Computing with planar toppling domino arrangements

Stevens, William

Abstract

A method for implementing Boolean logic functions using arrangements of toppling dominoes is described. Any desired combinational function can be implemented. A circuit constructed using this method has no timing or order constraints on its inputs and requires no out-of-plane bridges for passing one line of dominoes over another. Since
it is built using toppling dominoes, a circuit can be used only once.
