The Chronotheric Fluxing Capacitron is a lovely steampunk gadget that crackles with blue light, appearing to be some kind of time-travel thinggum. Flickr use Absinthetic notes that it was a "prop to accompany my Halloween 2007 costume, which was a 19th century time traveler." Link (Thanks, R!)

I have been building such pseudo-science devices for awhile now. What I call light sculptures. My first Tempus Apparatus (time machine), constructed for a local art show a year or two back, can be viewed below.

Not nearly as fantastic as these amazing art pieces, but please enjoy my own little Steampunk offering.
