[SEL] Thermo-syphon Question

[Curt]

Just thought of something else related to percolating cooling. Is it a 
Moore engine that has a little screen cooler resting on the top of  the 
water hopper opening? Seems like boiling water percolates up and down 
thru this screen cooler. Any one recall?

>Your  engine isn't thermo-syphon, I would say it's percolating cooling, don't know if that's the correct term. Thermo-syphon has to have everything under water to work.
