All nine programs succeeded in meeting the proposal objectives. Directed all aspects, including proposal preparation, design, fabrication, and experimental work, of six SBIR programs (three simultaneously) with total funding of over $1.9M. Managed the work of up to three technicians, an electrical engineer, a mechanical engineer, a machinist, and a draftsman. Product Development  Developed a pulsed plasma process able to produce spherical fine metal powders in the 5-15 micron size range three times more efficiently than competing processes. Organized and managed an effort to build a small-scale production facility to produce these powders commercially. The process met specifications with respect to size and oxygen content. Competitive economic viability of this process has not yet been shown and is still being pursued. High Velocity Projectile Launchers UTRON, Inc.,  Assisted in experimental development and testing of the 45 mm Chemical Light Gas Gun a projectile launcher that has since been scaled up to a 155 mm gun capable of firing a shell up to 200 miles at speeds in excess of 5000 mph, currently being developed under Office of Naval Research support in Ashton, West Virginia.  Assisted in experimental testing of the Electric Light Gas Gun, (capable of firing projectiles at speed in excess of 15000 mph) Oak Ridge Fusion Energy Division  Worked on two stage and single stage light gas guns for the purposes of fueling nuclear fusion reactors (tokamaks such as JET, D3D, TFTR, etc.)  Performed modeling in support of experimental results for two stage light gas guns. N.C. State  Carried out thesis research on the feasibility of utilizing an electrothermal launcher as a tokamak fueling device. Performed both experimental research and supporting modeling. Technology Analysis  Provided in depth technical analyses on innovative technologies including wastewater processing, unexploded ordnance and explosives detection, lead based paint abatement, chemical and biological decontamination using plasmas, marine organism antifouling coatings, and expandable shelters for military applications. Proposal Writing  Identified over forty appropriate topics for response in SBIR solicitations; primary author on over twenty Phase I SBIR proposals and five Phase II SBIR proposals after successful completion of Phase I. Proposals collectively generated over 25% of company income over a four year period ($1.8M).

Organized and managed an effort to build a functioning prototype of this system, and delivered and installed the system at NASA in Huntsville, AL. Co-author on a patent on this device (U.S. Patent #6,001,426).  Developed an environmentally friendly, pulsed plasma process for removing lead-based paint for the Department of Transportation. Organized and managed an effort to build a laboratory based prototype of this system. Co-author on a patent on this device (U.S. Patent #5,970,993). PUBLICATIONS Selected Publications  J. E.
