teh bunneh Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Re: Steampunk - Source Material That's pretty sweet! Bet wearing a hat like that all day will give you serious neck problems, though. Gotta spread the rep before I can hit TKDG again though.

Captain Obvious Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Re: Steampunk - Source Material I have to agree with the video. While I am absolutely awed by some of the steampunk hacks I've seen online (computer casemods, vehicles, steam-powered robots), you really have to dig through a lot of crap with gears glued on to find the good ones. Even some of the things that are a little more elaborate than gears-glued-on are pretty pointless...what good is a steam-powered hat?

Captain Obvious Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Re: Steampunk - Source Material Look here and here to see the gears I glued on it!!! (Steampunk party pics) And your props were way cooler than gears-glued-on, GoldenAge. Your time machine looked like a time machine, not a chair with extraneous non-functioning mechanical parts.

AmadanNaBriona Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Re: Steampunk - Source Material Yeah, one of the reasons I haven't delved deeper into Steampunk is I'm not real big into the "just glue on some gears" thing either, and I don't currently have access to the kind of shop facilities I'd need to start building some of the steampunk ideas I've had. I've already made my own cannons and muskets, so I'd really like to turn my hand to something involving my hard won knowledge of pressure systems. I've got this nifty idea in the back of my head for a 6 barreled revolving 20mm pneumatic cannon with a carbide fired steam powered double action pump backpack to provide the oomph. It'd be a mechanical action, not full auto (at least in Mk1), and I think I've got a solid design to begin with, but I really need a proper machine/metal shop to build the thing.

AmadanNaBriona Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Re: Steampunk - Source Material I have yet to figure out how those Ornithopters are supposed to be powered. Moorcock more or less jokingly said "Mercurized supersteam processed by ultra-alchemy with additional 'cloud-risers'. See Alandrok Mikosevaar's Treatise on Heavier Than Air Winged Flight (Londra PTM 986). " (link) Edit: And they explode without a heat release, which is... interesting The linked thread also has some good close up detail shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmadanNaBriona Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Re: Steampunk - Source Material Darn it, now I've got it stuck in my head to build a flamelance. But I want to make a working flamelance. I'm thinking one of these things as a functional core, but I really want all sorts of hoses and tanks, so I'm contemplating designs involving a clear reaction bubble filled with water, a mechanism for adding calcium carbide to the water, a tank for storing the acetylene, and some bits for using said acetylene. Quite possibly also tanks for oxygen. I'm thinking piezoelectric ignition, all so I can do fire too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
