Vladimir Sergeevich Lukyanov built the world’s first computer in 1936 that solved differential equations in partial derivatives. The amazing fact is that the machine was driven by water.
The construction company that Lukyanov worked with was unable to find a solution for the *****s that used to happen in concretes during winter’s sub-zero temperatures. To understand the thermal process better, Lukyanov researched the temperature conditions in concrete masonry.
Finally, he built the water integrator machine that could plot graphs and help visualize the thermal process.
Manufacturing plants, research organizations, and educational institutes used water computers well into the 1970s. The use of these hydraulic integrators diminished once digital computers became more powerful and convenient to use.
