Marcin,

Design is not my strong point. I have just cracked FreeCad and have been doing my own design work on small pumps and turbines of late, in my machine shop.

My strong points are Testing, Hardware and Software , Q&A, Operations and Maintenance for IT, Telco and Utility Scale Alternative Energy projects. I'm also good at logistics, organization and Systems Integration work.

Many years ago, I did Maritime O&M for steam, diesel, hydraulic, water desalinization systems on large ocean going vessels. To include the rebuild of a Paddle Wheel River Boat that was driven by steam piston engines..

I would like to contribute to the design of: Solar Trough Steam Engine Steam Turbine

I could also be useful in documenting: Q&A Best Practices Safety Precautions and Protocols Operations and Maintenance Training

Plus with OSE documentation, I could produce most if not all of the 50 GVCS units to include fabrication of the electronic controller boards. And tweak the software if I had the source code.

However, I am currently recruiting some very talented engineers in my professional network. One of which, a former NASA engineer, has a simplified ranch, farm sized heliostat system that he wants to release via the OS Hardware methodology.

My goal is to assemble a very talented team in AZ.

Regards, JQ
