a few parts of this lashed up - proof of concept  well - tilting at windmills it may be . it may go bang , It may do nothing , however I want to know! the concept is moving slowly along . certainly no masterpiece of engineering but it isn't meant to be , I simply want to know if it is --- or isn't COP +1 as Prof Williamson notes. I am following pretty closely to the drawing I scribbled for you . The whole is 'cobbled up' from cheap stainless steel (apart from the retaining plates which are not internal and so for ease of working are mild steel) funnels that have been hacked chopped and introduced to a grinder once or twice , this is the ' inside + plate' a smaller funnel with its pecker chopped off ! ouch, a stainless steel bolt and washers fitted in place of the spout. The washers have enjoyed a grinding wheel until they are close to the profile of the rest of the funnel. The nut and washers have been utilized on the other side to make a solid electrical connection (The +Plate)  This is probably the most telling picture both plates are screwed together whilst gasket cement is used pretty liberally on one side of a cork gasket .a part of the funnel 'lip' is cut away to accommodate what is actually a 'stainless steel spoon handle' The little bit of pink gunk you see in the bottom of the + bowl is a little epoxy resin to ensure the washers and bolt are air/vacuum tight . The positive plate connection is brought out alongside this support and again made air/vacuum tight with gasket cement . Peter would have brought this feed out through the top pipe and into the stand however he wished to hide things I certainly do not! The 3mm nylon bolt nut and PCB standoff are used for adjustment . The inner bowl has been lowered until an ohm-meter reads a short circuit and then backed off (perhaps a 1mm or 2mm certainly no more)  Now the top and bottom sections have been joined making a vacuum tight seal. one side with gasket cement and cork - the other side relying only on cork . (so I can separate and adjust things) the snout of the bottom funnel has been cut to allow water into the chamber as quickly as possible . two needle valves have been used top and bottom along with very short pieces of high temperature silicon hose in order to control the throttle effect on either side. - (water inlet and vacuum) you can see the negative connection twisted and soldered to the bottom of the top spout. The positive plate connection has been sleeved and had some gray tape added. the blue cable tied to the top needle valve is simply to suspend the abortion into the water . I have tested the thing for 'air tight' which is clearly very important in order to test what I proposed Peter was doing. Now I must look for something big and preferably glass (so you guys can see whats going on too) and try to work out a few tests .  I'm acutely aware that Peter spent over 15 years getting these adjustments something like right. and I'm guessing the best I can hope for is an indication that I'm on the right track. In the UK Its recorded that 82% of house hold energy bills are one way or another down to 'hot water' be that for central heating or bathing and washing . I'd bet a deal of the world records higher figures than that. Its a strangle hold on folks and society in general . So much so I feel obliged to re-examine Peters work and follow this instinctive lead however tentative it might seem, It strikes me that as a graph of boiling point to pressure is far from a straight line graph unlike energy to temperature rise there must be an advantage to be discovered,well lets hope so! Peters secret has been a secret to long Kindest regards Duncan
