The Steam Amp WIP - Steampunk Art Sculpture - Coppersteam. A Steampunk Amplifier? Why Not. This is my latest project; a steampunk tube amplifier (or valve amp if you’re a brit). I’ve always wanted to build a tube amp, and it’s been a long road to get here. I think I began this obsession almost two years ago, but just haven’t had the chance to get to it until now. What I really want to do is build a HUUUUUGE direct-wired tube amp, but I figured it’s probably wise to start small with new things. This is a simple kit to build that I bought from Tube Depot . I won’t bore everyone with too many details, I think the photos are pretty self explanatory, but a few little notes: It took perhaps an hour to construct the kit, anyone with a little soldering experience could build this thing.
I actually broke down and bought a full set of forstner wood bits for this project. The glowey-rods in the round glass window are 1/4″ blue ultra violet acrylic. The LED’s run off a separate transformer attached underneath. Damn Geeky - The geek's guide to awesomeness. MaceTech Industries recently unveiled a really awesome steampunk motorcycle based on the amazing KTM 640 Adventure, 2000 model, with water cooled 625cc single engine.
The masterpiece from Florida based Mace Livingston – this steampunk bike despite its robust looks and immense torque is still a light, mean machine to ride across the street and mesmerize all on the way. Mace and his wife have worked as a team to create the awesome steampunk bike, they have transformed the original aluminum frame of the bike with a more beefy steel tubing weld to create the single-piece unitary frame. The duo has used Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle slings for radiator guards while .40 caliber pistol cartridges are used in the tail light of the bike. Hit the jump to see more images of the steampunk motorcycle.
