The Steampunk culture

Think of steampunk as a fusion of the Victorian era and science fiction. This is the kind of world which Jules Verne or HG Wells would have designed and lived in. The kind of innovations and designs that come out of the Steampunk stable are a testimony in themselves that it’s a forgotten world, a world which we could have inherited had steam power been used today for most of our technology. However the lack of it still doesn’t stop the steampunk aficionados to create and innovate some quirky designs. Let’s take a closer look at what these are:

Steampunk Copper USB Drive:
Made out of vintage watch gears and brass parts this copper USB drive comes in 2 GB storage. To give it some real steampunk feel there are two copper piping along with brass bolts at the end. Pretty neat huh!





Steampunk R2D2:
We bet no Stars Wars fan can ignore this! The R2-D2 droid from the Star Wars saga is immortalized in this Steampunk version. And the best part is it’s not just a show piece, it’s a beer barrel! Best of both worlds in one combo!






Steampunk Mouse:
Wouldn’t you want to use and more importantly show around a mouse this fancy? We sure would, anyhow a steampunk version in place of our regular mouse is all we ask. Looks like an offspring of an electric shaver and a mini toy tank though!


Steampunk Laptop:
This is all we wanted next a ‘steampunked’ laptop! Inside a glass encased Victorian themed piece of wood sits an HP ZT1000 laptop. From the inside it’s a sophisticated machine but from the outside it can be mistaken for a jewel






Steampunk Pac-Gentleman:
If you are living in the 19th century Pacman wouldn’t be just Pacman it would be Pac-gentleman! Custom made arcade machine for an old classic game, your Steampunk collection is not complete without this





Steampunk Toilet:
Well how about this? An antique toilet of the future! It’s got a control panel which has different settings to tweak. It even has a laser pointing mechanism, we wonder what for? Well maybe to point and aim and have some fun while you’re at it!
