Model 4.0 Drive Shaft and Bearing Housings Have Been Ordered
The Era of our Model 4.0 has begun! With the data gathered from our Model 3.1, we are officially able to move onward to start Technology Readiness Level 8 full certification. Before that, however, we must source our materials for the new model and begin manufacturing the components.
We are pleased to announce that the two drive shafts we ordered from ScotForge in Illinois have been rough forged. They will soon be on their way to TechMax, an hour away for precise machining. Tech Max is also making the bearing housings and will install the three SKF bearings to the shaft before shipping the final products to Wind Harvest. The lead time for these parts is six months, so we are on a timeline for delivery before the end of the year.
