Dear Charles,
I assume this was a receipt of my submission. I tried to fulfill all of the Preperposal requirements. If I've left anything out please tell me and I'll respond as quickly as possible. It's very good that you've been able to secure funding for such a project. Most financiers only wish to fund projects using old technology, they're more worried about their money than the planet.
Thanks
John

Preproposal To fight Climate Change
 
John N. Hait, in...@drhait.info
 
• What hypothesis do you propose and why do you propose it?
 
24/7 Solar Energy Powered Geothermal Storage and Electric Generation.
 
Also Higher efficiency wind
 
And Day/Night Temperature Difference Electric Generation
 
Wave Power (if we get enough money to build by a beach.)
 
Higher Efficiency Storage of Solar Energy for generation of electricity both for local utilities and EV recharging and sales oasis. The planet desperately needs practical help that can be quickly implemented worldwide to replace fossil fuels. 24/7 Solar can be installed easily in Africa, America, Mexico and any other place that needs a suitable replacement for greenhouse gas producing technologies.
 
• Briefly, how will you test your hypothesis?
 
Construct an example non-commercial sized 24/7 Solar storage and electric generation facility. See http://advanced-how-to.info/ebooks/ '24/7 Solar” ebook for technology and “Executive Summary” of Business Plan for exponential worldwide growth method to be initiated only.
 
• Which field of science or group of scientists does your proposal
 
challenge?
 
Popular commercial use of renewable energy, although the science is well known, only the configurations are new. Common commercial photovoltaic methods are only 15% efficient, and even less using expensive batteries, and those 3-bladed windmills allow 95% of the wind's energy to blow between the blades. It can't be too difficult for solar powered geothermal to beat that! And initiate manufacturing from our first example.
 
Dr. John N. Hait
 
50 years experience both as a scientist, home builder, contractor and commercially licensed electronic engineer. I have 20 US Patents (many of which have gone worldwide,) and 20 on the way. Designed and directed the building of the world's first PAHS earth shelter In Missoula, Montana (average annual air temperature = 43.5° F.) This home maintains a comfortable internal temperature year-round, without a furnace, air conditioner, over-sized windows or use of any commercial outside energy. With an adjustable internal temperature, last measured at 74° F. It's just always nice. (See my articles in Mother Earth News and Popular Science.) It works without machinery, but uses properly laid out natural heat flow to store Solar Energy by cooling the home in the summer for heating the home in winter. It's an expansion of the work published by the University of Minnesota. Home was built in 1980. Solar heat captured from within the home heats the earth around the home measured 10 feet behind the building at 70° F.
 
My first book (now on Amazon,) “Passive Annual Heat Storage, Improving the Design of Earth Shelters,” 1983 sold in 25 countries, and PAHS homes have been built around the world. I'm currently handicapped and retired, but I can still write, teach, and inspect locations under construction.

APPLICATIONS FOR FUNDING OPEN - 1 Update
 
APPLICATIONS FOR FUNDING OPEN
 
Charles Fraser <cdm...@gmail.com>: Mar 29 07:59PM +0100
 
Dear friends of The *Foundation For Common Good*
 
I am delighted to let you know that Professor Gerald Pollack, professor of
 
bio-engineering at The University of Washington [
 
http://faculty.washington.edu/ghp/
 
<http://t.yesware.com/tt/54eacdd63cdf08e2f4e6c29383f8518f5036af71/f9990b6124495e87293c88e07c948ea8/ad102e20a5a6937c5bbbe821f9617fbd/faculty.washington.edu/ghp/>],
 
has successfully financed *The Institute for Venture Science*
 
<http://t.yesware.com/tt/54eacdd63cdf08e2f4e6c29383f8518f5036af71/f9990b6124495e87293c88e07c948ea8/d73015df42cc9b91e985f0ebb503156d/www.theinstituteforventurescience.net/>
 
(IVS) that he created and is the executive director of. $1bn per year is
 
the estimated cashflow of the IVS for the first 10 years and those funds
 
are dedicated to funding scientific research to:
 
[image: Inline images 1]
 
Promising Ideas that Challenge Conventional Thinking:
 
The Institute for Venture Science (IVS) will fund high-risk,
 
non-traditional scientific inquiries that may produce fundamental
 
breakthroughs. We identify the most promising challenges to prevailing
 
paradigms. We then simultaneously fund multiple research groups worldwide
 
for each selected challenge.
 
I have been working to help Professor Pollack to get the IVS going (however
 
unsuccessfully) yet he has very kindly offered me a window to submit
 
pre-proposals for funding before they open to the general public (between
 
now and the 20th of April).
 
I have plans to work with some of you on this and will be contacting you
 
directly but otherwise please follow the instructions below and send to me
 
your pre-proposals and I will include them with the pre-proposals I have
 
also developed in this special opportunity we have to be among the first
 
selected for funding.
 
Preproposal
 
Pre-proposal Instructions
 
Those interested in submitting a proposal to the IVS must first submit a
 
pre-proposal. Pre-proposals should be no more than two pages long, plus
 
title page. They must follow the format below, each section beginning with
 
the indicated heading. Otherwise, they will be returned without review.
 
Please tell us the following, using language understandable to non-experts:
 
• What hypothesis do you propose and why do you propose it?
 
• Why is your proposal of earth-shaking significance?
 
• Briefly, how will you test your hypothesis?
 
• Which field of science or group of scientists does your proposal
 
challenge?
 
A title page should include your name, contact information, and
 
pre-proposal title. Be sure to append your resume or CV when you submit.
 
A few suggestions for preparation:
 
1. Scope. We are seeking proposals that have the capacity to turn
 
conventional thinking upside down. Proposals with modest goals will not
 
receive favorable evaluation. Nor will proposals with weak rationale. We
 
understand that a two-page proposal cannot include comprehensive supporting
 
arguments. (These will be requested later at the full proposal stage.)
 
2. Clarity. Reviewers of your pre-proposal may include people outside your
 
field. Acronyms, abbreviations, jargon and the like not defined in the
 
document should not be used. It goes without saying that unclear
 
pre-proposals will not be favorably reviewed. To reach the next stage, you
 
will need to use clear writing to convince reviewers that you have a
 
potentially powerful idea that could reshape scientific thinking.
 
3. Technology. We do not support technology development, although we
 
understand that new technologies may arise from your research. Successful
 
applications will generally propose testable hypotheses on fundamental
 
scientific concepts rather than on development of technology.
 
4. Feedback. Expect brief comments on your pre-proposal. Regrettably, we
 
have no capacity to respond to questions about the content of these brief
 
reviews.
 
5. Success. Successful applicants will be encouraged to submit full
 
proposals in which detailed arguments can be presented.
 
6. Failure. Unsuccessful applicants are discouraged from submitting full
 
proposals. In future rounds, however, they may submit new pre-proposals
 
without prejudice. Those who consider the negative response unjust are
 
nevertheless free to submit full proposals, although they should consider
 
whether the exercise is worth the effort. A brief response to the
 
pre-proposal critique, one page or less, may accompany the full proposal
 
submission.
 
Sincerely yours,
 
Charles

Dear friends
 
I feel it relevant to say that the $1bn per year is an
assumption based on Professor Pollack informing
me that they have their first round of funding and
I know what the annual funding allocation is. I do not
know what in fact that first round of funding
amounts to. Some are finding this hard to believe.
 
Please do make use of this window to be among the
first applications to be reviewed before it is open to
the general public.
 
My thanks
Charles
