Russia
In 1936, the Russians developed a computer that operated using water.
Infact verdict: Mixed (42/100).
The claim that Russians developed a computer operating on water in 1936 lacks direct evidence. The available evidence centers around Konrad Zuse's work in the same era, which involved electromagnetic relays, not water. There is no corroborative evidence from fact-checking or reliable sources confirming the Russian development of a water-based computer in 1936. This claim appears more as a historical curiosity without verified backing.

In 1936, the Russians made a computer that ran on water.
The claim refers to a Russian development, but currently available evidence does not verify this specific claim. The evidence points to contemporaneous developments by Konrad Zuse using electromagnetic relays, not water. Without any corroborative historical records or fact-check sources confirming this, the claim remains weakly supported.
