The Steamboating Forum

I'm thinking about fabricating a cast bronze, one-piece intake/exhaust manifold and cylinder liner then casting it in-place with 6061 aluminum. This would lighten the motorbike, yet still have nearly similar metal with a bronze piston.
I'm also thinking about building a motorbike boiler similar to this design pictured.
I can exhaust the gases out the bottom with a fan.
Any constructive advice is very welcome.
Regards,
Giovanni

I think those engine and boiler kits were sold under the name "Vesuvius" in Live Steam Magazine, but I could be wrong..

I think David Sarlan (SP Tule Princess) had one.

Correct again Wes! A fellow in Vancouver BC bought up the plans and made an attempt at marketing them [actually that's where I got the picture] but he's older than me and I guess is slowing down! Den and look at this I have his Email address [I don't know if it still works] Errol Cramer steamworks1@telus.net
