  • Woodward "Woody" Stanford - requesting an article on the founder of Stanford Systems. History as succumbing to schizophrenia preventing his entry of the Daedalus PSC system in the original X-Prize competition. Returned to business in 2014 designing the DBeta suborbital and the Daedalus PSC true suborbital. Might mention EXPER-VERTEX as a minor theory pertaining to Grand Unification, as it is making strides these days in the physics community. Homepage: http://woodystanford.wordpress.com

  • Pliant energy systems (Pliant Energy Systems is a private research company developing novel mechanical transducers with applications in the fields of energy harnessing, pumping, propulsion and marine robotics. This is my company, but I think the novelty of the technology we are developing will be of interest to the general population, since it is both technologically and visually interesting. I also think that our innovations in fluid dynamics, continuum mechanics and autonomy may be of interest to scientists and innovators in different fields.)

  • Way oil - Aka. way lube: Oil made for lubricating machine tool ways. Mentioned in one section at Cutting fluid#Liquids:

    Way oil (the oil made for machine tool ways) works as a cutting oil. In fact, some screw machines are designed to use one oil as both the way oil and cutting oil. (Most machine tools treat way lube and coolant as separate things that inevitably mix during use, which leads to tramp oil skimmers being used to separate them back out.)
