostonteabagger71739]

k'nex genius, camera n00b

[lolisbol]

Bring this to school and watch the teachers and students drool in awe.

[foozy12]

Amazing, but I'm pretty sure it won't fit in your pocket.

:P

[rne1223]

this is pretty cool and so nerdy at the same time ;)

[CCCProdina]

so do you wip this baby out on math exams?

[GnomePlaysWoW]

@CCCProdina

No, when he has girls at home ofc.

[vidcirman666]

If you were released into an infinite K'nex factory with infinite K'nex peices, I'm shure you'd make a supercomuter by age 80 :)

[Frostedchunks]

you really need to get laid.....BUT AWESOME CALCULATOR DUDE!!!!!

[WoWSmirv]

Ok, I know this is math and it shows skills and schooling and I am not as smart as all this, but honestly, what is the point. It seems more confusing then needed for math. Is this something that one may encounter in their life as in, is this a skill needed for jobs? I really honestly do not see the point in knowing about this. Or I could just be a lazy retard. IDK it hurts my brain to think about it.

[hunt3rvall0t]

@WoWSmirv your right not a lot of real world application for k'nex computers but it help you understand computers better

[Pizack3]

@WoWSmirv

When you make something like this, its the thrill of going from concept to finished, working device that is the motivation. We use electronic computers and calculators all the time, so seeing the basic, mechanical representation of how these devices work, using knex no less, is cool to see. Its like a puzzle. You know what the final product should do, but getting there is the challenge.

[2camjohn]

Awsome intro theme.

Great binary adder.

Its nice and simple which makes a great tool for people learning how a computer works.

But I do agree the camerawork is a little shaky.

[LEpicFails912]

make an operationg system for your computer!

[EpicCookie7]

pro v1x?

[defect530]

the most confusing calculator EVER!

[epete05]

Someone probably already posted this, but There are 10 types of people, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

[Senoska]

@epete05 lol

[lukey405]

No one understands it?

I think I understand it pretty damned well. Good job! Shame you dismantled it.

[bigchoonage]

if you had a big bag of golf balls and wanted to count how many there were you could stick them in a big tube above the 1's column and drop them... as long as they release slowly enough for it i guess. nice vid

[jiafjioawefjio3f9034]

this is pretty amazing. excellent job

[Kennyfan13579]

......fail

[icelinen]

song?

[d0mr0cks]

How long did it take to make this?

[cp225]

Would have been more watchable had you kept your camera steady. It's a neat idea but I just can't watch this.

[Hitman47PL]

@NakedCreep I can actually back my statement up, can you? I said it was pointless because it's way too complicated. It's much easier to to the additions in your head. Larger scale? No, that just makes things worse.

[somekindofafroperson]

thats a cool way to make simple math less simple...

[nowayout5221]

omg AWSOME

[slyfox3760]

U have way to much time on ur hands. Do u not?  Yes u do

[DoomMaster307]

Dude wtf.....

Welcome to the mindfuck.

[Mrpwnage2244]

You should, like... Get a patent for this, and sell it worldwide. I mean.. Holy shit.. This is AMAZING!!

[NESSNESS9]

Mind is blown.

[Hitman47PL]

this is pointless, sorry.

[Kaminer4545]

thats freakin cool, try doing logic gates

[Mozilla2012]

@Kaminer4545 I may try someday. haha

[StelarCF]

@Kaminer4545 logic gates are quite much easier.... transistors<logic gates<calculators<CPU's<A full computer

[Kaminer4545]

@StelarCF I wanna see it

AND gate

OR gate

that would be interesting to see

[xyzMitchellzyx]

one of the best uses of childrens toys ever. but i was still so lost xD gj

[Nanopaulg]

yay carry-over mechanism! very cool. my problem with this is that the amount of thinking required to use it is probably more than would be required to do the math yourself. make a frontend!

[Mozilla2012]

@Nanopaulg I would like too, but I lack the time.

[wieders]

@Mozilla2012 This video proves otherwise.. :)  Nice work!

[crazymcfobo]

Bring this calculator to your SATs

[chunjee]

cool but your camerawork sucks

[Mozilla2012]

@chunjee It's not about my cameraworking skills.

[TheCameraWorks]

@chunjee >_>

[zenteoxero]

Supergay!

[Mozilla2012]

@zenteoxero Like you!

[markjz]

NERD! go play some football! : 0

: D actually really awesome, this fellow nerd bows to your superior brain

[Mozilla2012]

@markjz Why thank you

[ihascookieTV]

amazing but i wont fit in my pencil case and no offence but do you have a girl friend

[Mozilla2012]

@ihascookieTV Yes, I have had several.

[FresaPrincess7]

gay!!

[Mozilla2012]

@FresaPrincess7 Like you!

[guyboy625]

This could be useful for cheating on no-calculator exams.

[Mozilla2012]

@guyboy625 True! Some kid did ask me if I was going to bring it into school.

[slithien]

wow i never thought it was possible to make a knex caculator!

[looney1023]

you know what might look really cool? if you built a simultaneus release

[Mozilla2012]

I did!

But after i made this video.

I had to take it apart before i could film it.

It used string, and worked quite well.

[mmeak]

Nice job ! It is alway fun with balls.

You might now create an "interface" so that first you write the two numbers, and then send them to the adder, that would be even cooler.

[KnexJunkie]

its a handy thing to make schould maybe be handy for schools with kids that need to learn math (math=wiskunde from my country but theres a lower lvl then math but i dont know the name of it in English) 5stars its a good Calculator
