I had a similar design drawn up.
It was a simple engine that on the top of the piston, was a little thing that would poke a ball valve on top of the cylender head. The boiler was simple, I tank of water that would have a one-way valve going in for air inlet so no vacuum was drawn, a tube leading from the bottom of tank with a one way valve going out, and the tubing would make a small coil at the heat source. The tubing from the tank to the heat source would be heatsinked, and so what happens is the water flows into the coil, instantly vaporized, gets pushed out in bout directions from coil (to the tank, and away to engine) it cannot go into the tank and immediatly gets cooled by the heat sinks. a vacuum is drawn that sucks up water instantly into the coil again and the process works the same. Also the tubing going to the engine should have a ballast so that the steam output is more even and no the usually putputting from the coils. Those little putput boats that you would put a candle under the coil and they would put aroun workes on the same principle.
