Ron Knight is accepting requests for custom solutions
Ron's head is full of ideas. many of those ideas have been "Parked" on our whiteboard for future consideration. These are some ideas he has pursued enough to know that they are very likely possible but he just hasn't had a client interested in them yet. We love to collaborate with our customers on custom solutions. If one of these ideas is one you or your company could use, consider sponsoring the research. Contact us to ask us about that. If you don't see an idea here but you have a request you'd like to make for a custom solution, click here.
Areas where eliminating or reducing corrosion could have profound effects on our world.
Ammunition is stored for long periods of time. Wonderful not to need it, but when you need it, let's face it. You need it. Ammunition is often made of dissimilar metals, which almost always leads to galvanic corrosion. Over time, this can mean primers won't work, moisture can seep into gunpowder chambers, etc. This is why ammunition is rotated out of commission and destroyed. So what if you could stop corrosion? You could extend shelf-life. Store in any conditions. Save money, reduce degradation
Why do we use gold in electronics? Because it doesn't corrode. Same with Silver. Copper is known for its corrosion issues. What if a conductive metal could be made "not to corrode" with the same reliability as gold and silver? How much cheaper then could we manufacture electronics that use gold where that reliability is needed? Stop our electronic connections from corroding by treating them prior to manufacture.
What if metals were treated to stop galvanic and other forms of corrosion before they even made it to their site? Once a material is embedded into or attached to another metal, it becomes very difficult to treat after the fact for corrosion prevention. Rebar that never corroded inside concrete? Steel beams that never corrode on saltwater waterways? This list could go on forever.
The most common failure point between two metals is the fastener. Bolts, nuts, and washers are all subject to galvanic corrosion when they connect dissimilar metals and become conductors for those metals. or worse, when they ARE the dissimilar metal. This causes connection points to corrode more rapidly than the surrounding metals as electrical current passes naturally between them based on their electrical potential. The structure is sound but the fasteners fail. What if we could fix this befor

Finding solutions to problems we have created
There is an invasive seaweed that has affected the Caribbean Ocean very negatively. It traveled there by boat and is having a profound effect on the environment of that ocean. That same seaweed is now affecting the coasts of Florida in the United States. Ron proposes that the seaweed can be harvested and converted to cattle feed as it is full of all the nutrients cattle (and possibly other livestock) needs in their diet. We already know this can be done. We just need to prove it.
