More From Steampunk Crafter Jonathan Alberico: Hand-Crank Lantern, Lightning Gun
by Susana Polo | 3:19 pm, February 28th, 2010
Earlier this month, we featured a couple of steampunk inspired weapons crafted by the Colorado based artist Jonathan Alberico. Alberico now has two more devices to share, a shoulder-mounted hand-cranked lantern (pictured above), and a lightning gun, painted by Jamie Walborn. Both are available on eBay.
Videos after the jump.
The lightning gun, in a blow to aspiring mad scientists everywhere, does not actually shoot lightning. It does however, do a very good job of looking as though it is about to shoot lightning:
According to Alberico, 4 minutes of cranking gets you 1 minute of light from the lantern.
