The center provided him with 314 abstracts of which he requested 15 full length articles. His total cost, $100.00, was sufficient to launch his new venture, OEM Products, Inc. The company's flat plate collector design incorporates new black naint developed by Dow-Corning Corn Energy: Big Savings From Smart Motors The Chesebrough Pond's company operates 32 plants across the nation and in these plants are more than 10,000 electric motors. In an effort to cut down on the waste of electrical power used by these motors, Chesebrough organized a Corporate Advanced Technology Group to devise ways of improving productivity and cut manufacturing costs. Chesebrough used the NASA developed Power Factor Controller technology as a departure point for the development of their own computerized motor controller that enables motors to operate at maximum efficiency regardless of the motor's applications or operating condition, thereby saving significant energy costs.
