Talk:Unconventional computing

Suggestion for External Link

To whoever is "managing" this page, may I suggest an external link to the "Heath Robinson Rube Goldberg (HRRG) Mixed Technology Computer" project at http://www.diycalculator.com/sp-hrrgcomp.shtml. The idea is to create a computer out of a mixture of implementation technologies, including relays, vacuum tubes, transistors, simple integrated circuits, pneumatic logic, magnetic logic, and so forth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Memyselfmax (talk • contribs) 21:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Interesting, but a far stretch from being related to the topic of this article. -- RTC 02:39, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Implementations

I renamed the "Mechanisms" section as "Implementations" as the original title clashed with its entry for Mechanical Computers. I also separated the entry pointing at analog computers from the "Gears, levels, dials, etc." list as analog computers can also be electronic, hydraulic, etc. p.r.newman (talk) 17:12, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Tronics

Should spintronics and atomtronics be mentioned here? Paradoctor (talk) 19:51, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

More than 10 years later, there are even more "tronics": Orbitronics uses the orbital momentum degrees of freedom of the electrons in solid state systems Gunvlad (talk) 22:11, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

links to other wikipedia pages

Physis Physis

this is a general article with high importance. i think wikipedia already has pages dedicated to many of the subsections. we can either copy paste parts from the intro's articals or at least use the sources. its not great but its a start becuase the current state of this artical is pathetic. (it's half empty!)

we need someone to get this done.

thoughts?

Spaghetti sorter

Does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_sort deserve a mention in this article? I think so. -- Ramzi ~2026-35878-68 (talk) 04:05, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
