When my oldest son, a Marine, left for war and crossed the border from Kuwait into Iraq in March 2003 I started writing my conscience. After two tours that young combat veteran, my first born son, is now permanently disabled suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and his mother is now an ardent peace activist. Today I am active with Veterans for Peace, Military Families Speak Out and on the board of Rural Organizing Project Also, I am CEO of Rogue River Wind, Ltd and the inventor of a low profile wind turbine incorporating a high bandwidth generator developed with Portland State University.

The V-LIM is making a big splash

November 5th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

This week I filed my patent with the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) through the World Intellectual Property Organization. The USPTO allows an inventor the option of whether to publish the application or not, I chose not to to avoid the IP being exposed as long as possible. The PCT does not afford such an option and the patent is now ‘out there’ for all to see.

The consequence of this is that organizations that monitor new filings have flooded me with inquiries. All to the good but coming at a time when we are fine tuning the generator to spin up and test.

Needless to say, as a new inventor, I am pretty excited.
