Electric Pipeline Corporation has invented and is developing polymer insulated electric pipelines "elpipes" for transmission of 3-30 GW through a pair of underground HVDC lines. Elpipes fit inside a pipeline that is similar to a gas pipeline, or they may be installed at the surface on conventional or narrow gauge railroad tracks. The train like features of elpipes make them convenient to install and convenient to repair.

Ballistic Breaker Company (BB Co.)
After my last meeting with my CleanTech Open + MassChallenge mentor team at Deloitte's conference room in Waltham (Thanks, Zam!), I got clarity on what to do about the fact that I have two different inventions, elpipes and Ballistic Breakers in my portfolio. I already know that elpipes will not be VC financeable, and I don't want to throw them into the BB deal if they are not seen for the jewels they are. I liked Mark Haddad's idea to just grant EPC a permanent license to practice any BB technology patent developed by BB Co at voltage > 300kV, DC only, non-exclusive, and subject to a minimum ownership interest in EPC for me. I'm working out the details now.
