Shot of the day: Elektroparovoy motorcycle
American designer Tom mechanic and Sip has built an unusual vehicle - elektroparovoy "hybrid" bike The Whirlygig Emoto. The basic frame was derived from the old off-road motorcycle Tote Gote, which established the first Sip available in the household electric, then replacing it on a more powerful engine pyatnadtsatisilny.

The electric motor draws energy from the battery and leads the motorcycle in motion. Sip first considered the possibility of installing on its steam engine piston, but later retracted that idea because of its complexity and lack of time.

Steam part of The Whirlygig Emoto is purely decorative function and is not connected to the wheels. Its basis was the old fire extinguisher, propanovy balloon with a burner and the water tank. More information can be found on the motorbike in an interview with Tom Sipa site Steampunk Workshop.
