PV Blinds

I have designed some solar panels, they are incorporated into window blinds as one way to overcome the problem of obtrusive panels on the Whole Project. The most efficient way to develop the design is to prototype some alternatives, measuring the output and exploring their layout and function. I'm presently working on some of the novel features that I believe will be patentable and will use these features to attract manufacturers and investors to this new product niche. This exciting project needs both skill and cash to make it happen but is very commercial and timely. Grant aid can help the first phase but finding the skills and building a team will be key in the coming months.

Landscape Protection

We have a planning process to protect the landscape from unacceptable buildings and inappropriate developments but it has always surprised me how some things like static caravan holiday parks, PV arrays large round bales of hay and field covered with plastic and fleece appear to be outside the system. If you work for an AONB, rely on visitors who value your local landscape or just love our countryside help me find manufacturers to collaborate with, invest in product development or bring your own skills to bear with me on these landscape problems.

Woodland

It's more expensive to buy small parcels of woodland and often the value of the standing wood is not fully reflected in the price. By choosing the right woodland we could take advantage of this to have a great tax free investment while benefiting the planet.

Once a Car

The coming together of an old 5 series BMW and a wooden shed. Once a Car will go some way to explore why a car is more friendly to use than a house. I need some help with the electrics and electronics, money of course would help make it happen much quicker.
