Hello everyone, I'm 13 year old kid, and i'm in that motor head part of my life that i'm sure all people go through. I was looking up model airplane engines and this steam engine popped up...after watching it I couldn't stop, I was hooked to steam engines. I am going to be building my first basic one this weekend

seems simple...but the engine is not the problem. I want a boiler because its hard to lug a compressor around everywhere. I had a original idea to use a tin can... but after seeing the dangers of being hurt/killed I decided not to do that. So I've been scouring the internet for a safe and efficient boiler and I think I've found one, I want to verify the boiler is safe so :fan: does not happes.
The Boiler has a copper tube in the middle...which if I remember does not explodes, just ruptures. It is then covered by a heavy duty steel plate which should hopefully have warning signs before anything would be a harm
whoops...forgot to post the boiler...
