Get Educated, and Share the Wealth
What's a Powersat?
Who are you guys? Six degrees of separation?
There are two kinds of people in the
world: those who know about powersats, and those who are going to
find out. You can make sure you're the former by visiting the PowerSat
website.

PowerSat eNews Inaugural Issue
All those pesky
notes and who-did-what-to-who-where reports finally find a home.
After our commercialization readiness
review (see below) we found our communication with our stakeholders
and other interested folks wasn't as organized as we'd thought.
So, here we go with a no more than monthly, and no less than
quarterly eNewsletter, designed to give the down and dirty, with
links to more detailed reports. We're looking for feedback
about the format and content, just give
a click and let us know what works, and what doesn't.
Wanted: Heroes, Visionaries and C- Students
Did you know that
one of the most successful industries of all time started with a C-
Business Plan?
It's true. Fred Smith, the
founder of Federal Express submitted the business plan for FedEx to
his Yale business professor. He received a C- and the
admonition that "it would never work." He didn't
give up, he instead created an entire industry. The great
advances in the state of mankind do not come from a faster computer,
or a smaller cell-phone. They come from quantum leaps, from
paradigm shifting, tradition crunching, insane seeming visionaries
who don't give up, and won't go away. If this sounds like
something you want to be in on, learn
what it takes to be a hero...
PowerSat gets a Commercialization Readiness Review
And you thought
that taking your SAT was stressful...
PowerSat Corporation is compared to
other businesses in our same developmental state. NuTekWorld
provides business analysis and consulting services. While the
analysis shows there is room for improvement, we're pleased by how
well we did in comparison to an 'ideal' company. We've
summarized the 23 page report here...
Energy Technology Showcase Report
PowerSat runs up
the flag, and attendees salute!
 We
went down to the Energy Technology Showcase tradeshow in Portland
lay bare our souls to the energy world. This was the first time our
concept actually made contact with the energy industry. We were
nervous. The last 18 months of development and preparation paid off
big-time. They couldn't throw a question at us we couldn't handle.
Even the few negative guys couldn't tear the idea down; they were
reduced to red-faced abrupt departure when it became clear they
couldn't find a hole in the proposal. If we sound pumped, it's
because we are. Read the somewhat less hyper after-action report
here...
Fuel Cells and Hair Removal
Fuel-Cells...
Great idea, simple, clean, efficient... Wait... Where is all this
hydrogen going to come from?
Fuel-cells are making the news
lately. Environmentalist groups are hailing them as a
non-polluting source of energy. Unfortunately, the
traditional way of obtaining hydrogen is to get it from natural gas,
in a process that releases more greenhouse gas than burning the
natural gas directly. All this does is shift where the
pollution comes from, from a tailpipe to a gas refinery.
