ENERGY SYSTEMS
ECM CONSTRUCTION & ECM CONSULTANTS
The directive was to develop alternative energy systems that could produce energy from land with only a water reserve and assure that the process would be ecologically friendly. So while oil wells run dry, this system will continue to produce energy year after year as long as the sun shines and the earth rotates.
Two systems were designed and received a patent from the U.S. Patent Office. A third system is currently in the design and experimental phase.

The energy research and development effort was in a joint venture between ECM Consultants and ECM Construction of Galveston. The following is a partial description of each of the systems being worked on.
WINDTRAP ENERGY SYSTEM
The WINDTRAP is a system designed to be installed in any remote location in the world that needs additional energy in the form of electricity. It can be shipped anywhere and installed without any heavy equipment. Due to the ability to raise and lower the system it is easy to maintain and thus has a 100 year longevity or more. So while the system will cost less than $25,000, it will produce more than $10,000 worth of energy per year in a relatively high windy area. The design is such that three generators can be supported to provide electricity for home, car, and shop tools. Energy not used can be put back into the grid as authorized by congress. So that sometimes during the year, you will be receiving a check from the light company rather than paying it.
Energy not used can be streamed into the electrical grid thus
providing income from the energy company rather than paying an
electrical bill each month.
EPCON ENERGY SYSTEM
The EPCON system was designed to support a farm or a small business.
The EPCON system can take an acre of
land that has a water reserve under it and create a significant
amount of energy through both wind and light and natural gas
energy. The system is controlled by a computer which analyzes the
energy source as to its intensity and the energy requirements and
utilizes all three if necessary. The solar dish and panels are
capable of following the sun during the day and shut down
during the night. While the solar panels will be developed by
ECM, the solar dish that meets our requirements has been
developed by Solar Steam, Inc of Tacoma Washington. This system
as is the case for the Windtrap can be shipped to site and
installed without any heavy equipment and can be taken down
in the event of severe weather conditions and maintenance.
We did encounter a problem with the patent office on the EPCON PATENT.
If you key in " Serge Grant" in Google Search you can read the patent office
response to our effort to reinstate the patent. Why it is there I do not know
but it has depicted our arguments correctly.
While the concept was certified in 1965, lack of funding has not permitted adequate
resources to develop this system at this time. This system was the
basis for the startup of the corporation. Since significant funding will
be required it was the intent of the originator of the corporation to
develop impressive systems that would catch the eye of future investors.
The second option and intent was to develop a fund generating product
that in itself would support the research effort.
MEG ENERGY SYSTEM
The next phase of Energy System Development will be the
MEG system. It is planned to be housed in a
facility that is displayed below. A pyramid building
will house the generating plant which should provide
energy for a large community. The system will be pollutent free.
The animations are real extracts from videos taken at our development site.
