MicroTrac Baseline Calculation

Introduction

The basic design rationale for MicroTrac hydraulic pump (and engine) size requirements is the ability to power the Liberator 2 CEB press to the extent that it can produce 6-8 bricks per minute. This indicates 360-480 bricks per hour, or between 2880-3840 bricks per 8 hour work day. Wow. This involves a 2 person team, one person running the LifeTrac hybrid Soil Pulverizer, and the second person stacking bricks. This improves upon the 500 brick per 8 hour day sustained production rate that we ordealed last year with a typical 2 person team. We still got the CEB workshop addition built - under the worst possible conditions. It was a worthwhile experiment in that we now have a spacious workshop environment - and with the planned sCEB floor and other improvements, we will not complain. It's time to move on to the Solar Village. Now seeking collaborators for design assistance.
