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 one cylinder steam engine with electronically controlled valve
    • Pursue stock pipe sections to eliminate casting requirements?

Materials

  • A56 Schedule 80 half inch piping, carbon steel
