Starting a FAQ's thread (This will be updated periodically):
1. Is TQ a crypto company? No. We use blockchain as a tool to provide authentication systems using a private blockchain deployment along with smart contracts to manage the varied challenges faced by the US Military and our customers.
2. Background on the principal inventor, John Wood: Mr. Wood has experience and interests in multiple technical areas and is the author of eight issued US patents. His undergraduate education at the University of Southern California was in chemistry (BS), and his graduate education at the University of California, Santa Barbara, was in physical chemistry (MA). While at UCSB, he designed an experimental setup to use a shock tube and a low-power Q-switched laser to use the Raman emissions to be the first to accurately measure the outer portion of the vibrational potential well as it approached decomposition. Over the years, he has made major contributions to advanced analytical chemistry, air monitoring, and monitoring control systems. In the most recent several years, Lockheed Martin applied for patents for many of his innovative ideas in diverse fields. He is experienced in devising innovative solutions to complex technical challenges. Mr. Wood is skilled in hands-on laboratory and other technical work. He is certified by the State of California as a Radiation Safety Officer for the South Coast Air Quality Management District. *We will release a more thorough background in the coming weeks.
3. What are you doing in the Ukraine? TQ provides a communications tool for Ukrainian civilians and a variety of Aid workers and organizations within Ukraine. We currently have around 150,000 people using our services daily, all at no cost to the user. TQ is committed to continuing to fund this effort to keep people free to communicate without fear of an enemy listening in.
4. How many employees and consultants does TQ currently have? TQ employs (full-time, part-time, and consultants) around 22 people. We are still very small, and we’re focused on growing. We anticipate hiring a new scientific team and building the associated laboratory and production facilities to help us get to market as quickly as we can.
5. How soon until we see superconductors in everyday technology? We are still around 10 to 20 years away from seeing this technology used in everyday electronics. We all have these amazing “things” with no real utility. The next step is to find ways to incorporate this technology in a variety of ways. Our focus is on turning the superconductor into shielded wiring as a natural first step. We will also be licensing material and processes to companies that can develop these products more rapidly.
