From: Edward Beardsworth
To: UFTO Subscribers
January 1995

This cover letter is to introduce the enclosed materials from the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL).

Dr. Desikan (Des) Bharathon has been awarded internal funding at NREL for his proposal to develop efficient gas jet ejectors. He believes he can improve dramatically on the very low efficiency of commercially available units. Dr. Bharathon is looking for utility partners for this program, and I agreed to provide this cover letter and your names to him.

These devices have wide application in utility power plants and in other industries, chemical processing in particular. They use thermal energy in place of mechanical energy to compress gases. In power plants, they are used to remove noncondensible gases from steam systems.

The business terms of any arrangement between you and NREL (and perhaps a manufacturer) are completely open at this point, and could represent an important ground floor opportunity for you.

At this point you know about as much as I do about this technology, but if I can be of any assistance, please let me know.

Sincerely yours,

Edward Beardsworth
