Text of the page (random words):
parts available in that era hence there s talk of telegraph relays and galvanomic piles the write up is presented in steampunk style language which if we re honest makes our brain hurt but the premise is intriguing enough to persevere as far as we can see it uses a pair of relays and a transformer to make an oscillator from which can be derived the drive for a 3 phase motor this drive is sent to the motors by further relays operating under the influence of mercury tilt switches there are a full set of hardware designs once you wade past the language but as yet it has no evidence of a prototype we admit we kinda want it to work because the idea is preposterous enough to be cool if it ran but we d be lying if we said we didn t harbor some doubts perhaps you our readers can deliver a verdict after all presenting you with entertainment is what it s all about if a working prototype surfaces we ll definitely be featuring it after all it would be cool as heck oddly this isn t the first non computerized balance transport we ve seen featured image simakovarik cc by sa 4 0 posted in transportation hacks tagged hoverboard steampunk will it work steampunk copper pc is as cool as it runs august 14 2025 by tyler august 28 comments copper the only thing it does better than conduct heat is conduct a great steampunk vibe billet labs latest video is an artfully done wall pc that makes full use of both of those properties the parts are what you d expect in a high end workstation pc a ryzen 9 and an 3090ti with oodles of ram it s the cooling loop where all the magic happens from the copper block on the cpu to the plumbing fixtures that give the whole thing a beautiful brewery chiq shine when polished up hopefully the water block in the gpu is equally cupriferous too but given the attention to detail in the rest of the build we cannot imagine billet labs making such a rookie mistake as to invite mr galvanic corrosion to the party there s almost no visible plastic or paint the gpu and psu are hidden by a brass plates and even the back panel everything mounts to is shiny metal even the fans on the radiator are metal and customized to look like a quad throttle body or four barreled carburetor on an old race car though they sound more like a jet takeoff the analog gauges are a particular treat which push this build firmly into steampunk territory unfortunately the temperature gauge glued onto the gpu only measures the external temperature of the gpu not the temperature at the die or even the water block on the other hand given how well this cooling setup seems to work later in the video gpu temps are likely to stay pretty stable the other gauges do exactly what you d expect measuring the pressure and temperature of the water in the coolant loop and voltage on the twelve volt rail honestly once it gets mounted on the wall this build looks more like an art piece than any kind of computer only the power and i o cables do anything to give the game away now that he has the case perhaps some artful peripherals are in order continue reading steampunk copper pc is as cool as it runs posted in computer hacks tagged copper pipe pc steampunk wall mounted water cooled the mohmmeter a steampunk multimeter april 24 2025 by matt varian 12 comments agatha sent us this stunning multimeter she built as a gift for her mom dubbed the mohmmeter a playful nod to its ohmmeter function and her mom this project combines technical ingenuity with heartfelt craftsmanship at its core a raspberry pi pico microcontroller reads the selector knob controls relays and lights up leds on the front panel to show the meter s active range the mohmmeter offers two main measurement modes each with two sub ranges for greater precision across a wide spectrum she also included circuitry protections against reverse polarity and over voltage ensuring durability there was also a great deal of effort put into ensuring it was accurate as the device was put though its paces using a calibrated meter as reference to ensure the final product was as useful as it was beautiful the enclosure is a work of art crafted from colorful wooden panels meticulously jointed together stamped brass plates label the meter s ranges and functions adding a steampunk flair this thoughtful design reflects her dedication to creating something truly special want to build a meter for mom but she s

is all mirrors no smoke april 15 2025 by tyler august 18 comments if we asked you to name alexander graham bell s greatest invention you would doubtless say the telephone it s probably the only one of his many many inventions most people could bring to mind if you asked bell himself though he would tell you his greatest invention was the photophone and if the prolific nick bild doesn t agree he s at least intrigued enough to produce a replica of this 1880 vintage wireless telephone yes 18 80 as in only four years after the telephone was patented it obviously did not catch on and is not the sort of thing that comes to mind when we think wireless telephone in contrast to the rf of the 20th century version as you might guess from the name the photophone used light sunlight to be specific in the original design the transmitter was totally passive a tube with a mirror on one end mounted to vibrate when someone spoke into the open end of the tube that was it aside