I'll second the "talk to kimric" suggestion, but you may also just want to look into parts for model steam engines, e.g. you can get safety valves from these guys:<br><a href="http://www.jensensteamengines.com/parts.htm">http://www.jensensteamengines.com/parts.htm</a><br>
<br>I'm told this is a good book on the subject:<br><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Model-Boilers-Boilermaking-K-Harris/dp/0852423772">http://www.amazon.com/Model-Boilers-Boilermaking-K-Harris/dp/0852423772</a><br><br>

Steam in general has a tendency to explode if you are not careful...<br>

Some of you know already but for those that don't I'm building a<br>
tiny tiny Tesla steam turbine but I'm unsure on how exactly to power<br>
it. The engine itself is probably going to be no larger than half<br>
the size of a roll of quarters so I imagine I'm not going to need a<br>
lot. I've thought about modding a pressure cooker but I got notified<br>
that they have a tendency to um, explode if modded the wrong ways. <br>
Anyone have any ideas on making/modding a steam boiler for something<br>
this small or know other sources that I could inquire to? Got a<br>
couple in mind but I figure I'd ask the list first.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
