If not, you could always try to build some steam powered bagpipes. ;-)

Lotsa work, Ed. Lookin' good. It looks like you have quite the
investment in solenoids, too.

Bagpipes were invented to scare the enemy on the battlefield. Adding
live steam to one would make it even scarier. I think Ed might be the
only one on the group who could accomplish that task, and do it with
style.

I'm sorry, sir, but the terms "bagpipe" and "style" cannot coexist in
the same paragraph, let alone sentence or document.

Well, until I heard this. (About 1:30)
