Dutch engineers Revatu Customs recently built a steam powered motorcycle and named it "The Black Pearl". It works the same way that a steam powered locomotive does and it looks really cool. Unfortunately at this point it can't go over 10 kilometers per hour.

Youre sitting on an oven that doesnt go faster than 10km..... While it may look good, its more than useless. Theres a reason steam power is not used for transport, and it looks like this guy found out the hard way.

The top tank holds compressed air, the bottom 'tank' actually houses a long air driven cylinder (or actuator) that's been re-purposed to provide the stroke to the rear wheel. Looks cool and technically it does work.

I've been seeing this thing pop up all over the inter-weird the last week or so.
There's a video on youtube where he actually rides it, if you can call it that.
He has to push-off with his feet to get it going and it runs out of air within ten meters or so.
