I have always had an inquiring mind. Very few people have that. When I asked the question "why do you do it like that?" the answer in most cases was "we have always done it like that". That is a sign of a stagnant company.Or when I proposed a new solution to a mechanical problem on a mine winder the question is often asked: "where has it been done before?" Imagine if the Wright Brothers would have been affected by such sillyness we might not have aero planes today, because nobody had done it before them!I have TWICE been instrumental in getting a company from a blank sheet to near the top of the industry, simply by the superiority of my designs. In the process made the owners multi-millionairs. And I am not finished yet. Have designed a winder disc brake that is better than anything out there. Shaft sinking equipment that is better and cheaper then what others can offer. A change to some aspect of Koepe winders that will increase production by 15% and the clients profitability by $ millions at practically no cost.I have demonstrated in the past that I can solve problems relating to mine winders that even much better educated specialists cannot solve. I have on at least THREE occassions solved the problem of a slipping rope on a friction stage winder that even the engineers at Anglo Technical, a specialist division of Anglo American, the largest mining house in South Africa, were unable to solve. Nor did the supplier of the equipment solve it. Nor did the shaft sinking company solve it. But I did, and easily.I will demonstrate, once again, that top design capability is the most important ingredient in a technology company.AND HERE IT IS: have designed a new type of production winder that can replace ALL current ones, including Blair winders and Koepes, at much lower cost, better functionality and increased safety. Am looking for a global company interested in this design. Profit potential enormous. The future has arrived!Unfortunately mining companies as well as their suppliers are very conservative. I have sent this design to almost all suppliers and to many mining companies without getting a single reply. Yes, I can understand the reluctance, but a very simple and cheap way would be to build a reduced scale demo model. Undoubtedly, once the advantages are clear, the new design will dominate the market.Who is open minded enough to give it a shot?
