--- Quote from: John Hill on May 04, 2009, 05:03:09 PM ---Nice work David It is a pity about the condensate and I realise it would not be a good idea to build an injector to put that oil contaminated water back in the boiler, so scrub that idea. But how about reheating the steam/water before sending it out the funnel? I am thinking there may be room to route the exhaust pipes through the 'firebox'? --- End quote --- John, The condensate now drains out of the collector in the chimney base, into a collector tank. Since installing the plastic pistons, it is clean enough to pour back into my boiler water bottle & re use again! :thumbup: More to follow........ David D |

David, Did I see a compressor from a refrigirator as an air supply to the engine? :clap: They do make nice little quite compressors and vaccum pumps. Bernd |

Bernd --- End quote --- Yes Bernd, That one is from a small home dehumidifier. It test runs all my engines, no problem. Usually....... At first assembly of this present build, it couldn`t turn the engine over. ::) Now it fairly flies! Proving the efficiency of each one of the improvements. :thumbup: David D |
