Steampunk time-machine

The Chronotheric Fluxing Capacitron is a lovely steampunk gadget that crackles with blue light, appearing to be some kind of time-travel thinggum. Flickr use Absinthetic notes that it was a "prop to accompany my Halloween 2007 costume, which was a 19th century time traveler." Link (Thanks, R!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Not nearly as fantastic as these amazing art pieces, but please enjoy my own little Steampunk offering.

I have been building such pseudo-science devices for awhile now. What I call light sculptures. My first Tempus Apparatus (time machine), constructed for a local art show a year or two back, can be viewed below.
