  1. @Scmbradley You could also try fludics (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidics), the use of gas or fluid stream to perform logical operations.

    There was even a simple fluidic computer, the FLODAC (gwern.net/doc/cs/computable/19). It was only meant as a proof of concept and had a memory of four 4-bit words. But it worked and could do at least one nontrivial computation.

    But nowadays, with 3d-printing, it could be possible to build a larger and more powerful version of the FLODAC — a kind of ultimate retrocomputing project.
