Mow the lawn /and/ get a free steam bath, sounds epic :D

Very good. As a professor, I do like what you did. A full conversion of a gas engine to steam...Excellent Job. Personally, I love stationary steam engine. Charge a battery with a 12 volt car generator attached to your steam engine...and then connect the battery to an electrical motor to do some work with it. You can use your lawnmower better !!!

@doubleboost It eats a piece of kindling every 15 seconds. However, when I still had this boiler on it with a heat reflector on it I think it was quite a bit more efficient but still ate more wood than a p**nstar.

sweet mower! did you just fix the cam to allow it to run on steam? and is that a propane fueled boiler?

@ivankoran Its running on wood. I had to make a whole new cam and modify the con-rod. It has 12 M of copper piping now and a new motor. I will run it on saturday.
