On June 18, 2008, Eclips Energy Technologies, Inc., formally constituted a Scientific Advisory Panel of specialist engineers and scientists to help with the various developments currently undertaken.  The members of the panel will be called upon, as required, to provide expert opinion and advice on the technical aspects of  research & development projects within the scope of their specialist fields.

Eclips Energy Technologies is confident that the panel comprises the leading thinkers and practical innovators in motor engineering, air purity, fuel economy, emission reduction and other areas of interest to the company.

The panel members are listed below and full biographies can be obtained from the company.

 

Rear Admidal Thomas J. Wilson, USN Ret.

Graduate, US Navy Academy, BS, Operationas Analysis

Tom Wilson retired from the US Navy after a 34 year career, as the Oceanographer and Navigator of the Navy.  By training, he is a propulsion and nuclear engineer with many years of seagoing and command appointments and as Flag Officer commanding the Atlantic NATO squadron.   His various duties gave him a detailed insight into the politico-military processes of the high command.  He is now an independent  defense consultant and a member of the prestigious ‘Spectrum Group’ of Washington DC congressional relations and defense consultants.   His expertise lies in marine diesel and gas turbine propulsion systems.

Dr. Ali T-Raissi, PhD

BS, Mechanical Eng. Teheran U, Iran,  MS, Mechanical Eng, LeHigh U, PA,  PhD, Mechanical Engineering, UC Berkeley

Ali T-Raissi is one of the foremost specialists on hydrogen and oxygen gasses in the USA.  He founded the Florida Hydrogen Research Center in 1988 and has been Director of the Florida Solar Energy Center since its inauguration.  He is concerned with ecological and environmental preservation, the development of alternative energy sources and the promotion of fuel efficient engines and propulsion systems .  He is a leading proponent for the reduction of harmful industrial residues and emissions and reducing the impact of modern gaseous waste products on Global Warming.

Dr, Jeffrey D. Bleil, PhD

BS, Biological Chemistry, Lawrence U. WI, PhD, Deveopmental Biology, Harvard Medical School

Jeffrey Bleil is the Chief Scientific Officer of UTEK Corporation, a technology transfer company with a long and extensive association with Eclips Energy Technologies, Inc.  His background is in biological and chemical research and he is now specializing in fuel efficiency and the development of alternative power sources, emission reduction and the effects of ‘mixed fuels’ on energy conservation and propulsion systems.  He has a wide experience in the protection of intellectual property and the detailed processes of patent applications and awards.

Dr. Patrick B. Hook, PhD

BSc Hons. and PhD, Advanced Materials Engineering, Exeter, UK

Patrick Hook has spent a lifetime in motor engineering, particularly in the fields of fuel efficiency, emission reduction and enhancement of an engine’s power factor.  He was director of engineering to the British formulas 1, 3, and 3000 racing teams, to which he is still a consultant.  Now, he specializes in Advanced Materials Engineering  and is an accomplished and internationally recognized author who owns his own materials development company; Auxetix, Ltd, in the UK.  He also carries out research projects into fuel efficiency and high-tech engine management systems.

Dr. Robert L. Hoekstra, PhD

BA, Calvin Col, M Des and PhD, Design for Assembly, U Cincinnatti OH

Bob Hoekstra is Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering and Management Systems at University of Central Florida.  He is also Director of the UCF Engineering Research Laboratory which engages in cutting edge research projects for the greater efficiency of motor and other propulsion engines..   He specializes in gasoline and diesel engine design and the performance of mixed gasses for motor vehicle and other engines. In his teaching and research work, he performs detailed analysis for optimization of internal combustion engines, robotics and automated systems and experimental methodology for gasoline and diesel engines.

Dr.  Thomas G. Livernois, PhD

BS, Electrical Eng.. MI Tech U,  MS, Electrical Eng. MI State U,  PhD, Electrical Eng, U MI

Tom Livernois has spent many years in the automotive industry, principally with Ford Motor Company and Daimler-Chrysler Corporation, where he specialized in the design and development of advanced electrical systems, electronic controls and semi-conductors.   He also worked in several OEMs and automotive component suppliers which led him to the introduction of fuel enhancement systems for road and railroad propulsion applications and the design of sensor systems and conformal antenna.  More recently, has been involved in the development of ‘hybrid’ motor vehicle fuel systems.
