Michael Waters is an advanced technology consultant, researcher, inventor and sustainable recovery strategist. He has previously owned businesses in, designed and built: multi-axis robotics, adaptive manufacturing systems, experimental aircraft, custom homes, portable housing systems and advanced research. Michael's automated disaster recovery and library preservation systems are used worldwide at institutions such as the Library of Congress, the National Archives and the Russian Academy of Sciences, instrumental in recovery of the worst library fire disaster of the last century.
In the last eighteen years Michael has researched cutting edge science, technologies and their potential synergistic impact. This has helped established a large collaborative network of researchers and breakthroughs with potential to revolutionize fields of energy, mining, health, food, water, transportation, housing, sustainable economics and environmental recovery. The purpose of this research has been to discover causes of and solutions for the increasing number of global crises we face.
A primary focus has been energy R&D, working with breakthroughs that uncover new understandings in physics. Underlying discoveries help explain why current global business and environmental models are fundamentally unsustainable. Michael is currently working with a number of organizations involved in advanced energy, mining, agriculture, sustainability and project finance. Michael's inventions span diverse fields including energy, robotics, fluidics, conservation, aviation and housing.
Aviation background
Mike has built a number of different types of aircraft and also flown over 200 different aircraft including general aviation, experimental, low wing, high wing, midwing, bushplanes, seaplanes, hang gliders, ultralights, paragliders, microlights, biplanes, aerobatic, taildraggers, trikes, twins, autogyros, helicopters. A competition sailplane pilot for over 12 years. Additional

MCAS (Moldless Composite Aircraft System) with advantages over both aluminum and composite manufacturing. This enables many aircraft wing structures to be lighter, stronger and built in far less time than current aluminum or composite approaches.

Microturbulation – wind tunnel tested by a Canadian university. Significant drag reduction was observed at both low and high speed.
Vision VTOL - Vision was designed around a number of recent advances in electric energy storage and power density. It was realized that these breakthroughs would enable a long range wingless electric aircraft with vertical takeoff capability, effectively making wings redundant. This results in a significant reduction in complexity and cost while increasing reliability and safety over wings and conventional fuel based power systems.
