Does boiling kill mil-foil (sic) ? I'm asking as I plan to construct an argus water jet engine for my canoe.?

Given that the basic idea of an Argus Water jet engine is not really to spread mil-foil, do I need to construct my engine so-as to be sectional for ease of cleaning or can boiling of the pipes (or running boiling water through the pipes work to eradicate it. from my system ?

If boiling is cool, how long should I run the argus in a boiling hot water bath? I have a large aluminium canning set up, I should be able to coil up a vacuum hose in it, for instance. And this would make for a very cheaply constructed power plant.

    After under standing what an argus jet is don't you think it will take up a lot of room verses a gas or electric motor.I do not think I would want that much heat out on the water.It just seems like a lot of work

    when there easier ways to get the same results.

    Good luck please post a picture I would like to see it when you have it built.

    Have fun and be safe!
