Phase I — Electrical & Electromechanical (1966–1969)
Thermomagnetic systems, relays, and control methods that foreshadowed later materials research.
Patents
Verified Patent Corpus
This corpus includes every George G. Merkl patent currently verified in the archive. The set is anchored by activated aluminum chemistry and extends into pollutant capture, inorganic complexes, and industrial applications. Each entry is tied back to primary patent records.
A small number of additional patents appear in secondary records but have not yet been reconciled with the verified corpus. These are tracked in the discrepancies ledger until they can be confirmed.
Evidence boundary: a patent is a primary record of an invention disclosure and legal claims. It is not independent validation of commercial performance, later product claims, or Merkl's biological and cosmological theories.
