Oh no Failed Inventor needs your help!
He thought it would be great to build a 70 floor super tower in the middle of Render City for the top secret R&D projects of F.E. Energy!
In all his worry about enough space for lab equipment and secure storage he forgot to buy art for his tower lobby!
His film and media crew are out documenting experiments now he is depending on you!

The Old Inventor developed his Personal Portable Portal-Compass to help him to track his way in his time travels toward the goal of saving persecuted beings in the Universe.
built orginally for our Oamaru Brickshow, which was steampunkish themed. Oamaru down here is considered the capital of steampunk, so it was fitting for the occassion. Enjoy
From the Worldofdrevermor.com website: "Dr. Evermor's Forevertron® is the largest scrap metal sculpture in the world, standing 50 ft. (15,2 m.) high and 120 ft. (36,5 m.) wide, and weighing 300 tons. Built in the 1980s, it is housed in Dr. Evermor's Art Park on Highway 12, in the town of Sumpter, in Sauk County, Wisconsin, United States
The sculpture incorporates two Thomas Edison dynamos from the 1880s, lightning rods, high-voltage components from 1920s power plants, scrap from the nearby Badger Army Ammunition Plant, and the decontamination chamber from the Apollo 11 spacecraft. Its creator, Tom Every (1938 - 2020), was born in Brooklyn, Wisconsin and was a demolition expert who spent decades collecting antique machinery for the sculpture and the surrounding fiction that justifies it. According to Every, Dr. Evermor® was a Victorian inventor who designed the Forevertron® to launch himself, "into the heavens on a magnetic lightning force beam.""
"By golly, look at it go, Branston!" the older businessman said, pleasantly surprised at the unexpected mannerism of the robot that. Branston just raised an eyebrow in scrutiny. He had to be sure of the thing they were about to invest in.
"So how do you like him, gentlemen? He's ready to work, self-sufficient, intelligent, and he'll definitely do good work in the mines," the inventor said. His partner grinned in satisfaction, sure of their creation, knowing that with this one chance, they can and will finally land their first big break. He just hoped that Branston agrees as well, of course.

Hattie: Hello, what are you doing?
Tina: I'm inventing kids. Duh! What does it look like?
Hattie: Perhaps kidnapping to start with. Then unscrupulous handling of minors.
Tina: Pah! My dear child, this is science at its best. Only this little chap didn't fit in the oven. A setback I'll admit.
Hattie: Hm. Oh, that little nipper is getting away.
Tina: Quick! Grab the tongs and get him! He'll fit in there for sure.

Carte de visite by H.H. Freeman of Belvidere, Ill. A man stands next to what appears to be a model of an engineering improvement. He may have been the brain behind the invention, and intended this image to be submitted to the patent office in Washington, D.C. Using photography for this came of age when the carte de visite became all the rage in the U.S.
I encourage you to use this image for educational purposes only. However, please ask for permission.
My build for Round 3 of The Tourney at MOCpages. Halhi141, Infernum, and Brick all gave me helpful suggestions for this build. Credit for the lantern design goes to Brick, though I modified it slightly. This was an extremely fun build. I tilted the wood sections using ball joints, for the first time. The idea of the build was to create a wacky, and whimsical atmosphere. Hence the unusual colorscheme for the build.
There's a full interior, and the elevator actually works. Also Amfridus has devised a bucket system whereby he procures water without leaving his home.
Amfridus the Inventor lives in his tower outside of Guaire. Unlike some inventors, he is very friendly. Naysayers claim his chemical experiments have polluted the stream which runs by his home, but the plentiful aquatic life seems to show otherwise. Rego and Dedan pay Amfridus a visit hoping to procure some new inventions and potions that will give them an edge in The Tourney.

L'uomo non deve potersi guardare in volto, perchè è la cosa più terribile che esista. La Natura gli ha dato il dono di non potersi vedere, come gli ha dato il dono di non poter fissare i suoi stessi occhi.
Soltanto nell'acqua dei fiumi e dei laghi egli poteva fissare il suo volto. E perfino la posizione che doveva prendere era simbolica. Doveva curvarsi, abbassarsi per commettere l'ignominia di vedersi.
L'inventore dello specchio ha avvelenato l'animo umano.
brano (444) da Il libro dell'inquietudine - F.Pessoa

