Brilliant got the makings of a highly efficient washing machine,love the steam plant well done.
There's a chap in the USA who uses a very similar plant to mix Margheritas!
Very cool! Exactly the demonstration purpose I was looking for!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll be putting a few more videos together with the different Cheddar steam plants on it.
This reminds me - one of my fellow Midwestern US live steamers has a Cheddar demo plant, complete with water tank - it has since been reworked into the first steam-driven margarita machine.
I've seen a photo of this somewhere, what a brilliant idea!
I’ve got this engine but it’s mounted to an odd drive shaft. It was my grandfathers who passed away recently and I’d like to get it running. Do you have an email or something that I could send some photos to for you to give me some guidance?
