Open Source Inverter
	Error creating thumbnail: File missing; Short description
Specifications
Product Ecology	3D printing produces the plastic insulators and structure, Open Source Screw Machine (CNC Multimachine)) produces screws and heatsinks, Induction Furnace provides metal from scrap, such as Zinc-Aluminum Alloy. D3D CNC Circuit Mill can produce the circuits, such as for a Minimalist Arduino or an off-shelf Arduino Mega.
License	OSHWA and OSI compliant. CC-BY-SA-4.0 International, GPLv3, DIN SPEC 3105.
Arduino Mega brain	Mega with LCD is used as in Universal Controller
Power Modules	Based on Power Panel concept of modular, air-cooled power transistor units.
Key Specification	Scalability from 1-50kW
Construction	3D printed parts + COTS arduino, metal case. Terminal blocks for input and output. Cooling part is electrically isolated, via plastic base mount.
Productivity	Relevant to small and large power applications from small off-grid power units such as the Solar Power Station to Open Source PV System, and power for larger, autonomous facilities.
Completion Status
	Design phase, 2/21/21. See also Genealogeis and Status of Completion.
