Telecalculograph Furnace

This is the furnace portion of my steampunk PC, the Telecalculograph. The color of the "fire" is a little off in the video, in real life it is a more homogenous orange.

While I came up with the furnace idea, the basic circuit and software design were by Ryan Myers. His website on the subject is here: http://casemods.pointofnoreturn.org/cpumeter/index.html

Thanks for watching!

Are there little men in there with coal shovels?

[Jonny5rd]

Yes.  Well, there's one woman too.

Very cool! I'd like to see the rest of your "Victorian Era" PC, if you could please!

can you tell me what you used for LEDs? I'm steampunking my uilleann pipes (and adding electrical mods)

[Benadski]

Very very nice! :)

For the drive LEDs, something to taper the lighting and extinguishing would be nice, so it isn't so abrupt.

I love the load indicator. Did you just hook the 8 LEDs to the data lines? (I've pondered a number of novel uses for the parallel port as an annunciator array.)

Rigging a little whistle to be triggered by the system beep call would be amusing.

ambitious with such cool, or should I say quite hot, results

[67152]

fricking awesome..........and yes, now I want one

[sailinship]

That is brilliant. It's kinda funny how the best steampunk objects are being made by people with the most computer savvy.

I love it! Wonderful work!
