You don’t often see clever builds like this Technic Dot Matrix Display by AncientJames from New Zealand. As the reel starts rolling, the patterns on the cards inside correspond with the patterns on the display and can show anything that fits into a 5x5 square.

LEGO Turing Machine

Thu, 21 Jun 2012 03:43:00 +0100

This is a short documentary about the LEGO Turing Machine built by Jeroen van den Bos and Davy Landman at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), Amsterdam (Netherlands). They built it for CWI’s exposition ”Turings Erfenis” in honor of the centenary of Alan Turing’s birth on 23 June 1912. Alan Turing was a brilliant mathematician who helped define the theoretical model of the computer as we know it today. He was a visionary, one of the few people of his time who recognized the role the computer would play for humanity. The Turing Machine (1936) is an adequate model of a computer. It can do anything the computers of today or tomorrow can do.
