2008-2009 Designed the first total off-the-grid foundry that produced more energy than it
used and put the surplus energy into the grid
2009 Designed equipment to remove methane from animal waste for energy production
and the solid leftover for other fuels and fertilizer.
2007-2009 I have been working on developing renewable energy along with green
building materials and sustainable systems.

1948: Certain English industries became nationalized and place under a given leader by
the name of Lord Nuffield. This person was an engineer, scientist, aviator, held a ships
captain license, machinist, and manufacturer. He designed, patented, and manufactured
all of the Nuffield tractors and farm implements and motor vehicles from the Morris
Minor car to the super heavy duty multi axle trucks. Under Lord Nuffield's were the
companies: Automotive, Diesel Engineers, Land gear, Rolls Royce, Leyland, Austin,
Jaguar, Aston Martin, Daimler, Lagonoa, Bristol, Gardner, Rushton, Bucines, Lister,
Petter, Rover, and Perkins.
Lord Nuffield Controlled Aircraft Companies
DeHaviland, Short Brothers Avro Glouster, Bristol, hawker, Supermarine Fairey, Miles,
Sauners Roe.
Lord Nuffield Controlled Marine Companies
Fairey, Fisher, Napier, Brave, Brown, Camel lairds, Thorneycroft, Camper Nicholson,
Sanunders Roe.
Under the control of Lord Nuffield these companies were pulled together and formed an
elite research and development program where all companies benefited from one another.
Later on it became known as the impossible and miracle group. I set my goal to be part of
that group. And I became part of that group.
