So I'm thinking a lot about steampunk, as in air-ships, lots of gears, steam technology and so on. And I have a few questions for some of my storys.
-Can someone give me some info about Zeppelins and how they operate, weight capacity and how much I can fudge that for story purposes.
-Steam engines. I know the basics of steam technology, but can someone tell me more, or tell me where to find more (good books would be a nice pointer)
-Muskets. How do those work. I know how they look and some rudiments about how they load, but I think I might be confusing them with breach loaders. Which are the guns that you put the powder in the front, then jam the bullet down the front. Or is that a muzzle loader? Thats exactly what I need cleared up.
