You don't know your patent numbers? Most folks have them on the wall, often in gold (the metal not the color).

Dear Bobby,
My mistake. Choose inventor name in the field on the right and type, "Cherry, Mark A." in the field on the left. I just tried it and it brings up the patents including my high efficiency toilet flushing system :-). - I know, it has nothing to do with engines, but it works.
Sincerely,
Mark Cherry

Anyone able to get this to work? I found no place to ask for inventor's name. One advanced search is busted. The other produces the same as the normal search on the home page - 11 responses - about various Marks in Cherry Hill NJ.
Any tips?

Dear Dh,
Patents are public information and freely available to the public. Simply go to www.uspto.gov and type Mark A. Cherry in the in the inventor's name and search. This should bring up all the patent numbers.
Don't worry about the investors - the SEC has very strict rules on seeking investment and I would definitely not look for investors on this list.
Sincerely,
Mark Cherry

You know, if you would give the international and other patent numbers there might be some funding. And the whole concept of patents is to get the information out to people. All people and all the information is the patent requirement. Just the patent numbers are all that is required.
Come on, get serious - I don't believe that you will get any investors from this list. Try one of the money for nothing lists or I just made $200,000 last month for setting on my @#$ lists because I sent in $19.95 in 5 easy payments.
Put up, or shut up.

Mark,
Thank you for your forthright reply.
Good luck with your search for private placement investors.
I am still wanting a set.
Please pass along to your marketing team that internet marketing can be incredibly inespensive. If they start collecting email addresses, when you announce production start-up, they will have a list of customers ready to go.

Dear Sirs:
We have been, for the last three years, working on a US Army Funded SBIR program that will allow the army to use the SmartPlug technology to run Carbureted Honda Generators on JP-8 ( military jet A) and on #2 Diesel. We current are under the third SBIR Contract or Phase II Plus. We have delivered 5 generators to the army for their testing and evaluation. The military does not spend millions of dollars on a technology that is a scam, but rather they have seen with their own eyes the ability of the SmartPlug to precisely time any internal combustion engine with a constantly hot catalyst. We can rope start these 8.5:1 generators at -25F in one to two pulls and reach rated power with out detonation. Our exhaust is transparent and as clean or cleaner than the factory spark and gasoline operation.
We can't sell product on a large scale until we have raise the proper funding to build the factory. We have been seeking such funding since 2000. At Oshkosh 2001, we thought we had fully funded our company. But after 9/11 all of the promised investment disappeared. It might come as a surprise to you, but building a SmartPlug factory is a multimillion dollar undertaking and without the factory, we can only build SmartPlugs on a custom order basis and that is painstakingly slow and costly.
We have 5 international patents on our technology and are working with several major players in the automotive industry and are also discussing with several aircraft companies.
I would love to be able to sell SmartPlugs to all who want them too, but post 9/11 I am just thankful that our patents are still enforce and that we are still here, unlike so many other start-up companies that are not.
The bottom line is that the product works. We are driving a Olds Quad 4 with SmartPlugs, have an STC on the O-200 in progress and we are preparing to go into production with Honda Generators converted to operate on JP-8 and Diesel using the SmartPlug Technology. At the University of Idaho, we have a Ford 351 van running on 35% water and 65% ethanol and also a yanmar diesel converted to run on Homogeneous mixtures of air and 35%water and 65% ethanol. We are struggling but we are planning to go into production for certain niche markets after we have raised the capital for the factory. Perhaps your group might be the source of our factory financing? Do you have any accredited investors who would like to review our Private Placement Memorandum? If so, availability of SmartPlugs might be sooner than you think.
Sincerely,
Mark Cherry

Ernest,
If you had a product that did what they claim, would you have the store shut-down or would you be accumulating a waiting list? I looked at their website a month or so ago, and the store was shut down. I looked a few minutes ago and it was still shut down.
I think the explanation was contained in the Sport Aviation article back in the last century - 1999, "Part of the development of the SmartPlug has been financed by a NASA small business innovative research (SBIR) contract." I think this may have been a scam to get grant money.
If Sport Aviation has said this about your spark plugs,"
In a recent demonstration at NASA Glenn, a Continental 0-200 equipped with SmartPlugs produced normal power on 87 octane and 100LL avgas and actually picked up 75 rpm using Jet-A with no visible exhaust emissions." - would you not be selling those plugs - six years later. They just said these plugs let you burn kerosene with an increase in power. That is the engineering equivalent of walking on water.
In 2002 they had them on the market:<http://www.smartplugs.com/news/aeronews0502.htm>
But now they don't - something is fishy.
Lots of press releases until 10 - 2003 but nothing since.
I'm sending the head of the company a copy - maybe he'll clear this up.
I hope I missed something - I want a set also.

Have any of you guys who are still talking about Greenfire actually looked
at the Smart Plugs site? Or do you think I've just been bullshitting?
Then you'll REALLY have something to talk about...Multi-fuel capable AND no
distributor AND lots newer data than Greenfire AND the same kind of nose
ports and flow questions only more so...
