[Gibson is in the library, a few collections of illustrated steampunk books open on a table from which he's idly sketching a few diagrams.]How many of you know anything about steam power ( Read more... )

I'm not familiar with designing it or anything, but we have ships called Sand Steamers back home. The only problem with that is not having Plants to run them.

I'm not a bad driver though, if you do come up with something.

[dictated back!] bostrumite September 26 2011, 04:12:03 UTC

I'm assuming you mean something besides what everyone else here calls a "plant".

I will. Actually, if you could sketch a basic layout of the controls you're familiar with, I can incorporate that into the design.

[and forever?] thedicearecast September 26 2011, 23:34:58 UTC

Yeah. They're the major source of power where I'm from. Looks a lot like a giant light bulb.

Sure. Can't say how good of a sketch it'll be, but I can try.

[And hope that a car in this guy's world looks like what it does in hers--if they even have them. Because while Amelia does try, arguments can be made on how much she actually succeeds.]

...Huh. But it's not electricity? Any idea what the type of power is called?

Thanks. [They do, sort of. More or less. Let's just say there's a variety that includes huge tanks.] I'll see what I can do.

I know Tony Stark had been working on something steam powered before he left.

bostrumite September 26 2011, 16:57:48 UTC

Did he leave anything useful behind, like his findings?

hulloeverything September 27 2011, 17:32:22 UTC

He did, indeed. There were loads of notes. He also completed a steam powered vehicle that's ready to be tested. I just haven't quite had the chance to do so... I don't know if anyone else has had the honors, yet, either.

bostrumite September 27 2011, 18:30:04 UTC

Really? [He sounds delighted by this.] Well! I've just found someone who can drive [ draws a line] so maybe we can test it out? I can at least help test it inside the border, too.

[and here's your little AI buddy. he sounds rather excited.]

Ah Gibson, I have some good news! I found out some useful information and I would like to share it.

bostrumite September 26 2011, 17:09:18 UTC

[AI bro!]

Hey, Kite! What did you find out?

azure_guardian September 26 2011, 18:04:05 UTC

I can wish for the peices of the steam bike I would like to build. Would you mind helping me with it?

bostrumite September 26 2011, 18:05:59 UTC

Hey, that's great! You know I would - we could compare it to a lightcycle, even, see what kind of improvements we could make.

i dont know the first thing about it
but i support this idea
have you built a prototype already?

bostrumite September 27 2011, 04:00:39 UTC

Not yet. I have to decide what kind of vehicle I'd want to test out first. Any preferences?

ar0se September 28 2011, 03:14:22 UTC

hmm
what are your thoughts on rocket cars

bostrumite September 28 2011, 03:24:59 UTC

...What's a rocket car?
