If you like steampunk you are going to love this. This Steampunk Wheelchair Project is a work of art, other than the obvious donor electric wheel chair platform at the bottom the unit looks like it is something crazy from the past. The sound effects really top it off.

Via Adafruit and Make

“What you get when you mix an 1875 Eastlake Victorian platform rocking chair with a Permobil C300 Power wheelchair and a few trips to an antique store. Toss in screaming digital amped sound system, an event triggered sound processor, oh and a portable smoke machine!”

    Pretty clever, but I think the smoke should be forced out in puffs like a steamengine does, normal smoke when not moving and then when there’s movement smoke that is force out in puffs.
    I like the drinks idea too, although it’s probably illegal to serve drinks without a license outside the home, but rules are for people caught eh :)
