Presented by Magister Aloysius VonDiesel

Join Magister Aloysius VonDiesel as he journeys through the origins of steam power

Ever wonder how steam power actually works? Join Magister Aloysius VonDiesel as he journeys through the origins of steam power, refinement of that power, and the huge influence high pressure hot water had and still has on our industrial society!

We start in ancient Rome, travel to Victorian England, and ultimately land on the shores of The New World in search of the elusive Mysteries of Steam!


A student of many disciplines, Magister Aloysius VonDiesel has spent decades in the pursuit of knowledge in such diverse fields as engineering, entertainment, illumination, and even the new sport of horseless carriage racing! As a proud Bavarian, VonDiesel has not only distinguished himself in the pursuit of the perfect brew, but helped to inform and entertain Steampunk audiences across the multiverse. It’s even been rumored that he has assisted, on occasion, the seasonal delivery of gifts and trinkets to deserving children, although these rumors are completely unsubstantiated….
