Step inside the world's largest working model of a computer processor

Ever wondered how a computer actually thinks? James Newman built a massive, walk-in processor to demystify the hardware. This video offers a rare look at the inner workings of a machine that turns abstract logic into physical, observable movement.

The MegaProcessor, housed at the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge, is officially the largest working model of a processor on the planet. Unlike the microscopic chips in modern devices, this version is scaled up so that you can physically walk through its components to see them in action.

Built by James Newman, the project aims to make the invisible operations of computing tangible. By observing the components as they function, viewers gain a clearer understanding of how data processing occurs at a mechanical and electrical level.
