It's just a hobby of ours to see how far we can derail threads in GD. :biggrin:

Derailed, derailed, you have riped up the tracks and nuked the train.

However, i have started the research into my new hobby, all i need now is some one with a phd in electronics and a master carpenter.

Add some copper and brass and you can join the newest hobby rage: steampunk

steampunk envisions a future that has collapsed onto a re-imagined Victorian past. Steam and clockworks replace silicon logic, brass and copper stand in for titanium and plastic, and airships replace spaceships.

Unlike other speculative-fiction genres, steampunk enthusiasts are not simply content to read its fiction, or passively consume its media. Today's steampunks don't want to just watch the movie, they want to build it, play in it, live it.

Probably expensive!

I think the biggest expense would be time.
Most of this is done by people at home on their own equipment.

Much of the copper and brass comes out of a rattle can. :cry:

I see I got here too late, was going to suggest a solar water heater.
