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 - Arduino board?
Materials
- A56 Schedule 80 half inch piping, carbon steel
