Steam powered Apple Mac
Posted by on July 11th,2006
So, The Guardian has an article about an art exhibit of a steam boiler powered Apple Mac computer. Apparently the artist Jeremy Deller, along with his collaborator Alan Kane created it to combine the internet revolution to the industrial revolution. They also describe it as a perfectly impractical way of having a portable computer.
Of more interest to us is the engine, I’m sure: a Merryweather boiler from 1945 that was originally used for pumping water for a fire engine. It’s described as having a fine whistle, brass taps and teak cladding. Sounds ace to me!
