Heron was a Greek genius living 2000 years ago. this is a mock up of the first ever steam engine. It was jet powered and not very powerful but given time could have predated the steam train by 2000 years

Walking Men from Michael Chaikin on Vimeo.
this was originally called "three men taking the piss" and made in copper about 17 years ago mocking people locked into being prisoners of conformity. However my view has softened a little since.
