sweet thanks

Eight or more bouncing around in a large fish tank would be glorious fun.

I tried it with the metal ink cartridge from a retractable pen. It flopped over and sank. I was bummed. Have to go to the hardware store for thin copper.

Got it to operate perfectly with aluminum tubing. However, it does not run for "hours". It runs for about 5 minutes until it runs out of water to turn into steam. Still marginally cool.
