All you need is to create logic gates: objects that take in two inputs (generally 0 and 1, corresponding to off and on), and return a single output (again, 0 or 1). Here's a diagram of the 4 gates (AND, OR, NAND, NOR) you need: Input 1 | Input 2 | AND output | OR output | NAND output | NOR output | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
That's... that is... oh my fuck we can do that, and, excuse me I need to - KIMA!!!! CO - - think, can we make nerves small enough if -

Good luck! If you hit any major stumbling blocks, feel free to bounce ideas of me.

(response to ( this), moved here <- relevance) My world, easiest way to generate electricity quickly, rotate magnet inside coil of metal wire. Pay someone money, they conjure sand, glaze it around bottom part of magnet, rises to top, then dismissed, falls again <- momentum, repeated many times quickly -> rotation. Rotate magnet inside metal wire coil -> electrical voltage. Faster rotation -> more voltage. Other worlds, same (rotate magnet in wire coil -> electricity, not conjure-glaze specific)?

Having been researching historic computing and related subjects recently, I can say with some confidence that the majority of historic electricity-generation methods in Eclipse used generators based upon that mechanism, differing primarily in the motive force.

Heat differentials or other energy sources lift electrons over electric differentials. Mechanic vibrations deform crystals to induce polarisation. There's some more, but those are the three most common ones.
Try preparing a nitrogen atom next to a free space in a diamond lattice, surrounded by two carbon 13 Atoms. Those make excellent computing devices.

Thanks, Lantern, I appreciate it. I didn't mean to clutter the wrong thread.
Magnetism does induce current in conducting metals in much the same way on Pantheon, but conjuring mass or levitation are more expensive, effort-wise, than creating power in other ways. (I ask forgiveness if I misunderstood your statement. I am not quite as good as parsing your language as I am most of the translated statements on this forum.)

Okay, conjuration, glazing, only magic in my world. Probably why the difference in generation techniques. Thanks for confirmation! Looks like your interpretation, correct, no concern!

Latern, All of Fractal's energy generation except solar and magical power plants work by the moving magnet method. Many methods produce energy in the form of heat, which is used to boil water to make steam push a turbine, making the magnetic induction method easy to use and apply in many situations.

>MagicPhD, I'm glad to know! Thank you! Often during steady winds, turbines set up, generate electricity. Otherwise, pay someone to rotate magnets <- most efficient.

I believe that it is impossible to make magnets that are only north or only south, though I don’t know why. At least in my world, "only north" or "only south" magnets are as impossible as "only north" or "only south" islands, for a similar reason: "north" and "south" are relative. If you cut an island's southmost part free, the remaining island still _has_ a southmost part, it's just a different part. (And the little freed south part has its own little northmost part, too.) Similarly "north" and "south" of magnets are relative. If I hold a magnet by its south end, my magnet's north end doesn't just arbitrarily move to other magnets' south ends; for _any_ two parts, it prefers the part more south. Line it up anywhere and my magnet will slide to a part that's a little more south, and a little more south, until it lines up with the south end just because there's nowhere more south to go.

I haven't studied magnets or anything, but couldn't you have a magnet shaped like a hollow spherical shell that's north on the outside and south on the inside?

If you did something like that, I wouldn't expect it to do much with other magnets, because the part they can reach is all the same northness. Other magnets couldn't point to a part that was more north or more south.
If you put a hole in your sphere, bar magnets might want to go fill the hole, so their north and south ends can line up by your sphere's south inside and north outside.
I can't try it out because I don't know how to bend magnets into a sphere like that.

My guess is that the south ends of other magnets would be attracted to the sphere and the north ends of other magnets would be repelled from the sphere. Unfortunately I don't know how to make a magnet shaped like that either.

>Gabriael, We already have computers, why the other? I'm using small device, can't read large files. Someone can confirm safety, good idea? It's perfectly safe and it's processing power scales exponentially with the number of processors you use.

It's perfectly safe and it's processing power scales exponentially with the number of processors you use. Exponentially? Doesn't that violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
