Our Achievements To Date Years of R&D by the inventor resulted in solving the Flywheel

riddle. Commissioned a marketing study to be completed by Dr. Jerry

Jackson Power Tree Corp established in 2008 and funded. Recruited a talented and seasoned team of professionals. Applied for patent through Hamilton Brook Smith & Reynolds. Gen 3 unit built and in operation. Intertek testing of Gen 3 proved efficiencies. Currently patent pending. Established a manufacturing joint venture. Moving into Coconut Creek manufacturing facility. Received Congressional and State support. Signed multiple LOI’s with potential beta site partners
