Perhaps the system used sucessfully in the 30's for condensers on flywheel motors would prove useable. Get some heavy bronze mesh, roll into a slight cone shape, approx. 21" OD at the big end X 18" OD at the small end X about 20" long. Put a ring at the big end to hold the dia., then flatten the other end closed to form sort of a flattened teepee. If you go to old engine shows you will see several versions of this type of condenser. Another version of this I have seen is U shaped copper (flashing ?) ribs, about 3/16 between the legs and spaced about the same in an A frame shape, the open side of the U faces inward, this will also provide ample surface area for condensing the evaporated water, and letting it drip back into the barrel. It will add that true, old engine look to your rig.
