Culminating a year-long project, [Usagi Electric] aka [David] has just wrapped up his single-bit vacuum tube computer ... he notes that plenty of vacuum tube computers of the era used silicon ...

They made the amplification of signals a reality for transatlantic telephone cables (and transcontinental ones too), they performed logic for early computers, and they delivered that warm fuzzy ...

A vacuum tube is just that: a glass tube surrounding a vacuum (an area from which all gases have been removed). What makes it interesting is that when electrical contacts are put on the ends ...

It could perform a million logical operations every second, still not quite as fast as the vacuum tube computers of the day, but pretty close. And best of all, it operated on less than 100 watts ...