I would probably be a wealthy man today if not for the cassette tape. Each of those cases holds 12 cassettes, times X cases, plus Y number of cases not in the photo = $$$. Actually I found the tapes held up very well, Maxell was my brand of choice. It was the cassette decks that always started eating tapes or died on me. No telling how many of those I went through over the years, especially the car decks! I am proud to say I managed to avoid the 8-track tape.
Another link saying even the cassette is trying to make a comeback, maybe I can buy a new boom box that works!
This funky, experimental bracelet features vintage comic art from the Adventures of Tintin - Red Rackham's Treasure. The Tintin comics were created in 1929. Red Rackham's Treasure follows Tintin and friends as they search for the pirate booty procured by Captain Haddock's ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock, in the West Indies. Tintin and Snowy receive some unexpected help in the form of a hard-of-hearing inventor named Professor Calculus. It's a lot of fun, with some submarine and diving adventures.

His Genius lives despite massive cover-up.
Nikola Tesla's prediction of a smartphone, Collier’s magazine interview, 1926:
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance.
Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone.
A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket."
Maximo Fernandez
Localidad que se encuentra al Oeste del Partido de Bragado a unos 21 km. de la ciudad cabecera, en la traza del Ferrocarril ex-línea D. F. Sarm...iento. Se accede por camino de tierra desde la Ruta Provincial N° 46 desde el este o por la 65 desde el oeste. Recuerda a Don Máximo Fernández, donante de las tierras donde se construyó la estación ferroviaria.
El señor Máximo Fernández compró al Fisco seis leguas cuadradas de campo en dos mil pesos oro. Allí construyó la Estancia “La Matilde”, uno de los mejores establecimientos agrícola-ganaderos del Oeste de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. En septiembre de 1893 el Ferrocarril del Oeste inaugura la estación. Por esta época se comienza la producción tambera, cremería y criadero de cerdos, contribuyendo así al desarrollo económico del pueblo formado a su alrededor. Luego por problemas económicos vende la estancia y se marcha hacia el exterior del país.
La Estancia es comprada por los Salaberry-Bercetche en 1904 , quienes levantan la estancia introduciendo forestales, aserradero, usina, una escuela propia, una capilla Neogótica, Panadería y un zoológico con animales exóticos. Cuenta la leyenda que la hija del cuidador de los leones fue decapitada de un zarpazo por una leona y el fantasma anda apareciendo por la capilla…
En 1942 venden la estancia a Don Francisco Suárez Zabala (el inventor del conocido producto medicinal “Geniol”). A partir de ese momento la propiedad empezó a llamarse “Montelén”. Tuvo éxito en su inicio con la instalación del vivero más importante del país, pero al fallecer su dueño la situación económica decae y la estancia se reduce. Actualmente, la principal actividad es la agricultura y ganadería.
En la década del 70 un tornado hizo desastres en la capilla del Sagrado Corazón y en la escuela dejando sus ruinas en un espeso monte. Había un hotel que también quedo destruido y abandonado.
En cuanto a la estación de Máximo Fernández corresponde al Ferrocarril Domingo Faustino Sarmiento de la red ferroviaria argentina y se encuentra a 232 kilómetros al oeste de la estación Once. Trenes Argentinos Operadora Ferroviaria presta servicio de pasajeros una vez por semana entre Bragado, Realicó y General Pico, teniendo parada en esta estación sólo en forma facultativa, es decir, el tren sólo para si hay algún pasajero que desea subir o bajar. La estación se encuentra en ruinas, no siendo jurisdicción de la empresa de transporte. Se ubica entre las estaciones de La Limpia y San Emilio.
La localidad Contaba con 4 habitantes (INDEC, 2010), lo que representa un gran descenso del 90% frente a los 43 habitantes (INDEC, 2001) del censo anterior. En mi visita del 2015 pude observar que el almacén se encuentra funcionando, que la panadería abandonada fue ocupada por una persona que estaba realizando labores de huerta y a unas personas construyendo un par de viviendas, La escuela N° 2 está funcionando y se encuentra en perfecto estado.

