	The basic design rationale for [[MicroTrac]] hydraulic pump (and engine) size requirements is the ability to power the [[Liberator 2]] CEB press to the extent that it can produce 6-8 bricks per minute. This indicates 360-480 bricks per hour, or between 2880-3840 bricks per 8 hour work day. Wow. This involves a 2 person team, one person running the [[LifeTrac]] hybrid [[Soil Pulverizer]], and the second person stacking bricks. This improves upon the 500 brick per 8 hour day sustained production rate that we [http://~~open[[~~CEB_press~~\|CEB_press]]~~ordealed last year] with a typical 2 person team.

	The above assumes that 12 GPM will be available. HP requirements for driving a pump are PSIGPM/(1714pump efficiency). This means that we can press at 2125 PSI with 12 gpm, or 10.2 GPM with 2500 PSI.		The above assumes that 12 GPM will be available. HP requirements for driving a pump are PSIGPM/(1714pump efficiency). Pump efficiency is typically 85%. This means that we can press at 2125 PSI with 12 gpm, or 10.2 GPM with 2500 PSI.

	The latter is more realistic, given PSI requirements for pressing, so ~~that~~ the theoretical maximum is really 6.4 bricks per minute if we have 10.2 GPM available - or 3072 bricks per 8 hour day.
