It could easily be powered by steam though. You do realize having a steam engine might not be the best idea when you are having a demonstration in what is obviously a small place with a lot of people, right?

brasspunk just doesn't have the same ring to it

well if you think about it a brass bell seems to ring quite well compared to a steam one

either way steampunk doesn't mean you [i]have[/i] to strap a pressure cooker to everything for it to fit in the genre

all about the overall visual aesthetic.

Which can easily be replaced by a man turning the handle therefore giving him time to explain how the thing works and what it does in every instance.

Surely you can see that it is quite trivial to attach a steam engine to the crank the guy is turning.
