OUR MISSION

Klinkman Solar Design (KSD) is an innovative partnership formed with the mission of bringing forth some of the many inventions of Paul Klinkman (see bio details, right column) and offering them to a world hungry for clean, effective & affordable energy, local, year-round gardening & farming, and much more.

AT THIS TIME, WE'RE WORKING TO MAKE TWO MAIN PRODUCTS AVAILABLE

KSD CONCENTRATING SOLAR/HEAT RETAINING GREENHOUSE: We are already prepared to offer design & consulting for building a great solar greenhouse -- extra, evenly distributed sunlight on the plants in winter, lower crop insurance risk because heavy snow won't collapse the structure, more temperature control & unbeatable total lifetime costs. (Patent in process)

KSD SOLAR SAVER HEAT/HOT-WATER SYSTEM. This unique system inexpensively stores heat for on-demand heating. We expect it to be in a price range that competes with natural gas, oil & propane heating costs. We can retrofit most buildings. (Patent in Process).

INNOVATION MEETS INTERFAITH!

Our first unique working KSD Solar Heat/Hot Water System is going up at Temple Am-David in Warwick, RI. The project is an incredible example of interfaith cooperation between people dedicated to sustainability. We are Quakers – our partners in this endeavor include Liz Marsis, RI Interfaith Power & Light; Rabbi Rick Perlman & Lee Lerner, Temple Am-David; Edmund Jones, Director of Community Stewardship at Open Table of Christ Methodist Church, Tom Finegan, Master Plumber, and more.

WHO WE ARE

PAUL KLINKMAN , Prolific inventor & KSD Research & Development Director, has a Masters degree in Computer Science from the University of Rhode Island and a BS in Computer Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Innovation : Paul has designed 50 inventions over the past 40 years, including computer hardware & software, propellant gathering & other space inventions, alternative energy, including a solar greenhouse (prototype built by Paul & a partner in Attleboro) transportation & commercial solar electric designs, a method for growing algae, and (seriously) restoring the polar ice pack! His long inventing career began early on when he designed an automobile bumper that won a Best Bumper Award in a national engineering college competition.

Background : Paul’s skills and smarts earned him a full scholarship to Worcester Polytechnic Institute. An early math whiz with a genius IQ, he won a Silver Medal, the only one in New England, for an interscholastic math test in 1971. His team won the RI Math League State Championship the same year. Paul’s interest and knowledge of construction began while helping his father build houses at age of 9 -12. By 13, he assisted his mother to finish the interior of their new RI house.

Here is inventor Paul Klinkman inside the KSD solar greenhouse prototype on January 16, 2010, with a with a freshly rolled snowball, next to a thermometer showing 78 degrees F.

LIBERTY GOODWIN, Paul’s wife. In the late 1970s, as research associate at CT-based Fund for Secure Energy (FUSE), she explored many alternative energy options & concerns. She is presently Director of the non-profit Toxics Information Project (TIP).

DISTRIBUTORS & MANUFACTURERS WANTED!

It is KSD’s business plan to work together with local small businesses as licensees that will market, manufacture and install products based on our designs.

If, as we expect, demand grows, we will add more local outlets. No offshore outsourcing!

Are you selling heat systems for years of “Return on Investment?

If you can’t give the homeowner a guarantee that fuel prices will remain affordable forever, then you haven’t built an economical house. Consider our KSD “Solar Saver” Heating System instead.
