LB's Hardware was an early stage venture in green home improvement.Historically, niche retail solutions do not change markets because they struggle to compete on price and convenience. True retail market leadership comes from those who provide "One-Stop-Shop" experiences. Companies like Home Depot, Whole Foods, and Staples are examples of what LB's was going to be for Green Building. Efficiency is Key to turning around and stabilizing the national and global economies. Investment in efficiency continues to grow. Even during economic downturns, green products and home improvement trends upward. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to lead such a dedicated team. This concept is inevitable, and I look forward to seeing it emerge!

Someone received a patent for part of my idea. The nobel prize was given in 2010 for the discovery of Graphene. I discovered a method of producing a more connected form of this material 14 years prior. I was told that graphene was impossible to make. Obviously, that's not true.I developed a novel method to produce solid carbon polymeric chains and matrixes very similar to Graphene. Applications include:+ superconductivity+ nanotechnology+ stealth coatings+ protective coatings+ computingThere are serious limitations and downfalls related to the current method of production. I have ideas for the creation and production of these materials, and I am very interested in pursuing these angles. Let me know if you have a lab and want to hear more.

EarthWaters was an early-stage R&D group seeking to commercialize and patent technologies to improve clean water production. Adams co-invented the technology. The patent, "A Method and Apparatus to Improve Reverse Osmosis," describes injected recyclable, inert, clathrate hydrates in a feed stream to increase the "apparent thickness" (water layer) on the feed stream side of water-based membrane separations. Markets and applications include: Desalination, Ultrapure for Semiconductor, Medical and High Tech, RO for Foods (Juices and Beverages), Residential and Commercial Water Supply, etc. More patents (which have not yet been disclosed) could come from the basic research.Tests showed a dramatic 200% increase in throughput with 50% less impurities.
