This is a follow up video. For the small steam engines, I moved the pipe partially out of the beam BECAUSE these small engines do not consume the steam fast enough and the hose pops off. This trough alone is much better for preheating.

This is the second video with the 55.7″ Parabolic Dish. The water boiled in 90 Seconds from 50F. The container is a Venom Energy Drink made out of thicker gauge Aluminum. I added some black paint to the back but kept the from because it is a cool design. The drink was too sweet for me:-) This dish was slightly damaged so I softened the dents and corrected the surface. This dish is operating at full strength even with the slight damage. It was like that when I got it. I decided to test this one incase something happened that way I did not damage a near perfect dish. This one also has a center hole for mounting.
