Why don't we have mechanical computers in 2017? We can build cogs at 10nm, no?

You just learned those words and want them to be babies first post on Sup Forums, right?
Josiah Robinson
But in case this is not ironic, mems-exchange.org

Nah, I'm really curious why nobody develops that technology given how much we can shrink hardware elements.

10nm moving parts would be painful to assemble.
Luke Cox
That's it?
Build a small robot to do that or use atom needle.
Tyler Hernandez
lithography requires no assembly, you basically build the components one layer at a time, then dissolve the shit you don't want and you have the moving parts you wanted, the linked article above talks about motors by the micrometer, but i have no idea what the state of the art tech can do
Carson Evans
Also, IBM claims this movie was made by moving individual atos, so 10nm is definitely doable.

Mechanical parts fail quicker. What are you going to lubricate it with?
Angel Rodriguez
I bet they will brake down faster than you can say start.
John Morris
Can't they be made from carbon atoms? You sure parts made from a couple of hundreds atoms would break easily?
Daniel Gutierrez
who cares how fast it fails. no one would do it for functional purposes, they'd just do it because they can and why not
Justin Bennett
for you
Brayden Adams
...
Wyatt Cooper
Because moving parts break.
Cameron Taylor
because its a shit idea. gears fucking suck. If I could replace the transmission in my car with some transistors you can fucking bet Id do it.

>I don't into power consumption
>What is cooling?
>lmao small wheels lol
no
Logan Sullivan
Sad
Jacob Wright
For you.
Jacob James
its sad that I dont want my transmissions to fall apart every 150,000 miles?
they break like clockwork.
Sebastian White
why don't you do it then, faggot?
people dont usually do useless shit because no one has time for that

Dumb question.
Smart question is why do we not have computers made of water in 2017?
Ethan Edwards
Nanomechanics is continually researched but is currently cost prohibitive for most practical things, modern ICs have nanoscale features thanks to lithography, good luck etching a cog on a substrate
Lucas Reed
Holy shit thats cool
Elijah Reyes
I knew it was coming somehow but I'm not disappointed.
Nathaniel Rivera
You need some type of meme like a microassembler

Fluidics, including fluid logics, was a big deal back in the '60s. Very robust, vibration/shock/radiation-proof. Most logic functions (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, bistables etc) could be implemented.
Very suited for industrial controls.
The fluid didn't have to be water. I saw some demonstration setups that used gas/air.
Can't remember
Nathan Myers
how would water put things on my screen or use hardrive???