Arnold Henry Savage Landor (June 2, 1865 - December 26, 1924) - abandoned pavilion and soldier just outside Seoul (1891) - oil on wood - Exhibition "Painting Asia from life" - MAO, Museum of Oriental Art, Turin
Artista, antropologo, esploratore, avventuriero, scrittore, fotografo, giornalista e inventore: Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1865-1924) è una figura poliedrica estremamente interessante, che ha goduto di grande successo in vita e che, per motivi non del tutto chiari, è caduta totalmente nell’oblio dopo la sua morte. Savage Landor nacque a Firenze da padre inglese e madre italiana. Visse la sua adolescenza in un ambiente colto, in cui letteratura e arte erano passioni quotidiane. Tra i suoi maestri vi fu Stefano Ussi (1822-1901), che intuì le capacità del giovane e suggerì alla famiglia di lasciare che si dedicasse alla pittura. Partito presto alla scoperta del mondo, il giovane Henry visitò prima alcuni paesi dell’Africa settentrionale e dell’America, per muoversi poi alla volta dell’Asia: Giappone, Corea, Cina, dove dipinse centinaia di opere dal vero in uno stile 'impressionistico-macchiaiolo' di rapida esecuzione.
L'unicità documentaria delle sue creazioni appare evidente: in un periodo in cui ci si affidava già all'immediatezza della fotografia, Savage Landor ha persistito a lungo nel dipingere en-plein-air, prendendo però nettamente le distanze dalle visioni fantasiose e dallo stile minuziosamente classico della pittura di genere Orientalista per immergersi invece nel mondo asiatico reale, restituendone i vari aspetti con i tratti espressivi della modernità. Lo stile dell’artista anglo-fiorentino, rapido e conciso, si rivela infatti estremamente efficace nel 'fotografare' con immediatezza luoghi e persone che di lì a qualche decennio sarebbero completamente cambiati per conseguenza dell'incipiente globalizzazione.
Explorer, adventurer, writer, photographer, journalist and inventor: Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1865-1924) is an extremely interesting figure, who had great success in life and, for still unclear reasons, fell into oblivion after his death.
Savage Landor was born in Florence to an English father and an Italian mother. He spent his childhood and adolescence in very lively intellectual circles, where literature and art were daily passions. Among his teachers was Stefano Ussi (1822-1901), who sensed the young man's skills and suggested his family to let him devote to painting. Leaving home to discover the world, young Henry first visited some countries in North Africa and America, then moved to Asia: Japan, Korea, China, where he made hundreds of paintings in real life.
The documentary uniqueness of his creations is evident: at a time when the immediacy of photography was already being exploited, he long insisted on painting en plein air.
Although he was well aware of Orientalist painting, he stayed strictly away from its edulcorated, fantastical visions and from its meticulously classic style, preferring to plunge into the real world of Asia and portray it in a modern artistic manner.
The style of the Anglo-Florentine artist, quick and concise, proves to be extremely effective in "photographing" places and people who would have completely changed after a few decades as a result of the incipient globalization.
Saturday at 2:49am March 2, I attended an event at the Kennedy Space Center for the liftoff of the SpaceX Falcon 9 for Demo-1, the first flight test of the company’s Crew Dragon spacecraft. It was a VERY long night, but I took some great pictures to share. Met some great people and had an awesome time. I also met Astronaut Bob Springer who flew as a Mission Specialist on two NASA Space Shuttle missions in 1989 and 1990 and Bruce Tuthill, son of Roger Tuthill electrical engineer that led to an active career in astronomy, both as an amateur observer and inventor. Among his inventions was the Solar Skreen, a device used by astronomers around the world to view the sun during an eclipse.
Making its way down the town street at Beamish Museum is this splendidly restored 1905 DeDion Bouton Model-Y car, UK registered BY 509. The car is a single cylinder 6hp model.
Unfortunately, for me, the car is somewhat spoiled by unnecessary embellishments. The remembrance poppies were not introduced until the 1920's, so don't really fit here. Also, the cartoon moustache and imposing rally stickers on the windscreen serve no useful purpose. None-the-less it is still a beautiful little car.
De Dion-Bouton was a French automobile manufacturer operating from 1883 to 1953. They launched their first four-wheeled vehicles in September 1899.
The De Dion is overtaking a timber wagon and being pursued by an extremely unusual and well restored example of French motor manufacturing, a Citroen C4 P17E Kegresse halftrack car of 1934 vintage.
This marque of vehicle is widely regarded as the forerunner of today's off-road vehicles. The first version was developed in 1913 by Adolphe Kegresse, a French engineer/inventor, specifically for the use of the Tsar of Russia.
Most of these cars were used initially for military purposes. The French army alone had 1,700 P17's during their production run (1929-1934) and they were present in a number of other European armies. They were also used extensively in agricultural and forestry settings.
The vehicles were at Beamish for their 2023 Steam Gala.
