Locked away in his Manchester laboratory, Captain Okoli wrestled with the ultimate limits on machines, limits set by universal laws of physics: could he build an engine, rather than from many interconnected components, from merely one atom?…

Captain Okoli’s Magnificent Steampunk Quantum Engine is an interactive, kinetic sculpture being shared across the world through travel and social media. The sculpture combines the whimsy of steampunk art with real-world quantum technology and thermodynamics (the science of energy). To learn more, navigate through the pages in the menu above. Afterward, please share your reactions by signing our virtual guestbook and posting with the hashtag #qsteamengine on social media!
