Steampunk Thingies

Welcome to my library of Steampunk projects where traditional Steampunk meets micro controllers, 3D printing, simple electronics and some old fashioned woodworking.

What is Steampunk

Steampunk is an artistic movement that combines Victorian-era history with modern technology and science fiction. The term was first coined in 1987 by science fiction author K.W. Jeter to describe a new wave of fantasy novels set in Victorian times.

Steampunk devices are retro-looking and they are often based on technologies that people in the 19th and 20th centuries might have imagined, and are characterized by their anachronistic nature (blatantly clashing with the time in which it is seen).

In my projects, old technologies like vacuum tubes, gauges, water/steam valves, gas lines, analog dials/meters and even flux capacitors 😊 are used (or simulated) to create strange looking contraptions that serve at least one practical purpose like being a clock, desk lamp, charging station, weather station, environmental sensor or smart home controller.
