Maker Faire Bay Area 2025
Solar Surrey and Steam Motorcycle
Home: California
- the Steam motorcycle is hand made, and runs on propane to generate steam to drive a see through steam engine. The result of much experimentation, it rides smoothly, speaks up when the throttle opens, and even has a steam whistle! - The Solar Surrey is a robot horse that draws an amish surrey (with a fringe on top)! Driven entirely by solar power, this exhibit goes where the horses take us.
