will add commentary a little later when I have time  :thumbup:

Darren:
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:

Brass_Machine:
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?

sbwhart:
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

Bernd:
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
