Steampunk 1896 Henry Decimator ion gun

[justanormalguy34]

looks like a hairdryer

[enganear]

@justanormalguy34 - What a coincidence! I have thought many times that a hairdryer looked very much like a futuristic weapon.

[mentalistik309]

 that's what nerf!

[MrDoomdredd]

I like it a lot man. Steampunk is awesome.

[xr37alex]

Looks like my Nerf gun!

Mars: the desolate wasteland of purma (dune 9)

The iron duke of starbeam centre knew no fear. The streets were littered with abandoned hovercars, most of which had been commissioned as hog fodder In the agrarian wester pods as an after thought. Decimator guns were sought by alien hybrid and neo caster sergeants on velvet coated horses.

Only the hardiest sumpot gatherers refrained from shooting looters from the nebular region.

This gun was found there.

[enganear]

@rocketjunkie88 - LOVE IT!!! Someone understands!

[rocketjunkie88]

@enganear he he. i think your space guns are very convincing and beautifully made.

[TheSgtJellyfish]

next cod zombies raygun?

[1965guitarboy]

you have clearly copied my design.

[TransgenderForLife]

Those are high voltage telepathic lamps?? :O

[TheJurkans]

Looks like a nerf gun nerd :D

[MrTechnoman999]

what book is this from

[enganear]

@MrTechnoman999 - Interesting question! I think every committed steampunk is either working on a book or seriously considering it and I am no different. That said, this particular prop was not inspired by any written publication, just my fanciful imagination and the pile of parts in front of me at the time.

[MrEdster1919]

CHRIST,,HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE ON YOUR HANDS,,

[enganear]

@MrEdster1919 - LOL, not nearly as much as I would like to have.  30 videos in the space of two years is not a huge investment of time. One makes time for the things one enjoys.

[kylecan210]

is this a hair dryer attached to a nerf gun?

[enganear]

@kylecan210 - no hair dryers were harmed in the creation of this prop. :) The base is a Nerf Dart Tag toy gun.  I added the finishes, the faux vacuum tubes, the handmade gauge, and I removed the pump handle top make room for the vacuum tube plate. Even the rear vents are original Nerf.

[ncscmassive]

That sucks

[enganear]

@ncscmassive - Thank you for your thought provoking and insightful comment. I am hopeful that your eloquence will only increase as you reach puberty. Best of luck to you.

[w0mblemania]

To all those people who keep saying "omg it's a nerf gun"...

What gave it away for you? The big NERF logo or the fact it looks like a nerf gun?

Of course this is a nerf gun. It's a REPAINT. One of a SERIES of nerf gun REPAINTS.

You are NOT a genius if you manage to work out that this PROP is based on a toy.

[the4mustashkateers]

typo I ment nerf gun XD!!!

[the4mustashkateers]

wow thats just a nerd gun!!! :|

[CognitiveNetwork]

This is very good concept art, the basis for any technology, you always start with an engineering drawing. Now just research the technology, harvest information. Actually coming up with the idea, is half the plan.

[OreiZlatan]

You mean its a toy? Nice.

[tuks859]

nxt time, make a video where you actually fire the thing!

[enganear]

I find it interesting that few people read the description or comments. This is a steampunk prop. Search steampunk here or wikipedia and you will find a large, educated community totally in to Victorian era science fiction. Broaden your horizons beyond the video game screens!

[Arpepaj]

looks like a nerf gun to me

[URMIN3000]

што это было ????

[marblemusicstudios]

a painted nerf gun. that is what it was. what a rip.

[w0mblemania]

@marblemusicstudios Maybe you should ask for your money back?

[dougspair]

I'd be more impressed if the quad quartz-envelope infrared/photon generators were illuminated.

[Primatenhirn100]

nice paited nerf gun ^_^

[darkmaddness1]

Go nurf or go nothing

[codymannthedestroyer]

you should sand off the nerf logo...

[enganear]

@codymannthedestroyer - LOL, I sanded, filed, and even mauled it with a soldering iron. It kept showing up through the paint. It is not really visible in real life, the camera seems to bring it out.

[marxdarx]

@enganear lol that's a often modded Nerf gun, the maverick. I did this years ago.. had the same issue with the logo. I ended up making a brass plate to affix over the spot. Engraved it myself. Although I like your overall design more.

[enganear]

@marxdarx - This is actually a Nerf Dart Tag gun, see my channel for the Maverick/Gatling pistol mod I did.

[marxdarx]

@enganear Also I plan as my next project to mod a air-soft rifle. into a steam-punk sniper plasma rifle.

[enganear]

@marxdarx - cool, please post a video!

[wootimfunnierthanyou]

explain to me why you made a FAKE martian gun and posted it on youtube is there something wrong with your head

[marxdarx]

@wootimfunnierthanyou Im guessing its because he couldn't find a REAL martian gun of course. Why give up when you can make it yourself?

Really, why complicate such a simple concept? The ones I find really "wrong with their heads" are the ones who dis or hate on the ones who create art. Without the artistic talents of prop makers, you wont have movies. Think on that, little one.

[Brootalak47]

nice nerf gun lmao

[writesprotected]

My comment was a snarky reaction to the comments pointing out that it was, in fact, not a real martian gun.

My collection of rare banana martian slug weaponry will have to remain top secret until such time that it is more... Existant

[w0mblemania]

The vent on the rear is a great touch.

Those valves are SCREAMING out for some LEDs and coloured gel...

[asakapalozer]

240p we meet again !

[writesprotected]

so wait, it's not really from the martian slug invasion? and to think I was interested as a collector of memorabilia from that period of history. I suppose I'll have to keep looking so I can complete my set

[enganear]

@writesprotected - Please forgive me, I did not mean to deceive a true collector. I would love to see a video of your collection, thanks for posting.

