Lego Difference Engine

If Charles Babbage lived in 2006, would he have built his computer using LEGO?

Babbage's design could evaluate 7th order polynomials to 31 digits of accuracy. I set out to build a working Difference Engine using LEGO parts which could compute 2nd or 3rd order polynomials to 3 or 4 digits.

It's just too amazing. Bravo, Andrew Carol.
