While not strictly Steampunk, I thought I'd share this:
Being a fan of the film Donny Darko, I took particular and smirky- self- satisfied- ironic pleasure in the industrious application of this aero-craft engine turbine as a smoke-drawing hood for a range!
When the turbines reach full throttle, the air intake is truly quite extraordinary... although perhaps a bit overpowered for general use; sucking up any errant utensils and even tiles from the kitchen floor!
Still, it wouldn't be Mad Science without its beautiful impracticality. No?
Airplane parts, to me, always have that Decco feel that I've heard others call Swingtech, or its close sister, Dieselpunk. Whatever the term, it certainly makes a strong statement!
