Log Book for February 29, 2004
General Engineering Report
Jason Schwier Reporting

Generators:

Lil Genny: Started with no difficulty. Oil full. Gas full. @ 0945

Generac Output AC Voltage: 250 V
Output Frequency: 59.4 Hz
Output DC Voltage: 14 V
Hobbs: 5643
Oil: Full @ 1545

We performed an initial quick run-through of the steps with Diego from Crew 24 in the morning around 0945. The process was repeated in the afternoon and all values were recorded.

Tanks:
Propane 1 North: 22%
Propane 2 South: 27%
Closest Tank to Hab: 67%

We were informed that the propane tanks are not to be filled, as the Generac will be replaced by a diesel generator.

Water:
Inside: 5 gal
Outside High: 30 cm
Outside Low: 20 cm
Shower Bucket: 1.5 gallons to toilet refill tank @ 1400

We were given a quick run-through of the water system by Diego. All values were not recorded until the second review of the entire process.

ATVs:
#1 - Oil ok. Gas 3/4 tank. Started ok.
#2 - Oil ok. Gas 3/4 tank. Started ok.
#3 - Oil ok. Gas 3/4 tank. Started ok.

There are no filled gasoline containers available to fill the ATV's gas tanks.

GreenHab Readings:
Humidity: 61%
Temperature: 41 C @ 1845
BYU plants watered.

Hab: Three engineering projects are currently under investigation: repairing the silverware and utensil drawer, adding door handles to the interior pressure doors, and an elevation stand for the diesel generator.

Suits: Suit number two is torn between the legs and needs to be repaired. Helmet number four is broken and needs to be replaced.

Notes: The fire extinguisher on the second level at the top of the stairs needs to be replaced, as it is used and is less than the nominal level of 195.
