Richard McWilliams

Richard McWilliams has been a pioneer in the fields of science, technology, and engineering since he was a child. In 1977, at the age of 13, he built a 3-kilowatt laser for a school science project, which caught the attention of General Lawrence A. Skantze, commander of the Aeronautical Systems Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. General Skantze invited Richard to work with the ASD, where he began his lifelong passion for innovation.

In the mid-1980s, Richard founded a consulting company that specialized in a wide range of technologies, including IT hardware and software, communications, systems design, and desalination. In 1984, he developed a laser scanning system that improved the accuracy of CNC technology at the Oregon Graduate Center.

Richard has consulted with companies and organizations around the world, including Hewlett-Packard, and the United States Navy Space War Command, while in Honolulu, he began consulting with the founder of Actus Lend Lease, the largest military housing contractor in the world, on an alternative energy system for base housing at Pearl Harbor.

It was during this project that Richard began to learn about biofuels, biodiesel, and biogas technologies. In 2006, he moved back to Napa Valley and began developing the concept of "Vine to Lines," which uses grape pomace as a substrate to generate biogas.

In 2010, Richard founded Nutrend Energy with his partner. He then moved to Sweden, the world leader in biogas, where he has been researching and developing the Vine to Lines concept for the past three years.

Richard's passion for innovation and his track record of success make him an ideal candidate for investment or sponsorship. He is a visionary leader with the skills and experience to bring the Vine to Lines concept to market. With your support, he can help to make a real difference in the fight against climate change.

In recent years, Richard has also been working on a number of innovations in robotics, artificial intelligence, and materials science. He has filed new patents for a number of robotic technologies, including a new type of robotic arm that is more dexterous and agile than existing robotic arms. He is also working on developing new algorithms for training robots to learn how to perform complex tasks.
