Anyone that knows the name of the robot from "lost in space" gets 10 points ??

This is the basis of my idea for an alembic styled pot still. Its just more for fun and learning than trying to build for efficiency, and I want to make something that people go "dude, what the fuck" when they see it in the lounge. I will be making a Lyne arm that starts off at around 200mm diameter off the head and form a curvaceous taper down to an unusual looking shotgun style condenser (Lyne arm and condenser will resemble a racing 2 stroke engine expansion chamber and stinger)
Because I need to cast things in my foundry, I will make all sorts of stuff for it, like a boiler cradle, clamps, fittings and handles, etc, etc. It is a chance for me to push all my skills to a new level and try and make something a little unique at the same time. It will have a shrouded boiler so I can get play with making a one off gas burner to power it.
I am going to give myself a year to build this freak of nature, I am in no hurry. I see the castings taking the longest as its a complicated process, start to finish, But that first drop will make it worthwhile (I need lots of acetone for the workshop)
And just to make sure you all know that this build is for fun, the little toy steam engine and torch generator will be incorporated into the workings to recharge the batteries for the few electrical parts on it, steampunk as fuck
