Here is a YouTube of some test runs Its 1 1/2'' bore.a microprocessor measures and controls the water,which is pumped in from a coffee machine pump at up to 180 psi.But over the next 2 weeks am redesigning the burner and boiler.is all very difficult as there is no one in NZ to ask advice as not many people get to control a mono-tube boiler satisfactory regards lyn |

Great video. I feel like i've already trawled everything the internet had to offer on steam bikes, so it's great to see more. You'll probably get sick of hearing this question, but I have to ask; what kind of range do you get/ expect to get with it? |
