It's still a ponu. I'm just utilizing 4 ea .375" diameter tubes as my primary vapor tube instead of one 3/4". The initial vapor travels up these tubes and back down through the condenser, condenses back to liquid and then will hit the lower coil (not installed yet) and flash off into the secondary coil (this one is installed) and come out as product. I went with 4 ea 3/8" tube to keep it uniform and I would have had to offset the tower to one side to fit a 3/4" piece of pipe..4-3/8" tubes have the exact same surface area as one 3/4" (2.355 sq inches). Thanks again for the compliments, I'm going to try and get her sweated up by weeks end. But with summer here kinda makes it tough..
thinking inside the box is for squares....

OK, Till now I understand,
Steamchamber, primairy steamtubes (4, looking great! :D ) going on top into the condenser, into lower coil. Output throug cooiling coil.
Still the same as the ponu, but what are these big holes?
And when you build the inside (4 tubes connected to the lower coil) pleas send pics!! :ebiggrin:

Holes are access ports so I can get my torch in there to sweat up all the joints. I guess they will add some ascetics to the still as well.....

I think I'm getting it.

Just wish I could see a flow diagram.

Really nice work.
