Homemade steam boiler update

i decided to change the design of the boiler to hold more pressure and make it more safe, it now has a home built safety valve and a fusible plug.

i put hot water in from a kettle for the video

and im still deciding on what engine to make, maybe a double acting slide valve engine....that would be awsome!

@pow0006 take a look at tesla turbines.

Concept proven. A working Accucraft or equivalent small-scale boiler has a flue running through it to allow the flame to enter one end of the boiler and the exhaust to be updrafted from the opposite end; such a set-up is perfect for propane or butane as is, and can be adapted to coal with a firebox and grate. Now for a syphon for on-the-fly water replenishment....

How about a whistle for that boiler, mate! I like the way you talk, too. Some guys have cool accents.

Trick is the boiler uses, A valvles pulse jet type housing,andDeisel typeThemistat too individualy open and then close each boilers feed water line with temprature fuctuation as the water coming in to the boiler will temporaraly cool each tube,

The boiler breaths and burns like the jet but make heat and steam rather than being tuned for thrust.

Your concerned about safety when a bike tire holds up to 60 psi lol. Copper would have been fine to hold the pressure instead of an old fire extinguiher

Nice work, keep us updated on how it drives a steam engine and for how long it'll run on your water/steam supply.
