A quick 3d model of the frame of the MTV3

t=0 h.h So, I did a quick model with SketchUp, just to know what MTV3 will look like. Here it is: There are four sandwich-structured panels (two 5mm plywood glued a frame made with 18×40). So it will be rigid enough. They are linked with piano hinges. Upper and under caps keep the part together and […]

Turing machine V3

t=0 h.h So, our decision final: We will build a new Turing machine out of Lego. It will be the third version. Third? Not second? Yes three : The almost-machine-that-doesn’t-work, that we presented at our defense project The one that almost sailed to the seven seas. (It went to Paris, just imagine! (about 400 miles)) […]

Exhibition with the Institut Henri Poincaré

During the month of November, the Turing machine was presented in the town hall of the fifth arrondissement of Paris for the exhibition “Henri Poincare: from mathematician to philosopher / Alan Turing: from the formal language to life forms” organized by the Institut Henri Poincaré. Some pictures of the event:

Alan Turing’s Heritage

From the 2th to the 4th of July, the ENS de Lyon held a conference to celebrate Alan Turing’s 100th birthday. We were invited to present our turing machine. During these three days, the turing machine was exposed in main Hall. Moreover, we made a presentation in presence of Leslie Vaillant just before the degree […]
