The Imaginary Engineer – Karl Hans Janke's Flights of Fancy

All the links in the article are dead, and not captured by the Archive, but I found a gallery of 3435 (!) of his drawings:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;deutschefotothek.de&#x2F;ews&#x2F;ete?action=queryGallery&amp;index=personen_koerpers&amp;desc=%22Janke,%20Karl%20Hans%22" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;deutschefotothek.de&#x2F;ews&#x2F;ete?action=queryGallery&amp;inde...</a>

Damn I can relate, I used to make crazy ass claims backed by nothing it was cringe, at least I got out of it&#x2F;know what reality is now. Not saying you should limit your imagination but reality is reality (until it&#x27;s changed).<p>Unfortunately reality is also money (does your idea actually make money)<p>Edit: I also realize there is a difference in not knowing and enthusiasm too, a kid probably doesn&#x27;t know about the thermo laws<p>If nothing else art&#x2F;sci-fi sells

Beautiful examples - reminds me of some art.<p>It makes me wonder how much of technology is driven by the need to look cool.

Is this where the word &quot;janky&quot; comes from?
