Water computer

Paulo Blikstein of MIT has created a simple computer that is run not by electricity, but by water. Made out of just acrylic and a LEGO support board and fed with a water jet, the device can do basic Boolean calculations. I'm pretty sure some wise-acre will have Linux ported to this by the end of the week.

Pictures of the device and background on the theory behind it, fluidics, can be found in the link below. Enjoy!
