While some scientists study the smallest particles and work at the creation of technically even more complex systems, others attempt to find solutions using a brilliant concept. Today appeared an article about the achievements of scientists from Michigan University . They succeeded in creating a processor, the information transmission method is air. People were interested in similar developments in the 60's, and then scientists were switched to other, more promising branches.
The principle of processor operation is technically sufficiently simple. For zero and ones answer those creating in the microchannel vacuum or atmosphere. I.e., vacuum = 0, presence of atmosphere = 1, and information advance is regulated by special valves, controlled in turn by additional cell, which are isolated from the microchannel by a membrane.
With change in pressure, caused by supply or air evacuation out of the cell, the membrane bends, shutting or opening valve, accomplishing thus information transmission for this channel. Mark Byurns considers that the processor will prove useful, first , in the sphere of micro-liquid devices, which is sufficiently simple to connect with the logical component of this processor. Even the most primitive processors many times exceed this prototype in the operating speed; therefore, development can prove to be useful only in specific industrial branches and scientific research.
