The steam powered iPhone charger is complete. The good news is that it will charge an iPhone. The bad news is that the boiler I picked isn't up to the job. With that engine and load I need to hold a minimum of 47 psi to charge a phone. The boiler is only capable of maintaining about 20 psi under load. I did hook it up to my compressor and it worked like a champ. So I have achieved proof of concept. Pictures and a video below.
Here is a video of it charging a phone while operating on compressed air.
I'm not done with this concept. Now that I have proof of concept I will eventually make a mark 2 version with a bigger boiler.
Till next time
