There’s a Blue Bendix in Texas, and thanks to [Usagi Electric] it’s the oldest operating computer in North America. The Bendix G-15, a vacuum tube computer originally released in 1956, is now booting, ...

When we talk about a “computer” today, we generally picture an electronic machine that can perform various kinds of mathematical operations, manage its program flow, move data from one place to ...

Mr. Contact's Ena.Computer Is a Modern, Miniature Vacuum Tube Computer — and It Plays Pong --Hackster.io https://www.hackster.io/news/mr-contact-s-ena-computer-is-a ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This glass vacuum tube has one a ...

Vacuum tube technology is making a comeback, with physicists hoping to use miniature 'vacuum transistors' to make increasingly-smaller computers. The development comes just as the laws of physics are ...

I have always been interested in electronics engineering ingenuity used to solve “impossible” problems. One such problem was the task of deciphering the German Army's most secret transmissions during ...

The transistor revolutionized the world and made the abundant computing we now rely on a possibility, but before the transistor, there was the vacuum tube. Large, hot, power hungry, and prone to ...
