Research Activities:

The Systems Design Division is engaged in several primary research activities. The necessary space, power, and safety requirements for high voltage research determines the actual project "on-deck" at any point in time.

Due to the proprietary nature of the research and future patentability of composite materials, designs, and manufacturing processes, only a basic summary of research activities are described below.

High-K Dielectrics:

It is common knowledge that the correct combination of material components and manufacturing processes may produce materials with specific requirements. This ongoing research addresses the effect of massive dielectrics impregnated with additional materials to create super, high-K dielectrics. The research considers sample preparation with multiple component additives and ratios.

After preparation and manufacture, the samples are evaluated for electrical and physical characteristics including: dielectric constant, temperature / dielectric constant range and stability, dielectric constant temporal stability, surface finish, shrinkage rate, and structural stability.

Room-Temperature Superconductors:

From Wikipedia... "A room-temperature superconductor is a material yet to be discovered which would be capable of exhibiting superconducting properties at temperatures above 0o C (273.15 K). This is of course not strictly speaking "room temperature" (20-25o C), however it can be reached very cheaply.

Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors, several materials have been claimed as being room-temperature superconductors. In every case, independent investigation has quickly proven these claims false. As a result, most condensed matter physicists now welcome with extreme skepticism any further claims of this nature."

The Systems Design Division is currently pursuing several promising avenues of research discovered accidentally during research involving high-K dielectric additives. Current results appear to indicate that room-temperature superconductive properties may be achievable using low-level technology easily adaptible to mass-production.

Apparatus Configuration Design:

Apparatuses designed for maximum efficiency of interacting shaped fields rely on complex, exact engineering specifications and tight manufacturing tolerances. The Systems Design Division is currently engaged in the development and optimization of the most efficient combination of material sources and apparatus configuration.

By designing the apparatuses from the initial phases using configuration design (the process of generating a product by assembling predefined components) the resulting final products are inherently designed for modular manufacturing.

Other Research Projects in the Pipeline:

At the Systems Design Division, we take our informal motto, "Keep Moving Forward" (Walt Disney), from the Pixar movie, "The Robinsons"TM, very seriously. The nature of projects "in the works" run the gambit from the practical to the fantastic.
