Steam-powered iPod Generator

Steam-powered iPod Generator


Let us take a back seat and think of the good ol' days in the wild west where steam-powered locomotives connected people across the continent. Thomas decided to relive those halycon days by building a steam-powered iPod generator by coupling a Lego Technic Motor to a Jensen #75 steam engine. He also had to come up with his own 5V regulator circuit while soldering in a female USB connection to power any USB device. Definitely one of the cooler iPod chargers around, despite it being hot when in use.
