“You really are an enigma.”…….WTF?!?! No I’m not, I’m an open book with some pages marked and taped up edges.:)

This is the varmit that has kept me from my tumblr duties. His mom was hit by a car and he found his way to ask us for help.  Lucky thing I work at a veterinarian’s.

Tesla - From Faust to Master of Lightning

Pictured above is one of Nikola Tesla’s original induction motors, a marvel of invention that harnesses alternating current to create mechanical power. The term “world-changing invention” gets thrown around a lot, but this certainly qualifies.

But its inspiration has an unexpected genesis. One day, while walking through a park in Budapest, the young Tesla was reciting a poetic passage by heart (one of his many talents). From Goethe’s Faust:

The glow retreats, done is the day of toil;
It yonder hastes, new fields of life exploring;
Ah, that no wing can lift me from the soil
Upon its track to follow, follow soaring!

And as the sun set that day, with its glow retreating, Tesla is said to have drawn the design for the induction motor in the sand.

Creativity, scientific or otherwise, is nourished by diverse influences. Keep your ears and eyes open.

Metal Insect Sculptures by Elizabeth Goluch

Elizabeth’s lifelike insect and spider sculptures incorporate metal, gold, silver, enamel, and a little slice of steampunk. You are highly advised to check out her website to see all the amazing details I couldnt post here, as most of her clockwork bugs have movable parts and secret compartments that reveal hidden flourishes (the Dragonfly, for instance, hides a dragon beneath its wings while the ladybug houses a tiny house inside of it. SO GO LOOKS).
