Anyone care to guess what this'll be / do when it's finished?

Knowing you Stu, some kind of stove?

A straight piece of wire?

Meths stove.
Tinny from mini bull designs made one like that.

A lightweight still for distilling your own whisky from fermented pine cones and badger piss whilst on bivvy trips?

the start of a whole new look for the WRT . . . .

distill water? :?

or used as a heating element

A way of ensuring no-one on the WRT needs a hip flask?

Spring for home made "hite rite" cos you can't afford to replace that droppoer seat post. .

A stove powered pressure washer for mid ride bike cleaning.

A piece of bent copper that hopefully you'll be happy with.

Well some pretty good guesses there and a few not far off. It's actually a secondry water heater for a side burn meths stove. Bladder / bottle on the one side and hot water on the other. You can still cook on the stove as normal and brew up with the water from the heater ... with no increase in the amount of fuel required.

A quick test this morning reveals that the principle works very well, the water from the coil is at boiling point when it comes out. This is obviously a lash up / prototype, the next one will be an integral part of the stove which should make the thing more stable and compact.

What a great idea!

Seriously? :?

It's got to be more stable than your White box stove?

Seriously?

Why not did nowt?

Reckon you could make one work pretty well with a White Box stove.

It looks a rather impractical design for packing, and makes me question why not just use a more efficient stove?

I can't see why you say it's not efficient?
Cooking on a pan on top whilst simultainiously heating extra water for a brew using no/very little extra fuel.
What's not to like?
