Since I have my gas steam engine. I need to make a boiler for it, I'm going with a monotube boiler made from 2 coils of 60' 1/2" copper tubing. The outer shell for this will be a small air compressor tank. I need some advice on what to do.
Here is what I need help on.
A feedwater pump, this boiler will be mobile so it cant be a water hose. I was thinking a hand pump converted to mechanical by attaching an eccentric.
A burner, I cant use propane but oil, wood, and any other suggestions are welcome.
I'm not a machinist, and I will need some parts made. Volunteers and any help would be appreciated.
I want to get about 120-150 psi with this setup. So can any one help me?Please mam/sir
