Introducing Gary and Nate Olmein, New Washington State Authorized Representatives.
We welcome Gary and Nate Olmein to the ALL Power Labs Authorized Representative family. They've been hard at work since their Power Pallet arrive a couple months ago, and already have a website that makes our Bay Area efforts look amateur. See here: http://www.woodgasnorthwest.com/. They have big plans for developing small scale gasification installations throughout Washington state and beyond. They'll be holding regular demo events for locals to see the machines and inquire about the details. We get many of you writing from the Northwest, and now we finally have someone (actually two, see below), in the neighborhood for you to visit. The first opportunity is this weekend and next at the Seattle Home Show. "The Seattle Home Show is the Northwest's largest consumer home show, with everything for the home - indoors and out - at two annual shows in downtown Seattle at CenturyLink Field Event Center. The Spring and Fall shows present hundreds of exhibits including builders, remodelers, the latest appliances and fixtures, decorating, landscaping . . . everything from floor to ceiling and beyond. Attendees also enjoy special features including seminars and wine tasting." The Olmein's have a booth and Power Pallet at the show. See their picture from the first day: http://wiki.gekgasifier.com/w/file/63731980/olmeim%20WA-AR%20at%20expo.jpeg and the report below. >From Gary & Nate Olmeim: We had some great exposure & feedback for our first day. I would say we had more than 300 people through the booth in 10 hours & many were very enthusiastic. Handed out lots of info. There were times when we had 8-10 people at once watching a description of the process. Attached is a photo showing that kind of scene. It's interesting, out of the 100's, there were maybe 6-8 that mentioned seeing the pallet on line. So, there's definitely some great exposure in this process. We will provide more updates & photos as the show progresses.

He comes from fabrication and construction background, and sees lots of potential for these machines on remote location construction sites. Oregon has a few of these I've heard . . . A few months ago, Allen drove north from APL with his new Power Pallet in the back of his pickup truck. He tells us he ended up doing a demo in every rest stop he paused at along I-5. Between rest stops he entertained himself listening to the trucker CB chatter trying to figure out what the thing was in the pickup truck-- which is maybe why he seemed to arrive at rest stops with a ready made audience of truckers. Since then, Allen has been travelling the state for a variety of shows and workshops. He had the Power Pallet at the Power Pallet at the NW Ag show Jan 29-31, as well as the Northeast Oregon Biomass Energy Workshop in La Grande in early December. The focus to date has been on the nut growing sectors in ag, and the highly stressed forestry industries in Eastern Oregon. The Oregon Department of Forestry has also taken an interest, and more conference demos are in planning. I don't yet have the full report from the shows, but at the very least, here's the booth from the AG show! http://wiki.gekgasifier.com/w/file/63731862/NWAgshow.jpg Allen is hosting his first "at home" demo next weekend, Saturday Feb 23rd, at the H&L world headquarters in Gresham, Oregon. He is betting everyone coffee and donuts that attendees will find it interesting. As Allen is a very smart and interesting gent, lots of donuts and coffee are going to be passed in one direction or another. And as my family is most recently from fabulous Pendleton Oregon, maybe we can organize a gang to drive down I-84 for the show. Hello Pendleton? Info on the demo event is here: http://wiki.gekgasifier.com/w/file/63731865/Feb%2023%20Demo%20pdf.pdf For general information on Allen's endeavors, as well as how to contact him for projects, see his new website here: http://hlerectors.com/heatlightpower/index.html# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On other fronts, more job announcements are coming this week. In the interim, remember we have some open positions already posted here: http://gekgasifier.com/forums/index.php?/forum/56-job-opportunities/ More soon, jim PS- Next open house at APL is March 8th.
