I went with an old pot with a lid just cut the bottom off and welded to the drum lid with arm over and spring loaded. this works good except for standing water on top .

We used to tack that all together and we had a hole directly in the center of it for welding process. We would run a bolt thru the center hole and bolt it down to the table util the outer parameter edges were flat to the table. Then we would weld in the center and let cool. Then when we released it,we would put on the outer lip and inner chanel rings. This would then take out most other deformities. We never saw a whole lot moisture collection and for the amount of work it was, we just scrapped it. This is what the HGRS will take place of the newer machines. This steam will get sucked out before it can condense and then reformed back into the system.

Hi Chris
I quote you:
āI like the looks of Vesa Mikkonenās lid (the shape not the material).ā
You do not like stainless steel for the construction of gas generators?
What is a problem?
Have I understood what you meant?

Stainless is fine. I donāt usually use it though, because Iām more interested in determining the limits of mild steel. Itās much cheaper, and works fine for most purposes.
