The Chaos Machine (2)
part 2: Analogue Computing Rediscovered
Published in issue 418, October 2011
The analogue computer we set out to describe in the previous instalment was constructed from separate computation modules for multiplication, integration, summation and scaling, combined to represent the Lorenz 1963 equation system.
Correction Issued: September 28, 2011. In the circuit diagram of the differential amplifier (Figure 2a) a 60 k-ohm feedback resistor should be connected between the output (pin 1) and - input (pin 2) of opamp A2.A. The pin numbers 5 and 6 on A8.B should be swapped.
