i hoped for a gameboy you could play counterstrike on…
I’d be pretty awesomely impracticle if somebody built that all into a portable device.
Back in college, I wanted to make a gas-powered calculator. I imagined a hush coming over the class as the professor passes out the final exam. Then, sitting in the back row, I pull out my calculator. It’s powered by a little model airplane engine, so it makes quite a racket. The 2-stroke fumes drift over the class.. every time I press a button, the little engine drops a few RPMs as it struggles to provide the additional juice for my massive calculation.
Ok, maybe it was more to blow the curve. Never built it. I did come close to building a gas-powered bicycle headlamp (my friends were trying to make the brightest lights possible), but stopped the project when I burnt up my generator.
I would also like to point out that this was hacked together by Casey, a 15 year old steam wiz kid :) The steam engine is a Jensen, nice little power plant :)

i think a steam powered electric stove would be pretty cool. there, free idea. somebody run with it.
Most of electricity here comes from nuclear plants. So yes, my electric stove is steam powered, kind of ;)
