Same. I was expecting something along the lines of the pulse jet powered tea kettle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fDM9Eb16Do

Basically he's just using the mini-pulse jet's waste heat to boil the water.

(Pulse jets are sort of primitive jet engines, though they operate on a different principles. Most famous for being used by the Germans with their V-1 "Flying Bomb".)
