The Soviet Computer Made of Water — Forgotten Genius of WWII

The untold story of the world’s strangest computer — built not from circuits or code, but from water. Before silicon, before binary logic, engineers fought a hidden war of mathematics. In 1936, Soviet engineer Vladimir Lukyanov created the Water Integrator — a hydraulic analog computer that used pressure and flow to solve the hardest equations of the 20th century. During World War II, it helped Soviet engineers model heat, blast, and shock; in the Cold War, it became a national tool for industry and science. This film reveals how a machine of glass and gravity anticipated the modern computer — and why its ideas still power the digital world today.
