The Concept

Well as everybody knows it takes MONEY! and time, my problem is I spent most all of my money last year and 4 months of my time to build it, and loss of my potencial wages, my little woman was pretty cool with it (thank God.). Then I broke my leg and hired a theif who stole thousands in tools and materials (Bad Year!).

I hope to find a single investor who has deep pockets and the business drive that I don't understand, I would like to head up the redezine of the PODV,   electronic and machinacal systems, test pilot, assist with game field dezine and operations.

The Future

I grew up in North Ridgeville, Ohio, in my late teens we had a game room called Future World; all the modern games, I loved  ZAXXON ... It was a Fighter plane that flew in a 3D game field on a 2D screen it took a little getting use to but at that time I knew I could build a real one, the original dezine was to use 2 golf cart rear ends and control it as a bobcat or zero turn vehicle lifting a person up to a safe hight and giving them a feel of airobatic flight and the gamming sencenation ,the real feel of shooting tennis balls (150MPH+), paint balls, rockets, laser, high intensity strobe, AND KNOWING the Vehicle your in is safe to with stand that abuse from a equal machine in an indoor inviroment with a flat level floor, tempure controlled, confortable and exciting. ( Expencive to some?)

 The Prototype is built for the outdoors; gas engines, Loud, the hight and speed more restricted to ground level Dangers are Very Importand! to Hight of POD and you in it...    *Saftey* !

I'ts main purpose is to take people away from the gamming TV and put them into a more real inviroment to feel the G-Force's, to hear and feel the cannon go off, to shoot a apposing person with so many paint balls it changes there color, Rockets are like kill shots ( many different types), laser and strobe can be used to open Hidden Maze doors in a Game field, Destroy game field targets; Not to blind, AGAIN most importand  is  Safty to the Pilot! 

I was lucky enough to grow up with a machine shop in my basement, My Father built single engine aircraft at our house,( I Solo'd in 7 1/2 hrs Van Nyes Airport CA. 1982 but no licence) air plane's in the back yard, motor cycle's, three wheelers, go-carts, horses, duck's, ect. very unusal child hood but FUN... All the kids worked on the planes and I learned many skills from wielding to sewing and I love the magic of electricity/electronics.

After high School I started as a carpenter helper and then the cable TV came to town and I love my electronics, I started as ground man 3 days into it I was climbing poles, 4 months later I quit one company and was hired as a foreman for another, year after that I was splicing and activating, doing FCC certifications on cable systems around the country, work at several military bases, Cleveland Clinic and 7 years at U S Naval Accademy Annapolis MD, where I specialized in fiber-Optics and RF communications and i'm pretty good with dual tone multifreq,. At that time I was also into RC Helicopters with bottle rockets that drew the attention of a future friend who at the downsizing of the government offered me a job to get into the Elevator industry, I took it. At this time I now have a small business doing outdoor elevators on hillsides called  EDGEWATER TRAM