[PresentingHilarious]

@MultiMango72 when they make a replica of the righteous bison.... that would be fucking awesome.

[rudebwoyiceman]

dud that is a Nerf foam gun with spray paint, a few car lightbulbs and some random pressure thing

[enganear]

@rudebwoyiceman - Well of course it is.  Did you figure that out all by yourself or did you get a 12 year old to help you? It is a steampunk prop for use at steampunk events and sci-fi conventions. The "pressure thing" is a faux gauge I crafted from a PVC pipe cap with a polycarbonate lens and a face printed from a CAD program.

[tnaglassworks]

@enganear tire pressure guage would be easier?

[w0mblemania]

@rudebwoyiceman You mean to say it's not really a rapid fire heavy ion pistol? For reals?

Maybe you should report him to the FBI. Or DEA. Or NRA. Or KFC.

[ArtymusPrime]

lokas like the thunder gun scaled down

[US37mmGunner]

Nice work!

[spinydeath]

its a damn neft gun

[PresentingHilarious]

@spinydeath good one

[supermarioguy100]

cool



[colbytheAMAZING]

why dotn we have real weponry like this in real life.... oh wait we do haarp lazer artilalry systems... used in ww2 ther elike orbital air strikes with the power of 4 horoshimu atomic bombs... the army still uses them today to blast meteorites but last time they used it it maked the hati earth quake :l

[ParkingSucks]

@colbytheAMAZING are you retarded?

[DeltaTone40]

Awesome

[Fetusash]

why do you exist?



[jochemlol]

@Fetusash Cause without people doing awesome stuff like this, the world would suck harder.

[jochemlol]

Is it semi auto?

[enganear]

@jochemlol - Umm, I suppose so.

[jochemlol]

@enganear Flywheel/Motor or just click and fire?

[enganear]

@jochemlol Pulling the trigger increments the barrels.

[jochemlol]

@enganear EPIIIIIC!....Yet...Making my NERF Maverick semi-auto with compressed air, then putting the compressed air thing in a steampunk backpack thing...Sounds way more awesome.

[enganear]

@jochemlol You would be better off using the Nerf Rapid Fire 20 for your purposes than the Maverick. The RF20 has automatic mode built in and runs on compressed air, just needs a more substantial reservoir for compressed air. This could be done with paintball parts suitably steampunked for a very cool package. Converting a Maverick to full auto would require a machine shop and much time. There is little room inside there. Thanks for your comments!

[jochemlol]

@enganear Can you hold it in one hand and does it look so awesome as the Maverick? :3

[jochemlol]

And for a steampunk backpack thing i was rather thinking about an old....Dunno how you call it....Thing you make fire in...

[enganear]

@jochemlol - Google images of Nerf Rapid Fire 20. It holds 20 darts. I think you mean boiler?

[jochemlol]

@enganear Prolly.

[jochemlol]

And Rapid Fire thing is obviously pump action..Don't like pump action...And don't like the shape.

[enganear]

@jochemlol - It does not need the pump if you have a backpack reservoir. It could be full automatic for 20 shots. I plan to steampunk mine one of these days... I think it has lots of potential.

[rusurazvan]

is that a hair dryer?

[enganear]

@rusurazvan - Nerf dart Tag

[matthewgroen]

Fallout 3 and Unreal Tournament GOTY mix, lol

[instructablesdinky]

lowl my real name is ion, that was the only reason i watched this ^^

[TheBladesToXiic]

It looks like a thundergun mixed with a wunderwaffe from Nazi zombies.

[soixe1997]

so many steampunk guns are made from nerf......

[psychopathicfish97]

the only difrent from the nerf gun is the vent an the back and the carlights on the top :P

[enganear]

@psychopathicfish97 - Actually the vent is also part of the original Nerf gun, but the gauge is not.

[evilrobotstudios]

@psychopathicfish97 this isn't a nerf gun, its obviously a... a... what the title says!

[psychopathicfish97]

@psychopathicfish97 thhi i just watch random vidios on utube... -.- but pleas check out my channel :P

[Herobrandon]

Nice nerf gun

[envolopee]

sick nerf maverick

[jochemlol]

@envolopee NOT a maverick....Maverick isnt dart tag...But N-something...And has WAY less ammo.

[iMakePwnography]

lol is the base a nerf gun? i noticed it looks alot like the nerf dart tag gun and if u tricked it out great work

[enganear]

@iMakePwnography - Yes, the base gun was a Nerf Dart Tag gun. Good eye!

[corn501]

@enganear I KNEW IT!!!



[Darthmagnet]

jeez, how many vacuum tubes do you have in your inventory? Where do you get all of them?

[enganear]

@Darthmagnet -- LOL! I have had electrical engineers ask me the same question. I actually re-purpose used headlight bulbs that my local Advance Auto saves for me. I carefully remove them from their bases and remount them. For some applications I light them from the bottom with LEDs. Thanks for watching, subscribe to be notified of future submissions, much more on the way!

[Darthmagnet]

@enganear Ok, that makes sense. I'm a guitarist and I know that tubes are precious. Tubes can be pricey.

Cool stuff you got posted keep it up. I am working on a from scratch steampunk gun. I will post when it is finished. It's gonna be a doozy…

[enganear]

@Darthmagnet - Cool, I subbed your channel and look forward to your post.  I cringe whenever I see a real vacuum tube sacrificed on the steampunk alter. Some people cut down cigar tubes for this. I will be showing my gadgets at the Steampunk Exhibition that is part of Dragoncon 2010.

[enganear]

@Darthmagnet BTW, this particular gun is on display at the Davenport and Winkleperry Gallery in Pittsboro, NC and will not be at the exhibition.

[frogzard101]

prolly the coolest tihng i have ever seen.
