Friends, It's amazing to see that we're past $1.1 M and well on our way to $1.2 M! In this update, I thought I'd tell you about two interesting things happening. First, the diode. In our last update, I showed a 3D rendering of the new design. The... (Read More)

Friends, It's unbelievable to see that we've reached over $1 M and we're closing in fast on $1.1 M. I was planning to send an update yesterday, but I decided to finish up something else instead: That's right - the million dollar diode! Our plan is to... (Read More)

This is Paul, the creator of Spintronics and Turing Tumble. It might not be a shock to learn that I’m an introverted person: I regularly explore the many facets of awkwardness and I secretly enjoyed being locked down last year. Nevertheless, when I... (Read More)

Wow, we are COMPLETELY floored!! We sincerely thank you all for making this an incredible day. Four years ago, in our Kickstarter for Turing Tumble, $404,071 was pledged by the end of the campaign. It's a number that's burned into our memories, not... (Read More)

Here’s a cool Kickstarter campaign that just launched today: Spintronics. Designed by Paul Boswell, the guy behind the Turing Tumble mechanical computer that funded a few years ago, Spintronics teach you about circuits—but with a mechanical system! Boswell has found a way to represent voltage and currents using a chain-driven system, making it easier to see what’s going on and bringing these concepts to life (with a delightfully steampunk aesthetic). (Read More)
