Title: Build, install and demonstrate a variable stroke pump control and windmill system: 2nd quarterly technical progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6983524

Most of the time during the second quarter has been spent on the new gear drive. At the end of the 1st quarter the VSM (Variable Stroke Mechanism) was approximately 50% complete. Some work was done the second quarter on the VSM. An all steel mount was nearly completed for the hydraulic cyclinder. The purchased parts to finish the plumbing are on hand, the feedback control chain purchased, and one of the two pulleys was made. A safety device, that could be optional, is being designed and constructed. This addition would prevent damage to the equipment if all of the hydraulic fluid were lost for some reason.
