Hydraulic Truck Design
Intro
They ideal hydraulic truck will incorporate components from other OSE projects, such as the engine, hydraulic pump and other assemblies. In starting on this project, we can start on a phased implementation to implement the core features of the project, then include the other OSE components as they become available.
OSE develops technology and Distributive Enterprise. It does not end at specific technology and enterprise - but instead at a Construction Set Approach where we teach people how to design anything. The Design Guide - a manual on how to design specific machines and artifacts - is the knowledge set required for people to begin designing their own versions of anything. The goal is to culture a technologically and scientifically literate public, and to end Artificial Scarcity so that more people can begin to prosper.
A design guide is a set of principles that enter tin he design of physical artifacts. OSE's method of producing Design Guides involves:
- creating the Design Guide in a fashion that allows for rapid learning
- Producing an 80/20 rule design language that allows anyone to begin designing within 1-8 hours of taking on the study.
- Addressing design principles that break the Iron Triangle
- Addressing design-for-distributed-fabrication for building in distributed Microfactories
A comprehensive design guide may include:
- Part Libraries - proven technology elements that serve as further building blocks. When organized transparently in a gallery with direct download links, one can get started immediately.
- How it Works - basic explanations of the working mechanisms.
- Technology Tree of Choices - exposing the different ways that a design can be implemented, and pointing to the route that is the most OSE Specifications compliant. See Template:OSE Specifications
- FreeCAD Workbench - we have now created a FreeCAD Workbench Platform which allows anyone with basic programming skill to creating dedicated FreeCAD Workbenches for designing a specific machine.
