Intergalactic Airship Seed Germinator

While down at the Airship salvage yard recently pocketing..I mean "collecting" relics from some old seized sky pirate craft, I noticed something was very different looking in the back lot. Rounding a heap of old Tesla generators, I stood in awe of the hulking behemoth before me. The writing on it's hull just barely visible, but still readable. "Slipstream II" This was one of the first true Intergalactic airships, and had been an engineering marvel in it's day. Of course I had to bring back a few odds and ends..ahem! This little wonder Was made by SpaceSeed Inc. (copper tag at top of light says so :) and came from one of the crew quarters. I say it was multitasking and space saving at it's finest! Every single crew member from officer to deckhand was required to help provide food along the journey, by utilizing these lights in their living quarters throughout the ship. Instead of taking up an entire section of the craft for the germination of vegetables and herbs, you would plant a couple seeds in fertile moist soil in the little metal cup that was cradled below the bulb, and the light and warmth would do the rest. Workers would come by from the hothouse with big carts full of fresh cups and collect the spouts every couple of days. From there, they would transplant the produce to larger growing containers, and the cycle would continue. Ingenious no?......

 

 

This steampunk hanging lamp was designed by me at River Otter Widget Studios, From it's patina to the copper tag for the Spaceseed logo, this functional seed germinator just needs soil seeds and water to do exactly that! I believe highly in art that can be used, It makes it more fun. Cup is removable (see pic) for watering sprouts
