1 Byte Computer

This is my 1 Byte Computer! It adds 8 bit binary numbers represented by marbles. I made this for my Dad who is a Maths Teacher.

I really cant take any credit for the concept for which credit should go to Matthias Wandel. Please check out his website, it's very good! http://woodgears.ca/marbleadd/index.html

My design miniaturises the rockers and adds an extra 2 columns to make it an 8 bit Binary Calculator.

I've also designed a new result slider which traps the balls against a slightly angled bar; I'm very pleased with the mechanism.
