Prototypes Brief

Note: 6 prototypes are planned for Q2 2013. If negotiations go well, we can secure up to 9 prototypes.

1-CNC Torch Table - Gecko G540 as in existing CNC Torch Table Prototype I and specifically OSHW-OSE-CNC Torch Table-v1. Add Router Module and Laser Module + 3D Printing Module for large-scale objects.
- 1'-Hadden Engine - if negotiated
- 1'-Dobson Gasifier - if negotiated
- 1'-CNC Multimachine - if negotiated
- 2-Microtractor - small version of tractor, requires wheel module coupling to frame - Tractor_Construction_Set#Power_Cube_Construction_Set
- 3-Backhoe - see Backhoe Log for concept version - 50% of design done. See concept Tractor_Construction_Set#Pivoting_Joints_2
- 4-Bulldozer - same as tractor frame requires Geardown Module and 6 Way Blade Module, and 50 hp Power Cube. Tractor_Construction_Set#Power_Cube_Construction_Set. Go GrabCAD.
- 5-Ironworker Machine - see Tractor Construction Set#Scalable Ironworker Machine
6-Car
- 50 hp Power Cube - would be good also for bulldozer; needs addition of hydraulic drive to mechanical drive. Air Cooled 1600cc VW Engine is best candidate. See Team Wikispeed TEDx talk and Wikispeed Modularity - use their steering + suspension on the front, our suspension on rear drive wheel. Innovation: 3D printed body panels+modular hydraulic drive.
- 7-Truck + Trucktor - similar to tractor frame - add MacPherson Strut Module. Go GrabCAD

Rapid Prototyping. Modify for a combination 3D Printer - Circuit Mill - Laser Cutter? - 3D Scanner?.
- 3D Printer - Lulzbot. 3D Printer Productization Assessment.
- CNC Circuit Mill - Shapeoko working candidate prototype. CNC Circuit Mill Productization Assessment
- Laser Cutter - Lasersaur is to be improved upon. Laser Cutter Productization Assessment.

Steam Engine - Hadden Engine - just assess and hire machinist. Do it at Factor e Farm for video. Requires assessment and negotiation.
Heat exachanger - see Dobson Heat Exchanger. Requires assessment and negotiation.

Electrical grid - buried cable
1 or more CEB/WikiHouse houses to be built to satisfy Kickstarter reward and to provide at least 1 staff house. See Microhouse 2013 Discussion.
Cleanup
Biogas Digester

John Bethune, Gary De Mercurio, Audrey?
Plan first Design Charette for June 1, 7, build 14 and 21.
Video (sketch tablet + animation + icons) explainer on plan by Rob Kirk
Sketchup -> 2 Laser Cutter -> CNC Torch Table, or Sketchup -> 3x 3D Printer -> CNC Torch Table; also, CNC Circuit Mill to copy all electronics
See Modularity for general pattern language
