A turing machine made out of lego

Seems to me like some great work. The machine is slow, 15 minutes to get the reverse of a binary string of 3 digits. But hell does that look good !

Didn't Volkswagen make a Turing model?

Cool, his work at Bletchly Park was all destroyed but he would have never guessed to be remembered in lego!

Bletchley Park was Da Bombe.

Well then I thought the D.C. spy museum but I doubt they'd let the public type on it.

Anyway those CIA guys are spooky.

I've been there, have a coffee cup from there. Yes they have one, no the public, me included, aren't allowed to type on it.

Bletchely Park is a pretty awesome place, that machine ripster posted is awesome to look at.
Pretty insane lego, puts to shame anything I ever did
