Speaking of inventors you might try getting in touch with Swell Fuel, a start-up with a buoy based wave energy generator. They might have some leads for you.

Thnks Tina, for your good suggestion. It turns out that I already looked into an sbir grant. They are closed out for things like Solar Vortex Generators until the next round of grants for such in September. We’ll have to wait for climate change to happen a little more. People, and the government need to stopping looking to large corporations and politicians for all their answers. The garage inventor is becoming a fading memory. Good article.

Try the EPA’s small business innovation research program: http://epa.gov/ncerqa/sbir/

The Army is coming along, too – here is one example: http://www.greenchipstocks.com/articles/army-solar-power-plant/557

I work for the U.S. Army, the military equivalent of

Harley-Davidson, “Proudly using yesterday’s technology today”. Even though our installation is in a progressive state, we do not currently have even

one LEED-certified facility. Nor do we have any

solar- or wind-powered buildings (though the former

ARE on the drawing board…and here it is, only 2010!)

Interesting to read how forward-thinking the Navy and

Air Force are, while we can’t even building one lousy

wind turbine.

Progress, thy name is NOT “U.S. Army”.

I am seeking a grant source to develop a second level prototype for a “Solar Vortex Generator.” The first scale model proved not only how it works, but more importantly, that it works. The principle of operation combines elements of a Solar Updraft Tower with an Atmospheric Vortex Engine. The person involved with me owns a small research and development company dedicated to nanotechnology and alternative energy. Can you suggest a name or contact through which we might communicate our effort to find funding? I am a Navy veteran (machinist mate)from the Vietnam era and a former manufacturer of greenhouses. Thank you.
