Energy Group Meetings

In our energy group yesterday - we discussed one refocusing of our energy priorities:

1. Keep off-grid while spending $300+ per month on gasoline for generators for 13 people
2. Installing solar panels if we get a donation.
3. Refocus on getting the modern steam engine up as soon as possible to become autonomous on our energy needs.

The Modern Steam Engine system consists of 5 parts:

1. Biomass Pelletizer to generate biomass pellets from hay or other biomass.
2. Gasifier Burner - for an efficient burn of the biomass - See Gasifier_Burner_with_Heat_Exchanger_Prototype_I
3. Heat exchanger - to generate steam for the engine. See Heat Exchanger Coil winding playlist]
4. Modern Steam Engine - the heat engine to generate mechanical power. See Gary Hadden Steam Engine
5. Generator - converts mechanical power to electrical energy. energy
