Founder’s Report to the Partnership for 2009 &
2010
Greetings Interstate Travelers!
Dear Partner,
As the Founder and Fiduciary of this great company, it becomes my duty, as well
as pleasure to report to you in summary on how our company has now grown to
include 265 Partners. I hope this
report will help you to understand how our network of Partners and Production
Associates represents as a global network of leaders in automotive, aerospace
and infrastructure development industries that stand at the ready to launch a
global network of production facilities to mass produce the
You are consecutive Partner #( ) with a total number of ( ) Units owned by you.
Just over seven years have passed since this company incorporated in 2003 and
now more than 15 years since I began this work on
By the end
of 2003 we had been given letters of endorsement from many prominent
organizations including District 2 of the United Steel Workers of America, the
Michigan Chapter of the
We have within our company an amazing collection of talented and successful people from all walks of life. Clearly our ability to launch production relies upon our seasoned and salty bunch of Partners that have been building automotive production line equipment for decades. While our Partnership has great experience and talent within our ranks, we are also working with 3rd party contractors whom we call our Production Associates that collectively represent hundreds of engineers, tool and die makers, model makers and automotive production automation specialists that literally build automotive assembly lines that the Big Three and others all employ to manufacture their cars. Our relationships with the skilled trades union such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers gives us direct access to literally thousands of unemployed skilled workers ready to start a new career building the HyRail nation wide
Further, the merits of the
Please be informed that we are considering the potential of a Unit split, in which case the following scenario may be executed: Per Unit value is presently $400.00 USD / Unit, therefore a 100 to 1 Unit Split would enable a reduction in the per Unit cost to $4.00 USD / Unit and retain the per unit value on the strait ratio. This reduces the barrier of entry dramatically yet preserves the equity value for all the existing Partners. As a direct example if you currently have a Certificate for 10 Units, (again, only IF we proceed with the split) you will receive a new Certificate for 1,000 Units. Then the total number of Units issued will rise from 400,000 to 40,000,000 Units. This has not taken place yet, and may not ever take place, but it is an option under consideration.
Finally, as the Managing Partner it is also my duty to request that you please fill out and return to the main office the five the enclosed forms. Please fill out the forms in your original handwriting and sign and return in the enclosed envelope
Form #1 Partner Contact Information Validation Form
Form #2 Partner / Founder Meeting and Special Event Request Form
Form #3 Partner Committee Volunteer Form
Form #4 Optional Partner Equity Investment Form
(Forms 1,2, 3 and 4 are on one sheet of paper)
Form #5 Partnership Conference Registration Form
One last request: As the Founder I extend to you my full measure of gratitude for your part in building and sustaining this company. One of the best ways I can do this is to ask each of you to help me build a broader and more contextual historic record of our Partnership by authoring and sending to me an original signed letter addressed to me that explains how you were introduced to the company, a little bit about yourself and your positive vision for the future.
Our Partnership now has years of history with direct connections in dozens of countries We have met with trade delegations from many nations via official channels in the US Department of Commerce, the Trade Development Agency, the Consulate General and the US Department of State officials at various Embassies we have visited with or otherwise engaged in our work.
With the daily assistance of several dozen Lead Partners we have been
able to keep the HyRail moving forward internationally and in
Leading Partners like our Chief Communications Officer Jim Griffin with Partners Larry Davis, Bill Powell, John Martin, Ken Howard and Andre Sauvageot and others, we have kept a finger on the pulse in DC and have enabled dozens of high profile meetings with Congressman, Senators, Department of Commerce Officials, Department of State Officials, US Trade Development Agency Officials, US Consulate General Officials, and US Department of Interior, Defense, Energy, Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration as well. At one meeting last year five of our Partners attended a dinner with the Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and four of our Partners asked Secretary Salazar about our system and hydrogen in general.
Leading
Partners Nazma Ahmed, Tahir H. Rasheed and Corbett Kroehler organized, funded
and engaged in a 10 day international trade mission to the Middle East which led
to the origination of an historic three page official Aide Memoire from the
Ministry of Railways in Pakistan preceded by a formal letter of support from the
Mayor of the seventh largest city in the world, Karachi Pakistan.

While all of this is going on, we continue to have to support multiple phone lines, rents and utilities and internet service and printing costs and travel expenses etc which have been covered by the diligent efforts of Managing Partner Lewis Magee and his family including Partners Erskin, Ralph and Rudy Magee have been key to solving some financial needs in 2009 and Partners like Dean Moen and Dr. David Farlow keeping 2010 moving forward.. Without the equity investments of the Partners, we would not be able to hold our position in the international marketplace.

The HyRail main beam (Conduit Cluster) is made from seven plates of steel
that comprise the central support with two pyramid shaped pylons every 16 and a
half feet (made from the same plate
steel) to hold up two or more one foot diameter rail tubes that contain and
support the maglev coils. The
plates of steel and tubes will be automatically loaded into a robotic assembly
line to be welded together. Our
projections for production of rail are 200 sections per day that are 80 feet in
length for a total of 16,000 lineal feet of rail per day, or 3.03 miles per day.
After surface treatment, the rail tubes the filled magnet packs made from solenoids (electromagnetic coils [electromagnet]) that are repeated millions of times over in a radial pattern inside the tube. A solenoid is a piece of soft iron rod wrapped with a coil of wire that, when electrified, creates a large concentrated magnetic field within the iron rod as it’s core and primary axis. A simple production machine, less complicated that a machine that makes gym socks all day, can be built to produce 3 solenoids a minutes, or 180 an hour. Therefore 100 machines will produce 18,000 solenoids an hour which is 432,000 solenoids in just 24 hours of production. If the solenoid winding machines cost $500,000.00 each, that is only $50,000,000.00 for 100 machines
This compared to an automobile that has as anywhere from 5,000 different parts to as much or more than 10,000 parts with most of the parts getting redesigned almost yearly. Now THAT is complex! The work of building cars in a factory at a rate of 200 cars a day compared to building 200 sections of rail per day is almost silly to compare.
The production of solenoids require only a feed of iron rod at ½ inch diameter or less, and a feed of copper wire approximately 1/16 inch and a polycarbonate matrix to set the coils in the array. Our solenoid production is almost as simple as making a light bulb.
Our cost estimate for the

With the several hundred Partners who have funded our activities and volunteered their time, we are blessed by the time honored phrase: The sum of our Parts are greater than the whole. Our Partners represent an amazing cross section of humanity with great international connections.
Our Partnership has grown this large step by step, Partner by Partner, trade mission after trade mission, but none of it would be possible without the help of each and every contribution to equity and operational costs. As the Fiduciary of the LLC it is my obligation to give you first right of refusal to purchase additional equity in the Partnership to help defray costs and increase your percentage of ownership. For your convenience we have listed an array of investment levels to purchase additional equity and help cover our costs.
