Project Name : Mechanical Binary Adder
Theme Name : Mathematics in Everyday Life
Scientific Principle: The model shows the use of binary number addition to demonstrate the addition of Binary numbers by mechanical means. The exhibit will use both mechanical and electronic equivalents to demonstrate this.
Method: The model uses marbles, mechanical gates and pathways to demonstrate the addition of binary numbers – using a mechanical adder.
Its unique feature: the simplicity of the machine allows the audience to understand how a calculator or a computer does its calculation.
Application in different domains of life: understanding the process of how mathematical operation can be done using adder will make the process of computing less a black box.
Further scope of Exhibit: the project aims to inspire research into computing as an isentropic (no gain or loss) system where full reversibility of the computation is pre requisite.
