Tom Sepe's Steampunk Motorbike: Science Blended With Art

Call it human intellect or will to do the things not so commonly thought over. Tom Sepe is such an automobile engineer to have come up with a Steampunk Motorbike- a very novel concept, indeed; definitely, an original work of art and science blended so masterfully. He initially wanted to make it electric but altered his intentions later. The bike features a 15 hp motor and a stretched frame occupying the batteries. It does have a meticulously self-designed brake, rather a disc for the rear wheel.

Undoubtedly, the most remarkable aspect includes a steam-electric hybrid system which is steam powered owing to the steam boiler, but interestingly, not having any connection between the boiler and the wheels. The boiler was carved out through Tom’s drawings, figuring out the function it was supposed to perform. The steam engine is propane powered with a few leaks. Tom, iTn a light-hearted vein, refers them to be the safety valves. Sepe got inspired by an inefficient, small motor lying around his warehouse and transformed it into a remarkable work of technology. So, he certainly deserves accolades over his keen penetration into steam technology and producing a rare machine.
