Introduction

Nick Raaum is project manager.

Strategy

On 12.6.08, Nick and Marcin had a strategy session in which we decided:

  • Pursue a simple, single-acting, steam engine with electronically controlled valve
    • Pursue stock pipe sections to eliminate casting requirements?

Electronics

  • Asco valve - 8 hz, 150 PSIg operating pressure solenoid steam valve - $100 new; one required
  • Programmable Logic Controller -

Materials

  • A56 Schedule 80 half inch piping, carbon steel
