Basics
- This page is for the Conceptual Design of the Open Source Fuels Construction Set
- Mainly Plotting on Dimentions, Connectors, and Enviromental Hardening
Dimentions
- Thinking 25cm cube for base "unit" with 1, 2.5, or 5cm for the borders between everything
- Just like with OpenRack etc there can be "double wide" or 2U etc units
- For instance a "double size" powercube module
- Assuming 25cm, and a multi tank fluids module (see the misc section below) :
- A Single Engine, Single Fuel, Single Combined Unit would be slightly more than 75cm, 95cm with 5cm gaps? All less than 1 meter
- Compact Cars, accodrding to a quick search:
- are usually 4.1-4.3 meters long, 1.4-1.5 meters high, and 1.7-1.8 meters wide.
- Thus that seems do-able?
- Also the rack could be "stacked" for 2x of everything or some tweaked build etc, but no more horizontal space
Connectors
- Need to determine standards for everything
- Also will probably need to develop a locking mechanism for the slots
Enviromental Hardening
- Aerospace Grade etc
Misc
- Make a merged tank for all the fluids (would require more ports/more complex port layout)
- Hydraulic Fluid
- Lubricating Oil
- Coolant Fluid
- DEF (potentially depends on how much is needed)
