Real life Steampunk

We've all heard of the myriad dark, dirty, and foggy anime and sci-fi fictions sprinkled across their normally high-tech glistening counterparts. They go by steampunk, and they are amazingly fulfilling, portraying a world of heavy iron and chugging brass steam pistons, tons of metal slugging across the landscape and into the sky. Fanciful? Yes, but what isn't?

With that said, here's a treat for your senses:

SteamTank

Steam Walker

Crabfu Steamworks creates small-scale remote control steam powered vehicles, and they are all fantastically fun. My favorite is probably the steam walker that I've got pictured up above, click on the link, it goes to a movie that you have to see. It walks so perfectly, exactly the opposite of how you would excpect.
