  • Three dimensional random number generator
    Patent number: 8448945
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating three dimensional random numbers using three separate number generators for the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis. The present invention aims to further randomize number generation making use of the human intuitive sense. The number generators for each axis are the same apparatus. The random number generator apparatus makes use of disks that rotate at different rates with digits that are evenly distributed in a radial fashion. A reading sensor scans digits at certain positioned when a user intuitively triggers for a scan.
