There are 2 bases available to print: ✖️ Multiplication and ➕ Addition.
📐 This mechanical calculator operates using a planar hinge mechanism involving symmetrical isosceles right-angled triangles. The hypotenuses of these triangles slide along number lines, while their vertices are connected, forming a hinged rhombus. By placing the sliding points on different integers, the calculator determines the midpoint of these integers to display the results. This model is based on the expired “educated monkey” patent from 1915.
