As CTO, Managing Engineer and Design Engineer for a variety of technology companies, Tim has generated numerous innovations and performed analysis, design and optimization, prototyping, testing (and often manufacturing design) for scores of advanced devices. Tim originated, designed and demonstrated an ultra-high performance thermal barrier for planetary probes, and an isothermal expander for the LN2 engine of a commuter car. He designed a successful thermal and chemical processing module for brand new silicon-wafer-coating cluster tool and related equipment. He performed design and thermal/structural analysis for X-ray lithography stepper machine and 500,000-bump wafer solder press. He designed the thermal control of a laser IR spectroscopy system for explosives detection. Generated breakthrough concepts and used thermal and structural FEA and thermodynamic modeling to optimize the design of a demonstrator/research heat-engine-heat-pump. Tim also designed 65K and 30K prototype Stirling space cryocoolers, engineering models and test apparatus for these machines, as well as a 4K regeneration concept. He devised highly innovative designs for a Stirling shipboard refrigerator, truck refrigerator and heat-fired home heat pump as well as a Malone cooler. He also produced concepts for a home power, air conditioning and refrigeration system with full analysis and global optimization. He designed a passively-cooled superconducting space power bus, a simulated hydrogen slush maker, a fusion reactor diverter vane HX, liquid sodium AMTEC cells, an EDM slot cutting machine. Mr. Peery received his Mechanical Engineering Degree from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, with Honors & Distinction.
