Modernized Steam Engine Project Plan
Notes from 15 Mar 2013
- Researched boiler systems (watertube, monotube, firetube, etc)--on-going
- COTS engines found to date do not meet specs (size/hp requirements) and seem to be costly, though design from http://www.mikebrownsolutions.com/techinfo.htm is intriguing (20 hp engine/150 lbs)
- Notes about safety--need to ensure sufficient safety warnings and instructions are included in manuals/drawings/maintenance plans--significant risk for safety incident (to include notes wrt substitutions of lower performing boiler safety valves, etc)
- Created QRL for supply/SMEs/resources
- Project plan--top level summary/intent/etc and outline
- Followed up on Pure Energy Systems--Massachusetts-based firm does not seem to exist. However, there is a Pure Energy Systems wiki that contains a lot of great information about renewable/sustainable energy: http://peswiki.com/index.php/Main_Page
Notes from 13-14 Mar 2013
- Performed research on history of product from initial innovation to modern use
- Began technical analysis requirements: COTS availability analysis, independent innovation, & alternatives
- Reviewed product integration requirements--began drafting tech performance requirements/specs
- Noted comments in blogs wrt regulation requirements in some states in the US
- Collecting potential SMEs (orgs & individuals) list and contact information for possible recruitment
- Drafted outline for project plan:
- Product Description, Operational Concept, and Operational Requirements
- Product Cost Requirements
- Program Schedule
- Life Cycle Sustainment Requirements - maintainability, safety, human performance/human engineering, testability
- Manpower - System Development/Build Requirements, System Operator Requirements, System Maintenance Requirements
- Data Management - Product Interfaces (ICDs)
- Production Strategy
- Support Equipment - BOM, Supply
- Brainstorming, brainstorming, brainstorming
Note on Pure Energy Systems-- Mass.-based company, will research further.
