Beginning of an Era

Today marks the beginning of an era. A rather bold claim, but, I suspect it's true.

Those who have started a business know it is difficult. It doesn't matter what kind of business it is... from music to mechanical, from computers to composing. It requires fortitude and patience.

But try starting one with a new technology. That's impossible. Welcome to the land of maze. Will it work? Who will buy it? Am I really qualified to do this? Who is kidding whom?

For more than three and half years I've been working with my partners Dick Wilson, Steve Sutherland and our master inventor, Gary Lee to create a company from an advanced technology. Gary Lee has been working on it for 15 years! The concept, in the beginning, looked wonderfully promising. Engineers lined up to praise its ingenuity, creativity, brilliance and great applications for all of mankind. BYU's mechanical engineering department lined up to help on the engineering and did a great job.

But along the way one part of the engineering worked great but ended up causing a problem for another. Fix that and another area blows up. It's like Hercules fighting the Hydra of Lerna, but I'm no Hercules.

At times we nearly wanted to give it up and go do something to actually make us some money, but, we had wonderful investors so we had to protect their investments and persevere.

Two weeks ago our engineers showed us the advanced computer drawings of the first and only Positively Displaced Infinitely Variable Transmission. Everything works like a symphony... in perfect harmony.

Simply put, it is a revolutionary transmission for cars, trucks, ships, windmills, heavy off road and agriculture equipment and practically anything else that uses an engine. With no dynamic friction like CVTs, no clutch or torque converter, fewer parts, simpler to make, it will use about 30% less fuel but have great performance.

Really great news is it will replace the very expensive controller in the electric car making electric cars become a reality. You'll be able to buy for the same price as a regular car an electric or hybrid car that will have as much power. Even better, our transmission can be made for SUVs, pick up trucks, and... get this, the big semi-trucks as well.

No clutch means no shifting. Great for long haul truckers.

We've just begun the phase of taking our transmission to the manufacturers. We call it the Universal Transmission 301.

We're thrilled to be introducing a much more powerful and efficient transmission to the world. Our first press conference is scheduled for a few weeks from now and a local TV station is currently working on a special feature about our transmission.

If you know someone in the automotive or vehicle business, please pass this along to them. It is going to have a huge impact. It will make all other automatics obsolete.

Again, it has been a long time in coming but we're now ready to begin a new era. I'd better make sure I do a good job marketing it.

Stay tuned for the whole gory or glory story.
