Steve Mould demonstrates how to build logic gates and a binary adder using water siphons.

But they don't have to be! They can be built out of greedy cup siphons instead! I used specially designed siphones to works as XOR and AND gates and chained them together so they add 4 digit binary numbers.

Recommended as a fun and visual demonstration of how logic gates and binary addition work using fluid dynamics.
