Hello my name is Jeremy and I am new to this forum and the steam world also. I received a wilesco steam kit and now I'm hooked and ready to modify and build my own creations!
my first project is a steam powered water fountain but I cannot seem to find a water pump accessory that will provide the functionality that I need. I could use my mini steam engine to power a generator and then a small electric pump but I would prefer to find a small pump that will run off of a belt. Anyone know of anything that would fit my needs? I have seen the boiler feed pumps and while they would work great size wise they are manually operated and the ones that are steam powered seem to be rather expensive. Any ideas? I just need to pump water from a reservoir through a pipe into another reservoir.
thanks for the replies in advance
