Automatic Crossbow
A fellow who calls himself “The Duckman” built an electrically-powered automatic crossbow. His objective was to have a usable crossbow now that arthritis prevents him from cocking each arrow, as he would on a conventional bow. The Duckman built the weapon with a magazine of 15 arrows and the battery allows him to fire 100 before replacement. I don’t see his trigger finger move while he’s firing, so it appears to be fully auto, rather than semi. More pictures and specifications at the link.

The Modern Thinker
I wanted to convey the concept of the modern electrical age with the barrage of electrical interference in our lives. So much is happening and demanding our attention that it is difficult to "think".
Lacking the physique of Rodin's "Thinker" statue, I have chosen to be covered with sparks from a Tesla coil. I am protected by a layer of foil that covers everything except my face which has a very fine wire mask. Link, Via: Neatorama
