Solar Steam Module

<p>This is a work in progress. The goal is to provide designs that can be used as patterns for #Lost_PLA_Casting of aluminum parts or as a guide for cnc machining to support polished sheet metal reflectors bent into elliptical troughs. A small diameter copper tube will run along the focal line. Water pumped in one end of the tube should experience a temperature rise at the other end. Enough units in series should yield steam to run an engine to pump the water and to generate excess energy to charge batteries. The bracket assemblies can be bolted to a fence. Pivot dimensions will change as will some contours but they're pretty close to optimal now. I'm waiting for an end to isolation so the gang can set up a foundry and do some cooperative casting. Stay tuned for further developments.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>CR-10S</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Hatchbox PLA Any</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>To print for Lost PLA Casting add 4% when scaling to compensate for shrinkage of molten aluminum as it cools.</p></div> </p></p></p> Category: DIY
