− | + | Mechanical logic is one discipline of [[computing]] using mechanical [[power]] to perform logical operations. In this case powered or unpowered [[machine component|machine components]] represent the binary information. | |
The principles of mechanical logic are simple. [[Gear assembly|Gear assemblies]] linked to [[lever]]s or [[pressure plate]]s will be toggled between disengaged and engaged when they receive an on/off signal. In this manner, you can conditionally attach power supply from [[windmill]]s or [[water wheel]]s to specially arranged gears to build logic gates. | The principles of mechanical logic are simple.
