here is my video demonstration of the "OZ" steam Demon's chuff enhancer that he used as a selling tool while he was with us.

  Sounds chug-chug right!
Killer looks.

  Is that special whistle-shaped
'enhancer' in there?  I need to
cobble one of those up out of
thin air and my junk collection,
and it doesn't need to be a looker.
Looks are for subsequent builds.

  And remember, a good diagram
is the gold standard.

Thanks,
Wayne

I'll let this video do the talking  ;)

I have never played with any designs as I was very happy with my Demon purchase. I can supply pictures of my chuff enhancers...

Like a whistle....HMMMM
Do you have a video w/sound?
Seeing (and hearing) is believing.

I thought the exhaust might 'spit'
against a diaphragm of some sort
with maybe a cone to further
increase the 'soothing' tones.

So, I'll come right out and ask...are
there any diagrams of good chuffers,
or is each a trade secret?

Thanks for the reply,
Wayne

Mine came with 3 of these "chuff enhancers", one can be seen in the center of this photo (shaped like a whistle), with the tool to put it in place screwed on top

Hi Wayne, yes, the Demon Chuff Pots were supplied with "chuff enhancers" and a tool to change them. Wish I could have been a better customer of the Demon...

It is my understanding that there are chuff pots
that actually enhance the sound of the exhaust,
besides collecting the condensate and venting
any left-over steam up a chimney.  Could anyone
tell me if there is anything inside a chuff-pot as
I've described?  I'd like to make one and I can
have a notion how to do it, but why reinvent
the wheel.

Even an empty soup can with a hole in the side for tubing to fit into will make a suitable condenser or “catch pan” for oily waste
