Well - Current Work

water swivel

link to some basic ideas about a swivel google doc

[1]

pulling unit

idea for a lifetrac enabled pulling apparatus google doc

square tubing could be reused on other projects after well is complete

could wooden 4x4s work? need extra support beams?

open source tricone bit

i think we should start thinking about ways to make tricone bits

stack plate steel?

rivet to housing?

welded pipe

want to look into rolling flat plate into tubes and welding seems?

casing

could poly pipe work for well casing?

Polyethylene_from_Ethanol

what size casing is typically used in water well?

pump

was the design used on first factory farm well successful? does the design need improvement?

Well - Developments Needed

Well - General

The ability to dig wells allows communities to access underground resources:

-water

-geothermal

Not to mention the power of being able to dig deep holes for support posts or pilings.
