MarkThanks John... I will indeed go with the 140lb for my JLR per Tony's recommendation! I'm on his notification list and will order as soon as it is up and running. I'm a structural engineer and I appreciate your invention and the personal time you are giving here to respond to questions.
Since there has been sort of evolution on pressures I wanted to be sure I am diving in at the right time. Sounds like it.
The users are designing the next EC. I think if we do get a big player like Fox, FCA, or Tenneco interested and they get involved we can add damping and much more for special applications and OEM products. The idea is very simple and the possibilities are endless. Just for safety from blowouts, I can't see why every school bus, or Heavy Highway truck would not require a similar device. This can work in a space where coil spring units cannot fit and this can have 400-500 lbs of centering more than double coil spring units and double the hold this will be invisible to the driver as the power steering will hide it.
We are interested in anyone with ideas as there is an opportunity to make deals. We own all uses of the idea for all applications, not just steering, even when a push and pull spring are put together with a coupling nut using off-the-shelf gas springs, we own it if you or anyone tries to sell it. Because I am the only person in the world who has done gas spring centering and return to the center I am all the prior art so we do want ideas and new uses. And we own all the patents.
