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'?

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,

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.

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:
