The nameplate in the video attributes Steampunk Voyager to Forrest Burnett, who otherwise seems to be a bit of a ghost, online. I’m not even sure this video was posted under his YouTube account, since there is different user forrestburnett with a channel that seems to be documenting original kinetic sculptures. In any case, it’s beautiful work.
If anybody has a better link for Forrest, please let me know, below.

Very nice, obviously based on a real steam engine by Wilesco:

The machinery built around it is just awesome.
Aww man, wish is was under steam!
