  • @Amazingmandan333 An induction heater for this project is by far not the best choice, plus who wants an expensive high teck heater on steam engine, kind like putting a blackberyy in a wineo's pocket.

  • I need a sight glass, I went dry and over cooked my connections, i brazed them instead of silver solder, worked much better this time, it's all about trial and improvement

    look for a camping stove for fuel, a small propane one is cheap to run and easy to get fuel, and adjustable flame,

    if you build a boiler holder try to incorperate a safty cover if the bottel was to fail, and remember after many heating the tank can fail, please post my video if you dont mind,

    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

  • @ismokewead420 faster than 500 rpm that is slow more like 5000 rpm at 250 psi

  • you might wanna be careful, you might have a safety valve, but 250 psi of steam coming out of that valve will launch that contraption or even worse, spin it at 500 prm...steam is DANGEROUS if handled poorly...

  • Induction heater for the boiler would make it work a lot faster and be cleaner.....Plus, it would look super-baller.

  • Safety valves for boiler, hot water heaters, etc. have a BTU Rating. Basically, how much energy can they release. If your fire puts more energy into the system then the safety valve can handle then the safety valve is useless. The contraption could still explode. Read up on this.  Do your math home work and maybe some day you can be a mechanical engineer...

  • that safty valve looks like a smoke stak:)

  • adjustable safety = bad news in my opinion.

    Adjust it wrong and you have a mighty big bomb there.

    But you know that.

  • How about a fire extinguisher. Be safe please.

  • when is the next episode coming? :P
