DIY: Portable Steam Generation

You need energy to create steam, so you can make a DIY portable steam generator if you have access to an energy supply wherever you carry it. One common DIY portable steam generator is an electric kettle. However, you may not have a source of electricity in all the places you'd like to take it. An alternative source is a portable gas stove.

Instructions

    • 1

      Light a portable gas stove. Light a match and turn the gas stove knob clockwise a little. Hold the lit match against the burner. This will cause the gas to light and begin burning in a controlled way. Turn the knob all the way for maximum heat and faster steam generation.

    • 2

      Pour water into a pan or a non-electric kettle. Use a funnel if you wish, to make pouring the water into the kettle easier, as it has a narrow spout.

    • 3

      Place the pan or kettle on the stove. Wait until the water boils. Note this takes from about 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the stove, pan or kettle and volume of water.
