Why Choose This Mini Copper Boiler?
- Exquisite Brass Construction: Crafted entirely from high-quality copper and brass, this boiler radiates a "glittering" golden shine. It’s not just functional; it’s a collectible craft piece that you’ll want to display proudly.
- Compact Yet Capable: Despite measuring just 100mm x 60mm, it holds 90ml of water, providing a generous run time of approximately 20 minutes. It strikes the perfect balance between size and endurance for desktop models.
- Safety First Engineering: We take pressure seriously. This boiler comes equipped with a dedicated Safety Valve set to release at 5kg pressure. This ensures safe operation, preventing over-pressurization and giving you peace of mind while you enjoy the steam.
- Easy Solid Fuel System: Designed for simplicity, it uses a copper shovel for solid fuel alcohol. This makes refueling clean and straightforward—just load the shovel, light it, and slide it under the boiler.
Technical Highlights: Engineering Insight
- Thermal Conductivity: The all-copper construction ensures rapid heat transfer from the fuel to the water, reducing wait times and maintaining consistent steam pressure during operation.
- Standardized Output: Featuring a standard output connection (compatible with 4mm shaft engines), it is designed to pair seamlessly with a wide range of mini steam engines available on the market.
- Vertical Architecture: The vertical design (155mm height) mimics the look of classic industrial boilers, adding a touch of historical authenticity to your model setup.

Usage Scenario: The Steam Up
You place the gleaming boiler next to your steam engine. You fill it with distilled water using a syringe. You place a block of solid fuel on the copper shovel and light it. As you slide the flame under the boiler, the copper begins to warm. Within a minute, you hear the water sizzle. Steam pressure builds. You open the valve to your engine, and the system comes alive. It’s a satisfying ritual that connects you to the elemental power of steam.
Important Tips from the Expert
- Water Selection: Always use Distilled Water. Tap water contains minerals that will scale up the inside of the boiler, reducing efficiency and potentially blocking the safety valve.
- Safety Valve Check: Before every run, gently pull the safety valve pin to ensure it is not stuck. This is your primary safety mechanism.
- Fuel: This boiler is designed for Solid Fuel Alcohol (Hexamine tablets). Do not use liquid alcohol unless you have a specialized burner cup, as it can spill.
- Note: This listing is for the Boiler Only. The steam engine is not included.
