![]() 7468 forum posts 230 photos | Chris, thats great, I thought of doing that with a pressure cooker on the S9, but my sister desided she needed it more than I did, so it headed off 40 K, but you have reinforced the idea thank you. Ian S C |

Just one question - "can you cook the spuds at the same time??" - great idea for kitchen mobiles |

![]() 7468 forum posts 230 photos | No the idea came to me from the top end, WW2 Stuart Turner two cylinder steam engine for charging radio batteries, army pressure cooker, also used for transporting the engine/generator inside it (the cooker was a little larger than Chris's one.

That is great. While I worry about if I have the right size reamer and if ENxx will be OK you make an engine and have it running. I will try and learn from what you have done - many congratulations Steve W |

You can whisk the sauce with steam engine while you are pressure cooking the food.

![]() 4318 forum posts 291 photos 1 articles | Some, but not all, cappuccino machines have a boiler. the lid contains a safety valve and there are two 'take offs'. One uses steam pressure to force hot water through the coffe, the other is a steam jet for milk frothing. The former is no use to us, but the latter is a good source of steam at a fair pressure for small engines - just put a silicon pipe over the end. They can cope with being boiled dry (having thermal cutouts) and have a design so that they cannot be over-filled, the only limitation is the relatively small water volume. I have one of these boilers, removed from its case, the only reason I haven't done anything with it yet is the need to make an (electrically) insulated container that is also waterproof. Neil |

I'd love to see the club Boiler Inspector's face when presented with these. I couldn't get the smiley to go at the end of my post. Edited By V8Eng on 11/03/2013 18:47:11 |

![]() 7468 forum posts 230 photos | Thanks for that Neil, now I know a bit more about coffee, I use a spoon of instant in the cup, have got a plunger thing for when I have that sort of coffee, the only thing I'v had to do with perk coffee was making a sort of weight thingy out of a bit of 303 stainless for my brother in law, but I'm still at a loss to know what that was for. Enough about coffee, it will keep me awake. Ian S C |
