Gotta love a music instrument described as having the property, “internal combustion.”

Since a steam-powered organ would be external combustion, what if the working medium wasn't water vapor or hydrogen, but alcohol vapor. Then you could have a dual-combustion organ.

(also remember hhgttg's disaster area)

Someone apparently once built a 200 horsepower steam-powered trombone:

I hope Benn Jordan makes a video on this subject (no sarcasm, he would do an excellent job of it).

Look Mum No Computer already has: https://www.lookmumnocomputer.com/flamethrower-organ/

Somewhat related, calliope: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calliope_(music) (also listed in the article).

Not quite the same thing, but I'd love to see the Large Hot Pipe Organ live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oceb7Uf4ucQ

It'd be interesting to stress test that thing with a Solfeggietto or some equivalent.

I’m not sure what I expected, but I was thinking this would be some new Android device.

Not an Amazon Fire phone?
