Analizator różnicowy mógł być użyty przy projektowaniu bomb skaczących, używanych do niszczenia zapór wodnych podczas II wojny światowejIrwin, William (2009-07). Op. cit. "It is rumoured that a differential analyser was used in the development of the "bouncing bomb" by Barnes Wallis for the "Dam Busters" attack on the Ruhr valley hydroelectric dams in WW2. This was first mentioned in MOTAT [New Zealand] literature in 1973. However after extensive enquiries and literature searches over the last few years, no evidence can be found that the [, nor any other differential analyser, was used for this purpose. Considering the secrecy surrounding war time activities at the time it could still be possible, but most people from that era are now deceased. Two remaining personalities still alive from that era were consulted, namely Arthur Porter and Maurice Wilkes, but neither could substantiate the rumour.".
Analizatory były także używane do obliczeń związanych z erozją gleby przez rzeki.
Analizatory różnicowe zostały ostatecznie wyparte przez komputery cyfrowe.
