  • Where does the water go after it has gone in and cooled the cylinder, would the cylinder keep filling with water?

  • The condensed water from the cylinder is ejected into the eduction tank and then drained off into the main water tank and then re-circulated.

  • The steam is just for heating up the cylinder then water cools it and atmospieric pressure pushes the piston down with alot of force

  • Almost correct! The steam in the cylinder is sprayed with water. This condenses the steam and produces the vacuum which lets atmospheric pressure do its job.
