Steampunk Dalek

by Chris Hardwick on February 14, 2011

I mean, how could you not want this li’l guy EX. TERRR. MINATE.-ing his way through your Victorian streets? Powered by steam and hate, this valve-tastic creation would make even Davros proud.

There should be an all-steampunk episode of Doctor Who with this Dalek.

How large is this thing and does it actually run? I mean can I fire up the Dalek and watch him role down the street?

In case anyone is wondering, THIS is how you do SteamPunk.

Add a valve to something and suddenly it’s “steampunk”? Where are the GEARS, man?

A!
DOR!
ABLE!

Nice, but the piston should be attached off centre, or it’s not going to turn the wheel.
Sean on February 15, 2011 at 12:31 pm said:

Too bad the piston design in incorrect. It should be offset to the axle
brent on February 15, 2011 at 3:09 pm said:

The wheel’s wouldn’t turn with that design
brent on February 15, 2011 at 3:10 pm said:

the wheels wouldn’t turn with that design
Joachim on February 15, 2011 at 3:22 pm said:

Fantastic! How much is it? And how tall is it? Weight?

You have to love the people who, rather than at least acknowledge it is a fine piece of work, feel the need to point out design flaws…

As in almost all steampunk it is a sculpture that evokes a feeling and sensibility rather than some kind of working marvel based on late 1800′s technology. There’s a reason that those technologies fell by the wayside.
It’s a rather attractive sculpture.
DotC on February 18, 2011 at 11:54 am said:

Looks like it even has a chimney sweep attachment. Super Steampunkarific!

gak I hate steam punk
Dave on March 7, 2011 at 4:49 pm said:

Brent is right. It will not work with the drive piston connected direct to the axle. It has to be offset.
Dave on March 7, 2011 at 4:53 pm said:

Sean and Brent that is. It is only cool if it works unless you live in la-la land.
Mai on March 15, 2011 at 10:58 am said:

Piston fail.
=Tamar on September 25, 2012 at 5:30 pm said:

Maybe the piston merely stores pressurized gas and releases it as something inside the hollow axle operates something else underneath that makes the hidden gears turn the axle and thus the wheels.
