  1. Small-Scale Solar Power Solar Power Rangers ~ Kevin Kastenholz 13 March 2008

  2. Previously • Order/Purchase Prototype Components • Ordered, and have received, a model Stirling engine • Trip to Lowe’s Sunday to purchase trough elements [BOM…] • Create Prototype Performance Requirements • Completed

  3. Prototype Performance Req’s Rubric Trough - Heat Output Less than 227 Watts 0 Between 227-247 W 1 Between 247-260 W 2 Within 2.5% of 267 (260-267W) 3 BONUS for each 10W above 267W +1 Engine/Trough interface Unable to interface, and does not run on equivalent heat 0 Able to interface, but engine not running 1 Unable to interface, but runs on equivalent heat 2 Able to interface, and engine running 3

  4. Currently • Beginning Documentation • Finalizing CAD model • Trough Completed • No show stoppers

  5. Current CAD Trough Model • INSERT HERE!

  6. Future Development • Machine Trough End-Plates • Appointment next week with grad student to mill plywood • Assemble Stirling Engine • Decide what key features the prototype will demonstrate

  7. Questions The Solar Power Rangers are: Phillip Hicks, Kevin Kastenholz, Derek Lipp, Paul Nistler, and Rachel Paietta
