Overview

Masters Degree in Physics. Experience developing optics, lasers and research on plasma and sonar. Worked at the University of Texas and California Technical University.

Tokamak - worked on the project at University of Texas. Did thermal radiation diagnostics. Tried to diagnose why so much energy was lost out of the plasma - where is the energy going. Used pyroelectic detectors.

Analog electronics PC Board design High Voltage Electronics Electronic CAD Microwave Technology Infrared Lasers Ultraviolet Lasers Fiberoptics Photodiode Cryogenic Pyroelectrics Ultra High Vacuum Sonar Diesel Electric Control Experience Machining Chemistry Background MIG Welding Plasma Technology Program Management Field Experience

Lives on a couple of acres in Columbus, Texas - all paid for. Not desparate for money - just trying to keep from being foreclosed on. Watching his 85 year old mother. Quasi-retired, building a company called Encore USA Scientifics. Somewhat disabled - back injury that requires him to stand.

Encore USA Scientifics - founded a company that makes precision science-education instruments.

Fabrication Experience

Has a shop. Band saw, metal lathe, mill, able to make almost anything with the combination of the three. Buzz box - old stake type of arc welder. Can weld fairly well with that. Has experience on larger lathes and has been using the equipment since he was 18 years old.

Machine Design

CAD experience - has an old version of Solidworks (1998) - uses that and designs a large number of devices, some are being prototyped. Does FEA, MES - mechanical simulation, build a model in Solidworks and import it into the FEA package and set up an FEA for thermal or mechanical stress and then set away parameters that change and the computer puts out information for various conditions - it will animate all of the stresses of different conditions and you can see where critical stress conditions might arise.

Fabrication Drawings

Yes. In Solidworks, he knows how to convert models to fab. drawings using different templates. He produces them all the time as a guide so he can machine something. Solidworks makes that pretty easy.

Tolerances

Has experience, with lasers etc., setting up drawings for machinists that require tolerance allowances with plus or minus. Generally, you choose one edge as your reference point and specify dimensions from that edge and specify plus or minus the tolerance limits.

Have you ever operated any heavy equipment? Some but he's currently disabled.
