The mission for thermalEDGE corp. is to develop, produce, certify and distribute an efficient and cost effective anti-ice / de-ice system for all aircraft. This will include STCs for the retrofit of older fixed wing aircraft, and R&D work with aircraft manufacturers for the production of new rotary wing aircraft. Additionally, new fixed wing makers may elect to use the system in addition to existing bleed air& pneumatic systems. The principal founder of TEC, a pilot with DOD since 1987, is currently deployed with USAF Combat Rescue to OEF/ONW and will not be able to discuss this venture until his projected return date of mid Spring 2003.

It's with much regret that I must announce that this project has stalled. The deployment ran into overtime since we're a LDHD force. Because of OIF my principal corporation amepox MICROelectronics has halted operations. amepox Ltd. (the other partner in amepox MICROelectronics) continues to manufacture epoxy flooring in Europe, but it is no longer interested in the US market. Now that I'm back stateside we are having to first cease all operations for AXMC before a determination of intellectual property rights can be made. This is crucial because thermalEDGE will use a amepox technology for the anti-icing system, but before seeking a patent it must first ensure it outright owns the patent for the HvyCu technology. This month marks my 20th year with the DOD and perhaps given the current world situation it's time to hang up my spurs and focus on this new venture. For those interested please contact me via email because your interest may make the difference in my decision.
