Cogwheels & Steam was inspired by the so-called "steampunk" movement, which describes a vision of the future from the perspective of the
Victorian era, in which modern technologies are based on steam engines and cogwheel mechanics.

The steampunk movement originated mainly in literature, with authors such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells coining the term and the idea of modern
technology paired with impressions and elements of the past.

The work describes the idea of a fantasising inventor who wants to build a flying machine. In the first part, we find ourselves in the machine
developed for this purpose, before we follow the inventor's visions of making the impossible possible in the second part. In the third part, the
adventure begins and the question arises as to whether the machine will actually take off.
