Sex, steam, and steel: Ani Niow’s SteamVibe

Ani Niow (steamfuck.me) has created the most perfect marriage of the above, by creating the SteamVibe, a hand-machined steam-powered vibrator. The piece was machined out of a solid hunk of stainless steel (no easy task), and fitted with the world’s itty-bittiest Tesla Turbine (if you’ve never heard of a Tesla Turbine, check it out). It’s truly a wonderful bit of engineering- the Tesla turbine is hard to create even in larger sizes, and this one is fitted into the base of the shaft. It uses a set of smooth disks in it’s mechanism- and in a stroke of brilliance, Ani used high RPM dremel disks.

The whole she-bang is powered with steam from an as-yet-to-be-completed external boiler.
It’s is luscious itself as an object. It’s heavy in your hands (or, I assume, other places), and cold- until you turn the steam on.It’s sleek and damn sexy- 50s retro-futurism, android-porno-scifi, and steampunk. Also, shiny.

I think that perhaps this might be taking a love for steampunk a tad too far.

Fan(Bloody)Tastic. See what being horny and smart get’s you? A steampunk vibrator! Good for her though, building a mini Tesla Turbine Motor is..just nuts. Wow those things are hard to build even in large form o.o
That’s… hot!
uh, yeah, my girlfriend uses her PS2 and PS3 controller for her vibration needs in her private places, also a mobile phone with vibration function can come in handy when placed on certain female spots between the legs…. hihi…
cyberpunk or not, this is steampunk, yeah, we are punks, or cyberpunks, techno anarchists.
