Are you in a position to help with our Modern Steam Power project? Our immediate goal is energy autonomy from biomass fuels at Factor e Farm, our living lab. We are looking for a Project Manager to make this a reality.

Why is this relevant? We are aiming to document if modern biomass power would be capable of powering modern civilization. Our goal is to integrate modern steam engines with solar concentrators to make renewable energy a feasible option in modern society.

Briefly, our goal on stabilizing the Factor e Farm off grid facility with industrial power is:

#Keep off-grid while spending $300+ per month on gasoline for generators for 13 people - no choice for off-grid otherwise
#Installing solar panels if we get a donation.
#Refocus on getting the modern steam engine up as soon as possible to become autonomous on our energy needs.

The Modern Steam Engine system consists of 5 parts, with past work shown:

#Biomass [[Pelletizer]] to generate biomass pellets from hay or other biomass.
#Gasifier Burner - for an efficient burn of the biomass - See [[Gasifier_Burner_with_Heat_Exchanger_Prototype_I]]
#Heat exchanger - to generate steam for the engine. See [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL01217AD707EAE976&feature=view_all Heat Exchanger Coil winding playlist]]
#Modern Steam Engine - the heat engine to generate mechanical power. See [[Gary Hadden Steam Engine]]
#Generator - converts mechanical power to electrical energy

The action plan decided was to focus on recruiting a Project Manager to make this project a reality. Best case delivery time is 3 months assuming parallel development of pelletizer, gasifier, steam engine, and generator. Qaulifications for Project Manager is an Engineer with project management experience, preferably mechanical or automotive engineering or steam power engineering. See [[Basic Terms]] of contract.

We are open to remote work after a 2 week unpaid orientation stay at Factor e Farm to build rapport.
