Understanding Transistors

This is a great video, this guy has built his own computer out of individual transistors: http://www.megaprocessor.com/

And theres a playlist explaining how the theory behind it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPFl_8_ ... 9J&index=1

Nice one JB

This guy is as obsessed with transistors as we are with guitars :shock: The only problem the amount he spent.... Holy crap...

Good videos though.

Don't want to understand transistors. They either do their job or they can make a life for themselves in the landfill. End of story.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
