- jedimastert 8y agoFun fact, the device you're referring to was actually based on a different real-life water-based computer, the MONIAC[1]. It used basins of water, pipes, and adjustable flow regulators as a physical metaphor for the movement of money in macro-economics. I'm personally a really big fan, and I've need meaning to work up a simulation for quite some time now. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MONIAC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MONIAC