from the necessary optics to focus sunlight onto said mirror nick bild skips this and uses a laser as a handily coherent light source which was obviously not an option in 1880 as nick points out if it was bell certainly would have made use of it the photophone receiver 1880 edition speaker not pictured the receiver is only slightly more complex in that it does have electronic components a selenium cell in the original and in nick s case a modern photoresistor in series with a 10 000 ohm resistor there s also an optical difference with nick opting for a lens to focus the laser light on his photoresistor instead of the parabolic mirror of the original in both cases vibration of the mirror at the transmitter disrupts line of sight with the receiver creating an am signal that is easily converted back into sound with an electromagnetic speaker the photophone never caught on for obvious reasons traditional copper wire telephones worked beyond line of sight and on cloudy days but we re greatful to nick for dredging up the history and for letting us know about it via the tip line see his video about this project below the name nick bild might look familiar to regular readers we ve highlighted a few of his projects on hackaday before continue reading replica of 1880 wireless telephone is all mirrors no smoke posted in laser hacks wireless hacks tagged alexander graham bell analog telephony

every smartphone and most cheap rental cars and thus everybody expects you to figure out where you re going if you want a simpler and less robust navigation experience you might like to try the rather fancy radioscout the radioscout is a build from hardlyhumanfx a group of engineers and artists that collaborate on fun and whimsical projects it looks like some kind of steampunk compass and it kind of is but at heart it s powered by gps you program the radioscout using the buttons on the front panel and a rotary phone dial to enter the latitude and longitude of your destination it then uses an internal gps receiver to compare that with your current location and calculates a direct bearing to where you want to go this bearing is displayed with a large compass like needle run by a stepper motor and you you can use it to guide yourself onwards it s an attractive build that uses lots of neat parts the team interfaced a microcontroller with a gps receiver a rotary dial and 7 segment leds for the latitude and longitude display the very real bell is neat too the whole thing is wrapped up in a brass and wooden case that would make you a star at just about any sci fi convention the build video is a little vague on the finer details but experienced makers will be able to figure out how it all works you can actually buy a radioscout if it s something you must have but one suspects the hackaday set would probably prefer the homebrew route continue reading antique style gps looks like steampunky fun posted in microcontrollers tagged brass gps steampunk steampunk factory comes to life with an arduino december 10 2023 by al williams 15 comments it is one thing to make an artistic steampunk display but capegeek added an arduino to make the display come alive the display has plenty of tubes and wires the pressure gauge dominates the display but there are lots of other interesting bits check it out in the video below from the creator the back story is a fictional factory that cycles through a multistage process it starts up with lights and sounds starting in a small tube in one corner the needle on a big gauge starts rising then a larger tube at the top lights up in different colors finally the tall glass reactor vessel lights up to start cooking some process all this time as the sequence progresses it is accompanied by factory motor sounds and bubbling processes finally a loud glass break noise hints that the process has come to a catastrophic end then the sequence starts reversing with lights sequentially shutting down the needle jumps around randomly then decreases finally all lights are off indicating the factory shutting down continue reading steampunk factory comes to life with an arduino posted in arduino hacks art tagged aarduino steampunk dual channel pov display also has nixie tubes june 22 2023 by al williams 4 comments what s a tachyscope according to daniel ross it is an animated display from an alternate timeline circa 1880 the real ones of course didn t have leds and microcontrollers the control unit looks like an old timey radio complete with nixie tubes the spinning part has blue and white leds each accepting data from one of two serial ports you can select to see data from one port the other or both you can see the amazing contraption in the video below the leds are surface mounted and placed inside a glass test tube each display has its own processor the project appears to have a pcb but it is just a piece of fiberglass with a color print on top of it and holes drilled with a rotary tool the board has no actual conductors everything is point to point wiring the base of the unit is old cookware the slip ring is pretty interesting too it uses an old video tape head d cell batteries cut up and contacts from a relay you might remember daniel from his steampunk victorian computer project including a punk teletype and a magic eye tube if you want some theory on these kinds of displays we can help if you just want a
