In our energy group yesterday - we discussed one refocusing of our energy priorities:
- Keep off-grid while spending $300+ per month on gasoline for generators for 13 people
- 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:
- 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 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.
