Week TechVideo, 2013 #14 - Pascaline

Thiago Bouzan (thiagot5) [1] finished his latest work - a replica from the mechanical calculator Pascal's Calculator (or Pascaline), invented by Blaise Pascal in 1642.
This calculating machine could add and subtract two numbers directly and multiply and divide by repetition. Do not confuse with other more advanced calculus machines developed many years later, and eventually better know by the readers. The Arithmometer patented in France by Thomas de Colmar in 1820, and the Difference Engine or the Analytical Engine, both designed by Charles Babbage (aka "father of the computer") later in the 19th century.

For a LEGO realization of the Babbage Difference Engine, by Andrew Carol, you may want to recall this older post here at TBs .
Now let's wait on what Thiago has set for his next project...


Disclaimer:

Please avoid sending requests to post specific models on this TBs section.

We understand some of you would enjoy to see your creations featured here, but please understand that because only one video gets highlighted per week, it is impossible to accommodate all the great MOCs continuously build by the Technic builders out there. They simply won't fit all and that's also not the purpose of this blog (see the header statement).

Many of your MOCs are scanned anyway and listed for later publication when they do not fit immediately. However some remain in the backlog queue just for too long and eventually loose the relevance or the publication opportunity window. As a rule of thumb, we also avoid publishing MOCs that have been featured by their authors or other fans at some other great web places dedicated to the Technic community out there. It doesn't mean that occasionally some won't get published here anyway.


Thanks for your understanding!
