Very nice work! I love your ingenuity! I would check only twice the name. As I recall, Chemputer is a well-established name published in Nature, an automatic synthesis system. So it would be confusing for people to search for your stuff.
Thank you:) I know "Chemputer" is alreay occupied but actually a better name would be “chemprinter”, as the original idea was to 3D print medicines. Anyway, that's why I only used the name on the PCB. By the way, in 2025 I will be building a chemical neuron (microfluidics). Thanks again for stopping by.
I've been thinking about an electro-chemical brain for a while now but under a totally different conceptual paradigm. So I found this experiment pretty interesting. I also found it funny that you made the robot's hand give the middle finger 🙃.
In one of my next projects, I will build a chemical neuron. I also wondered about the strange misbehavior of the robotic hand. Maybe some impurities in the chemicals :D Will you make a video of your electrochemical brain? Or is it just an idea now?
Our brain is analog. It does not consist of silicon semiconductors. The clock frequency of the brain is also not particularly high, around 100 Hz. Richard Feynman once said: “What I cannot build, I do not understand.” I think we have to break completely new ground in order to construct an AI that is on a par with us humans.
Very nice demo. Do you already have any ideas on how to interface the output of one gate to the input of another?especially if you need to be able to reset the state of the chemputer every clock cycle i imagine that to be really quite difficult. Despite thinking about this a fair bit i haven't really found a good chemical reaction for that either... i mean there are a few options really but for the ones i found to be suitable the most significant part of the gates logic would be fluidic in nature and the chemical reaction doesn't really do the heavy lifting which is a bit cheaty i feel like. also the interface between clock, logic and NVRAM would be complicated as well as both will probably use very different reactions. Maaaaaaybe its possible to use a reagent/setup that fulfills the following conditions: 1. Contains chlorine suspended in a buffer solution 2. Contains some reagent that gives off a H+ ion in a heated acidic solution that can attack said chlorine to form HCl in gaseous form. 3. Must implement the actual NOR gate or NVRAM logic somehow bc. this describes a buffer capable of cascading, not an actual logic gate. 4. Reagent must yoink a H+ ion from HCl if cold. 5. Assembly must contain valves to get rid of gaseous HCl when resetting the gate for the next cycle. Operation would look like this: everytime the luminol clock goes high, the gates are heated and give off the HCl gas that is vented. Also reagent get refilled. If during a low phase of the luminol clock HCl from the preceding gate is bubbled through a gate, HCl is formed that goes into the next gate etc. Etc. As i said this does not implement any logic. Just an idea, i am sure you came up with something smarter and less overcomplicated.
Wow, thanks a lot for your very detailed comment and suggestions. I honestly haven't thought much about combined chemical reactions yet; my next research topic is to build an electroosmotic pump as small as possible. I think a lot could also work through selective ion exchange membranes, so a main circulatory system that supplies all other sub-systems with chemicals. I chose luminol reactions simply because they can be easily converted into electrical impulses. However, it is a very interesting field of research in which I will continue to work :)
There was a poll recently on my channel asking whether I should do voice-over or not. The majority decided in favor of voice-over. Unfortunately, I can't please everyone.
2:26 “If you are impatient, skip the part” - I take this as a personal challenge! 😂
Nowadays, everything has to be done quickly. But the beauty often only emerges when you look at it calmly :)
Really interesting, good job. Hugs from Brazil!
Thank you. Greetings back to Brazil from Germany:)
Excellent! Superb job 👏
Thank you, Andres. It's just the beginning. I will continue my research on this topic, for example I will develop an artificial chemical neuron.
Very nice work!
I love your ingenuity!

@@Marbslab microfluidic chemical neuron?? i can not wait!
For now, it is definitely ChemBrain with ChemLogic Systems :)
Kee good work!
@@ejkozan ChemBrain and ChemLogic sounds great!

Thanks for sharing this. Fascinating. Do you think the analogue nature of the outputs here could inspire some more analogue circuits or computing?

You channel is astonishing, but your voice is too deep to follow.
