Well done, but does it work :poke: Is that a pressure cooker I see there, you could say that engines on the boil..... :ddb: And pray what is the mercury for? I have a record player tonearm that uses mercury for the electrical contacts. It's open too, no sealed. Imagine selling a product like that today. My mercury also lives in a sealed container. Funny stuff init..... :wave: |

Heck of a boiler you got there. What kind of pressure does that thing run? You are being safe as steam isn't forgiving? Got any vids of it running? Eric |

Well done that man :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: Nice bit of work, :thumbup: like the idea of using the pressure cooker to steam it, can you explain a bit more what you've done I'm very interested. Cheers Stew |

Unique design and boiler. If I'm right that gage shows it can go to 200PSI. Not very good for a pressure cooker. Although I see that you still have the rubber plug in it (about 7 o'clock). That would blow out at 20PSI if I remember right from the wifes pressure cooker. Still an aluminum pressure cooker for a boiler, that's a lot of volume of steam should it go south on you. Awaiting your commentary on the pics, should be interesting. Bernd |
