That really is quite special!

I would guess that a thermal syphon would develop between the cylinder walls and the radiator. Warm water rises in the cylinder and transfers over to the upper end of the radiator, where the water then cools, and "falls" to the bottom of the radiator from which it transfers back to the bottom of the cylinder?!?!
