Description
Here we continue documentation of the open source tractor (LifeTrac) and the CEB press (Factor e Liberator) as built and used at Factor e Farm. We also show how we made solar panels from solar cells. More info: http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/
We are looking for people who are interested in building the world's first replicable open source self-sufficient decentralized high appropriate tech permaculture village - to transcend survival and evolve to freedom.

We
checked
the
pressure
coming
from
the
hydraulic
line
on
the
tractor,
going
to
the
press
and
at
first
it
was
ridiculous,
like
3500
psi
stalling
the
tractor
and
just
way
too
much
for
pressing
bricks.
So
we
adjusted
it
on
the
flow
valve
at
the
press
and
got
it
down
to
optimum
pressure
of
about
twenty
one.
Twenty
two
hundred
psi.

Here
we
have
the
backs
of
the
cells
painted
with
a
50/50
solution
of
GE,
silicon,
2
and
xylene.
This
is
for
protecting
the
backs
of
the
cells
against
corrosion
painting,
the
back
of
the
cells.
Here's
a
panel
where
we're
putting
on
the
bus
bus
bars
at
the
top
all
the
strings
are
laid
out
on
one
panel,
we're
taking
the
first
measurements
on
a
first
completed
panel.
What
are
the
readings
here?
