To: Entrepeneurs & Small Public Cos Produce all glass products with 50 pct less energy and also double the tensile strength of glass fiber. Today, all glass furnaces have a large forehearth to hold molten glass for hours, wasting hi heat, awaiting bubbles to rise. Our bubble separator (designed with help of 10 PHds at Cal Tech) will avoid this waste of energy. Silica melts at 4500F but glass fiber is now weakened by adding weak ingredients for 45% of melt, becausse platinum bushings now used melts at 3200F. Our tungsten (6l00F) furnace, bushing and bubble separator can handle pure silica in minutes for stronger fiber and less cost. A lifetime of research and a family's fortune has been invested to date. After reaching forescore years we are seeking younger entrepeneur and/or small public company not afraid of a challenge and willing to fund patents, building prototype and market licenses to glass companies throughout the world. Our research team developed world's first Kevlar and carbon fiber flywheel energy storage systems now used in space replacing chemical batteries. $10 to $50/lb for carbon fiber (when 500 lbs is needed to power the full flywheel-powered electric auto) deters economic feasibility and the eventual replacement of the internal combustion engine. Glass fiber is now only $1/lb. With double or triple strengh, even $2-3/lb could advance the acceptabilitiy of the electric auto and produce a future for an entrepeneur and/or his common stock. If interested ask via email for cy of study. Resspectfully, MPowell@imm.com
