Trinary Calculator, good idea? - Phase - 01-08-2015

I had a fabulous idea to make a Trinary calculator. Wouldn't have much use, like everything else on this server Tongue, but it would be a cool project.

Thoughts?

Sure why not, by trinary (ternary) i think you mean balanced ternary, in that case this is a good site:

You're both right.

I think it would be sweet

I say go for it. It's an interesting idea. What kind of operations do you plan on including?

I have a few trenary logic gates, and also an adder prototype somewhere.
I used signal strenght to do it, and its not larger than binary.
But i prefer higher numerical systems.
