Online Engineering Consultancy Services
Latest update: June 30, 2008

Do you have an idea, something you think you could make money with, if you just knew how to make it work? If it is something technical, a device, apparatus, or whatever, I may be able to assist you in working it further out.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a patentable invention, but can be just anything that you are thinking about. It could be a technical description that you would need to present your idea, some calculations on a principle, if it works and to what extend. You may want to build a prototype of something and need workshop drawings for that.

For smaller assignments, that I can do within a few hours, a day, I offer you my services for a mere USD 250,- to prepare a basis for your envisioned project. After that, you can decide to go on with it, with or without my further assistance.

If you would be considering to invest in something, can be whether or not to apply for a patent, or to join with someone else in a technical project, I can evaluate the technical feasibility and the market potential of it. Also this service I offer for the same price of USD 250. Please send me your inquiry.

What actually made me decide to become an engineer at the time as a teenager, was Jules Verne's book "20,000 leagues under the sea", where I became fascinated by the design of the Nautilus, as illustrated with pictures from the movie made on it - I wanted to know how it works, or could work. Once an engineer, I could calculate that the energy systems of the Nautilus, as described by J. Verne, actually work, just that the amount of electric energy, generated from the sea water, was by far not enough to run a submarine with, but nevertheless. Having grown up and living under the threat of nuclear holocaust during the Cold War, I imagined being one day rich enough to build my own self-sustainable submarine, to escape from a deadly radioactive world.

I designed many fish-shaped submarines in my fantasy world. In the real world I never came further than building a cottage, that was self-sustainable on energy and food, in case the societal systems would have broken down. My submarine ideas finally resulted in a design, that can withstand the pressures at the deepest grounds of the oceans - an indestructible hull. I also became fascinated by space technology and designed many space crafts as well. It all ended gradually, when I became a family-father, no longer being motivated to spend time on "dreaming", but rather on more realistic inventions, that possibly could make me "rich". Alas, it never happened and now, at the age of 61, it's too late anyway.

Starting as a combat air and missile radar specialist in the Royal Dutch Air Force during 10 years, whereof 5 years in Nato-Germany, I then moved on to Sweden (marriage) and after my education in mechanical engineering there, worked during 15 years in various functions, as a  consulting, design and production engineer. Mainly materials conveying systems and later development of food packaging machines (Tetra Pak).

During the years I have invented several new designs  and previously having done research on solar energy for my graduation exams. I came in contact with investors, who employed me to develop my ideas further. Doing research and experiments in the field of new compressors and improved refrigeration technology, both in Sweden and the UK, I became the thermodynamics expert I am today.

These activities ended with the economic crisis in Asia 1997 and since then I have been on my own as a free lance consulting engineer, presently located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. My latest assignment for a client in the USA, that lasted almost three years, was to assist in the development of energy conversion technology.  Recently I have developed an other idea, based on observations made by nobody less than James Watt, around 250 years ago and forgotten by later engineers. I seem to have a gift for overlooked connections

Rather more as a hobby, I'm presently concentrating on designing heat conversion technology for applications in space, in specific on the Moon, where the vacuum conditions constitute a still unsolved problem to deal with larger amounts of waste heat, energy conversion and storage, habitat temperature regulation, etc.

I'm an all-round engineer in electrics, mechanics and thermodynamics and could therefore accept assignments in various fields of applications. By experience, I'm also proficient in international patent law, in respect to composing patent descriptions and claims. Because patent attorneys in western countries are extremely expensive, you can let me do the preparatory work at far lower costs.
