Here's an update on the project:
Attaching the copper collector pipe.
In action.
Pumping out steam!
Attached hoses for water heating mode. Unfortunately the plastic connectors I used melted. (Like that was unforseeable!) That drum you can see I have insulated and am using as a small storage tank (just make your shower rather quick!)
I'm toying with using a "Worm Drive" ie a big thread. Not sure if it's going to work. May end up using a cable instead. I'm thinking of using a windscreen wiper motor to drive it.
Mounted on stand to assist with pivoting.
