Recently some research on mechanical logic offered a new viewpoint of dealing with the limitations of this variety of logic. By including a concept called pre-toggling, one can construct nearly any conceivable logic circuit, with surmountable exceptions. From this, Pre-Toggled Mechanical Logic (PTML) was born. Due to the nature of gear assemblies, circuitry using this method can be exceptionally fast for certain purposes, and can be made 100% fluid conserving in all cases, allowing it to be isolated from an infinite water supply. | Recently some research on mechanical logic offered a new viewpoint of dealing with the limitations of this variety of logic.

XOR and NXOR gates can be built using multiple input gears. This may be wasteful when only a simple XOR gate is needed, but when more complex gates are needed, knowing how to build an XOR or NXOR gate can be helpful. | XOR and NXOR gates can be built using multiple input gears.
