D. Clint Seward is the discoverer of the Electron Spiral Toroid (EST) and received the initial patents. He has been a research project and program manager for many years, working initially with the US Air Force B-58 Hustler program, and as a project manager and engineering manager in several major corporations. He has been a general manager for a division of a large international company, and president of his own company for more than ten years. Seward is the VP Engineering of Electron Power Systems. He has worked on the technology since its inception in 1986. He has the responsibility for organizing the experiments and bringing qualified people in to help with the work.
