Tandem Propellers

LoopyByteloose

Well all this talk of a Propeller Supercomputer really is challenging to me.

It would seem that I could best get started by booting two in Tandem.
I have 5 chips coming, so I could do this right away.
And it would be an excellent first chapter of a text on this application if Parallax wants to carry this into schools.

By the time I figure that out, someone will have built the 8X8 desktop supercomputer and I might be prepared to do something with it.

I am really actracted to the idea of an educational supercomputer that will cost about the same as a PC.· Seems very affordable for schools everywhere.

I would be grateful for any proposed schematics.
Possibly with a development·a pathway from 2 to 4 to 8.

I think you might be on to something with the tandem propeller. Why not call it a "Twin Prop" and with minor changes you could have a "Twin Turbo Prop"

After all, great products need great names!

Contra-rotating... of course.

Okay, okay.
I guess I should have suggested four.
I still think that keeping it smaller would demonstrate more clearly.

Eventually two boards of four could become a 2 x 2 x 2

Still it seems that about all they are good for is number crunching and if you really don't comprehend the math, you certainly will have difficulty with finding any need.
