'''This page will hold the final version of the CEB Press Intro after the wiki reorganization. This is a list of pages that might hold relevant info. These need to be consolidated here:''' --[[User:Conor|Conor]] 10:00, 20 February 2011 (PST)

According to http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/2010/06/full-product-release/ -
*The design of the manual machine is identical to the fully automatic version, minus the large hopper, vibrator, sensors, controller, and solenoid valves.
*We achieved 16 bricks per minute with a hydraulic power source of 24 gallons per minute
*The next competitors with a machine of comparable soil throughput appear to be priced between $45k (Powell and Sons) and $65k (AECT)
*Materials costs were $3610 for fully automatic version

Very nice! It's good to start seeing the documentation come into place.-MJ

Please link to CAD drawings from Open Pario.

Aneiren: Has long-term testing been performed to compare the durability and lifetime costs of the liberator in comparison to the other products? A higher initial cost coupled with less maintenance and repair over a lifetime seems to be more in line with the OSE specification. If we don't plan for the testing to happen soon, it will hurt us in the long run.

== Collaboration with [[Auroville Earth Institute]]? ==

The [[Auroville Earth Institute]] also has a CEB press, which seems capable of producing various block shapes.

What should we copy from them? How to best collaborate with them, so that both sides improve their machines?
