[QUOTE=Nikita;22049120]That's because most modern uses of electricity rely on magnetism. You can't build an electric motor without magnetism, or alternating current, which in turn at some point comes from rotating magnets or magnetic coils.
And until electrical appliances got widespread nobody really needed that much electricity anyway. For any kind of industrial usage, it's much more efficient to use fuel or steam directly.
What concerns me more is air travel. I can't imagine steampunk without airships :O[/QUOTE]
There have the more fictional parts to kick in.
I like the idea of some by us undiscovered principle of creating artificial gravitational pull which can keep things floating.
Some kind of electronic core which spins on multiple axles and sparkles and stuff.

Airships are omnipresent in steampunk settings because steam engines hardly allow lift on small aircrafts because of weight issues, while blimps and airships dont usually need the engines to achieve lift.
[QUOTE=coco911231;22049048]The Dark Cloud 2 videogame had a few Steampunk elements, and was just the second best game i have ever played.
I recommend it very much.
Seriously, this game is so awesome.[/QUOTE]

Looks cool.

My vision is augmented (Keep wearing those shades), futuristic and dark (Grimdarkless, though), internet in your toaster (Which keeps getting viruses/hacked), cybernetic augmentations (You would also like Lemon Lime), and other fun stuff.
And for that, it's awesome.

Ive loved it ever since i saw Castle in the sky and Steamboy.
Im in art class at college, in fact I finish it on Friday, woo...well, i'm failing, but at least I dont have to go to lessons haha
Really I just love to doodle, and steampunks shapes and fiddly bits are fun to spend a little time on :)
Those goggles are so awesome, you guys need to make them like I did :v:
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;22042868]This is not steampunk. They are not powered by steam. It also doesn't fall into the Victorian-ish area with their design, which is mandatory for steampunk.
This is called dieselpunk.[/QUOTE]
Victorian design.

There's your steampunk, bro. Except that wagon's powered by steam this time!
[QUOTE=Cluckyx;22048998]One of the nice things I like about steampunk is that it's logical. Whereas in Sci-Fi, you have a gun, it has a handle, it has a trigger and it shoots beamz!!! or something. That's all (it is decided) you need to know.[/QUOTE]
No, in the generally excepted form of steampunk you have a gun, it's got the barrel of a blunderbuss, 40 gears on the side, and a random tank below the barrel, and somehow it shoots lightning bolts.
I have a huge affinity towards older-style clothes. I already wear the suit I have now whenever I get the chance and I am looking at purchasing a new outfit to wear in conjunction with my current suit.
