Fortunately, there is a machine for that. MONIAC is an analogue computer with water as its medium, designed to simulate a national economy for students. Invented in 1949 by the New Zealand ...

In a similar way, water flow in a 1949 computer modeled economic processes, Klint Finley reports at Wired. The MONIAC (which stands for Monetary National Income Analogue Computer) was created ...

The MONIAC---short for Monetary National Income Analogue Computer---was a machine that analyzed economic data using, yes, hydraulics. Basically, it pumped water through pipes and tanks in an ...

he turned to a fluidic computer he built called MONIAC. The computer used water tanks to represent different parts of the economy. The topmost tank was the treasury, and altering valve positions ...

This analog computer, created in 1949, modeled the economic workings of the United Kingdom through a series of water tanks. Water flowed through MONIAC from a reservoir, representing the treasury ...

A perspex labyrinth, the Moniac is a water-driven analogue computer, a hydraulic model of a national economy. Water flows through a series of plastic tanks, gauges, sluices and tubes, representing ...
