What is vacuum computer?
Typically an analog computer whose signals are represented by varying vacuum levels. One common use of these was in gasoline powered vehicles (where the carburetor supplied vacuum) and they controlled things like timing advance and cruise control. Electronic digital embedded control computers have made these obsolete.One could build digital computers that represented binary values as vacuum (1) or no vacuum (0), but I have never heard of any.Perhaps you left out a word and meant "What is a vacuum tube computer?". These were the first generation digital computers, built from the 1940s to ~1958 when transistors replaced vacuum tubes in digital computers.
What are computer tubes used for?
Computer tubes, also known as vacuum tube computers are programmable computers that uses vacuum tube logic circuitry. They were used to solve computational problems much like modern day computers.
Do vacuum tubes in computers burn out like light bulbs?
Yes, vacuum tubes in computers burn out. Transistors are much better. Vacuum tube computers no longer exist except in museums. Vacuum tube computers were originally made in World War 2 to calculate the positioning of antiaircraft guns. It was not necessary to know where the airplane was but where it would be when the explosive arrived. That was especially true when the Germans developed the buzz bomb going 450 miles an hour. When hundreds of transistors could fit in the same area as one vacuum tube, the vacuum tube vanished.
What was the first generations of computers?
The first generation of electronic computers were those implemented using vacuum tubes.
