What?
Make our own iron from local materials, and get it into a space project.
Why?
Because we can, of course.
Phase I - coonceptual design
Goals:
- Have fun !
- Proof of priciple application
- Producing functional wraught iron and forging it into a useful, everyday product
- using COTS non-specialist components and byproducts of industrial society - things that you could find in Fallout
- nice to have : if possible, as reusable as possible
- getting the reduction reaction going and under control
- Nice to have : measurements and "automated" control - airflow, temperature, material composition, pyrometer
- Experiencing and documenting the process
- Nice to have : locating and collecting our own local ore -> moerasoer / klappersteen / "knollen" / kwel : locaties
- telling a story of the hidden aspects of technology and the ease of "living" in 21st century
- Just how hard it is to make a simple, very crappy object
- Must have : as complete video/textual record as possible
- Lessons learned
- Responsible handling of waste products
- Is there something we can upcycle and sell to hipsters for lots of money to fund the project?
Preparations
- Furnace
- Select and specify design
- Identify and source charcoal and ore
- Identify and collect relevant tools
- People
- Who is involved, and at which tasks
- Find someone for documenting / filming
- SHE
- Identify any speciffic risks associated
- Personal protection measures
- Make a waste management plan
Phase II - Test
Approach
- KISS, but complete
- At hack42, a weekend long project
Execution
- Planned design (dead link, archived version)
- Ore acquired
Phase III - CCCamp 2019 show
- Process control and yield maximization
- Show and dramatic infotainment
