Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
· Currently in discussion with Tom and Isaiah on testing site (noxious fumes concern)
· Upon start of Advanced Machine shop will start fabrication of 2 different initial prototypes; horizontal design w/ rotating axis and vertical design w/ rocket stove
· IN WORKS: purchasing thermocouple for temperature analysis in plastic deformation of steel drum, necessary temperature for process completion, i.e. if feasible in the field?
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
· Start Prototype construction
· Receive thermocouple
· Procure/Salvage materials

Risks and Areas of Concern
· Dealing with minimal resources-creative engineering
· Attaching horizontal design to central axis
Resources or Information Required but not Available
· Detailed report on Uganda location
o Readily available resources for manufacturing bio-char system
· Exact temperature requirement for specific charcoal production
· Quality of charcoal produced in comparison to native charcoal
· Combustibility of dirty biogas (various with systems and feedstock)
