DCM actually has significant reach north & south via relationships with fabricators who would build the modified triangle truss.

On the basis of that, I refer interested parties to Bob at DCM for further talks. Bob and DCM are the ones who make this idea of mine a reality.

I have also made an “Unsolicited Proposal” to DOE. Several years ago DOE sponsored an original sawtooth to which an ‘Evacuated Tube’ Solar Water heating system had been added. I still hope that DOE will take one step further on this road.

We would like to track down this issue. If it is an issue of general expectation, then in fact there are numerous old-fashioned sawtooth examples around. Some are older and some are more recent.

To kp: actually late in 2009 the first 2 pages were re-written, at the suggestion of Bill Coleman of CA. The prototyper’s statement & the Body-Cote test report are used on the understanding that Futura will not alter them.

SHOT IT DOWN IN NY STATE AND ELSEWHERE
