The Gatling gun is one of the earliest known rapid-fire, hand cranked weapons. The Gatling design is a forerunner of the modern machine gun and rotary cannon. Invented by Richard Gatling, it saw occasional use by the Union forces during the American Civil War in the 1860s. Megan Kening at Etsy has taken this concept […]
Here is our second post of eight for a steampunk USB flash drive. Using classic steampunk material such as brass, cropper, glass and stainless steal gears, the Rocket ship USB really comes to live. Alex Slotzkin is based in Hawaii and has been a master craftsman for the past 30 years. Originally starting out in […]
Who doesn’t love a steampunk flash drive? Or a steampunk anything for that matter. Over the next couple of weeks, this website will post some outrageous steampunk USB products. First up, the Tesla Generator by Megan Kening from Israel. Made from materials such as copper, brass, glass and paper, this is a hand crafted USB […]
What is it about USB steampunk flash drives? Am I the only one with a keen interest in showing off these hand crafted USB drives? Could it be the material used which draws my attention? Could it be the fine detail of each device which peaks my interested? Could it be the impressive number of […]
We’ve reported on USB cuff-links before, but we’ve never seen them with a steampunk twist…and you know we love USB steampunk gear. This is a fine set of steampunk design work, with the small gears so well placed inside the walnut case. Very nice. The addition of 8GBs of storage make it usable as well. […]
Yes, we have a soft spot for USB steampunk of just about anything. Here is another design release from WWWorks aptly named “Imperial.” Like the USB Scorpion steampunk, the Eagle wraps around the tail of the USB with the LED in the position of the beating heart. What beauty. What symbolism.Brass tubing protects the inner […]
If you’ve been to this site before, you know we are a fan of USB Steampunk. We just received word there is a new kid on the block who’s doing some cool USB steampunk. This design is coined “Steampunk Scorpion USB.” WWWorks is the profile name over at Etsy and he’s done some nice work […]
I am a bit of USB steampunk enthusiast and today Etsy shopping put out a notice on a fine looking piece with a wood body and includes rotating dials. Unfortunately I’m just an armchair enthusiast and have yet to build my very own, but one day – it will come. Some say this USB steampunk […]
Here at GetUSB.info we love the USB steampunk drive. We’ve reported on at least a dozen of them over the past couple years and I’m sure we’ve missed three times that many. Today we are tipping you off to a great tutorial on how to USB steampunk your own flash drive. Instructables has a very […]
I have been a fan of USB Steampunk products for a long time. I’ve even thought about running a Steampunk contest for the most creative, but never gotten around to it. Today, I’ve come across another great creation which is 100% hand made. The construction is similar to other Steampunk products we’ve seen, made of […]
Back in June of 2009 I made a joke that GetUSB.info had a USB Steampunk award, now I’m seriously considering it. Especially after seeing this new rendition. This USB steampunk drive was made by a Russian modder. He traveled to a local rag fair [I’m assuming street fair] to pick up old clock parts and […]
If, GetUSB.info had an award for best Steampunk drive, this would get it. Set in a nice wood case, this Steampunk USB drive is riddled with over 30 mechanical parts from six different watches. Some parts are from watches that are over 100 years old. The 16GB hand crafted USB Steampunk also holds 26 Ruby […]
