Thomas, a steampunk lover, coupled a Lego Technic Motor to a Jensen #75 steam engine to make a crude generator. The Steam powered iPod generator has a LEGO Technic motor, a 5V regulator circuit and a .5 amp fuse to create enough power to charge any USB device. The 5V regulator circuit is soldered in a female USB connection to power any USB device. It has is then put into a diode and a .5 amp fuse has been added to provide some circuit protection. Thomas wrote to Steampunk Workshop, “Unfortunately you can’t see the charge light on the ipod, But as you can hear, the iPod really loads the engine. I was somewhat surprise it could hack it.” More pictures below and a video after the jump.
