Very cool, analog computer designs like this are so interesting to think that they came from minds that would have had to have a great understanding of math and astronomy... So crazy :3

Holy balls that's cool.
I love it when ideas (like computing) are manipulated by people and applied in different areas/with different materials. Though this exact thing obviously isn't exactly practical, it's cool seeing what people can do. I've always kind of wanted to do things like that but at least for replicating the first computer with legos, I don't exactly have the knowledge and experience to do so obviously. Would be pretty cool to learn this stuff one day though.

Has a Dark knight ost theme to it.
Makes the video that much better.
