A machine first proposed by Charles Babbage in 1837 that is considered the concept for the first general mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine contained an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), basic flow control, and integrated memory and is the first general-purpose computer concept. Unfortunately because of funding issues this computer was also never built while Charles Babbage's was alive. However, in 1910 Henry Babbage, Charles Babbage's youngest son was able to complete a portion of this machine and was able to perform basic calculations. In the picture to the right, is a public domain picture of the Analytical Engine.
What else can I help you with?
Named the computers invented by Charles Cabbage?
The computers invented by Charles Babbage were the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine. Neither was finished in his lifetime but gave him fame as a computer pioneer.
What is an analytical engine?
An analytical engine is a mechanical general-purpose computer which was designed and envisaged by Charles Babbage, but never built.
What are some of Charles Babbage goals he achieve?
Though Charles Babbage achieved many things. But Charles Babbage Does not achieve his all goals. Without completing his Difference Engine he went to Analytical Engine. He designed the first programmable machine , the analytical engine. Though he did not complete it fully due to lack of resources and money. But he was right in theory. After some the Analytical engine was finished by some computer scientists and Charles Babbage was credited the "Father of Computers"..
What did Charles Babbage invent and in what year?
Charles Babbage invented the concept of a programmable mechanical computer known as the Analytical Engine. He conceived this invention in the early 1830s. Although Babbage was unable to complete the construction of the Analytical Engine during his lifetime, his work laid the foundation for the development of modern computers.
Who invented the Analytical Engine?
Never and it is highly unlikely one will ever be made.Its inventor, Charles Babbage, never completed the plans and was unable to convince anyone to fund its construction (largely because he had frustrated those funding the construction of his earlier difference engine by not completing it when promised then effectively doing what they considered a "bait and switch" when he decided to stop work on the difference engine and offer them what he claimed to be the "better" analytical engine instead).There is no serious reason to consider building an analytical engine now as it would be painfully slow, be far larger than the largest vacuum tube computer ever built, require dozens of mechanics and machinists to maintain it and keep it running, etc. compared to modern highspeed electronic microprocessor based computers. Also much of the analytical engine would have to be designed from scratch as Babbage's drawings do not cover the complete machine.Two copies of Babbage's Difference Engine #2 were built in 1991 and 2008 by the London Museum of Science. This machine was much simpler and used fewer parts than Babbage's original Difference Engine #1 (using ideas and designs derived from his work designing the analytical engine) and had an apparently complete set of plans, making it ideal to research the question of if these machines could actually be built and function reliably using the tolerances that machinists in the 1830s were able to do. They succeeded in building both machines and found that they worked very reliably, however it also showed that the machines do not survive transportation well (but this would not have been a problem in the 1800s as they would have been constructed onsite and never moved), also a "minor" change made to make it easier to crank the machine by hand (one that Babbage would not have made himself as he probably designed it that way to limit the torque in the machine) permitted the machine to be overtorqued and breaking several carry arms accidentally.
