EMPLOYMENT

2003 - Present Charged Motion Inc., 142 Main St., Northampton, Mass.

• Partnership with Dr. W.T. Cardwell Jr., in a company researching and developing our patented efficiency improvement to a proven technology that historically has very low efficiency.

  /li>

• This is a revolutionary form of propulsion using only electricity and no moving parts to move air by charge alone for reaction mass thrust. It directly utilizes the Electro-Static-Force with Electrons from Fuel Cells while avoiding combustion’s inefficient heat and polluting waste.

Computer simulations show a high efficiency potential while it only needs a low 25% to work for vertical takeoff & landing. Once it is empirically proven, then unheard of improvements to civilization can occur connecting everyone everywhere with no ground infrastructure required traveling in maximum safety door to door planet wide. It can become the 5th level of transportation following Internal Combustion, External Combustion, Animal power and Walking.

It is similar to ZH2 & 3 (2009) in our website "Projects" area.
