More From Steampunk Crafter Jonathan Alberico: Hand-Crank Lantern, Lightning Gun

Earlier this month, we featured a couple of steampunk inspired weapons crafted by the Colorado based artist Jonathan Alberico.  Alberico now has two more devices to share, a shoulder-mounted hand-cranked lantern (pictured above), and a lightning gun, painted by Jamie Walborn. Both are available on eBay.

Videos after the jump. 

The lightning gun, in a blow to aspiring mad scientists everywhere, does not actually shoot lightning.  It does however, do a very good job of looking as though it is about to shoot lightning:

According to Alberico, 4 minutes of cranking gets you 1 minute of light from the lantern.
