I don't think the device would work. I believe the thermal losses in pipe would be too great and for this contraption to generate enough electricity, it must be pretty big.
Steam pipes are under high pressure and can explode causing much harm.

My thought for you.
Try making exercise equipment that generates electricity. A bike where the wheel is connected to an alternator or 2 or 3.
