History of the Systems Design Division:

The Townsend Brown Foundation

The Systems Design Division is linked to the early part of the 20th century, beginning with the formation of The Townsend Brown Foundation.

The Townsend Brown Foundation, originally established by the Thomas B. Townsend and Lewis K. Brown family of Zanesville, Ohio in 1938, was created to promote the scientific investigations of Thomas Townsend Brown. The Foundation enabled Thomas Townsend Brown to develop the body of work that has become known worldwide.

The Foundation originally administered the residue of the estates of Mary B. Townsend (T. B. Townsend) and Lewis K. Brown, of Zanesville, Ohio. These estates included clay industries, rock quarries, coal mining, ranching properties and oil investments. The Foundation supported research in Naval science, radiation physics, geophysics and botany. It also financed expeditions to study the growth rate of sugar cane, pineapple and garden produce, as well as electro-culture studies in Coachella Valley, California and in Hawaii. Finally, the Foundation sponsored the advancement of fine arts, such as providing directorship and patronage of art galleries, and financing classical music and community concerts.

Optical Multimedia

While at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio in the early 1990s, Mr. Andrew Bolland formed Optical Multimedia. Optical Multimedia was originally conceived to provide computer-based training (CBT) modules for in-classroom support to the Geography Department. What Mr. Bolland did not anticipate was the acceptance of these ideas by the Chemistry Department instead. Under the direction of Dr. Karen Eichstadt, the use of computer-based in-classroom support spawned a number of advances in the method by which chemistry was taught at the University.

After leaving Ohio University, Mr. Bolland entered the Geology Department at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio to pursue his Masters degree. He continued his work of developing CBT modules for the Chemistry Department under the direction of Dr. Weldon Mathews. The first website, www.soteria.com, was created in 1996 under the flagship of Optical Multimedia. During this time, Optical Multimedia continued developing CBT modules for in-classroom support and inaugurated a web-based presence for the recognition of T. Townsend Brown and dissemination of selected research papers from the Brown family archives.

Formation of Qualight, L.L.C. (dba Qualight Environmental)

The decade following the inception of the first website in 1996 was characterized by further interest in Brown's work by a group of like-minded researchers, who formed a loosely knit society. Their shared knowledge grew over time. In 2005, Mr. Bolland decided to create a formal company structure that would be an effective platform for pursuing the research and development of technologies based, in part, on the previous work of T. Townsend Brown, and other researchers such as Philo Farnsworth and Nikola Tesla.

The term "Qualight" was originally coined by T. Townsend Brown to describe gravitational waves in the optical band of the electromagnetic spectrum. The formally structured company, Qualight, L.L.C. (Qualight Environmental), was incorporated in 2006. At that time, the soteria website was expanded and subsequently moved, in its entirety, to www.qualight.com and became known as Qualight Systems, a separate entity from Qualight Environmental.

In early 2008, Qualight Systems was absorbed into Qualight Environmental as a distinct section, known as the Systems Design Division.

Thus, sixty-five years after the inception of the Townsend Brown Foundation, Qualight Environmental continues the work of the foundation through research and development of novel sources of energy and ground-breaking technologies, as well as the development of raw resources. We at Qualight Environmental are constantly in search of individuals and corporations to assist whose scientific concepts are new and innovative, beyond what is currently available in our global community.

Qualight Environmental recognizes that the future of our global community depends on the discovery, support, and promotion of these often-overlooked individuals whose rare talents and insights into the fundamental physical forces may be gems in the rough. Qualight Environmental understands that this is the crux for reversing the many failures of the geopolitical and socioeconomic state of the Universe.
