Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2017116482A1] Systems and methods for creating mechanical computing mechanisms and Turing-complete systems which include combinatorial logic and sequential logic, and are energy-efficient. Embodiments of the invention include mechanical computing mechanisms and computational systems which have lower energy dissipation, a smaller number of basic parts, and other advantages over previous systems. Multiple embodiments are disclosed including mechanical link logic, mechanical flexure logic, and mechanical cable logic, along with design paradigms (including both mechanical designs, principles, and a novel classification system which categorizes systems as Types 1 through 4) that teach how to apply the general principles to other embodiments.
