My dad works for Grundfos and they make water pumps and other water accessories. I was telling him about the different projects and our need for a rectifier to run the IMO pumps. He said that they are always looking to donate to things/causes and he might get them interested in the Batfish. I'm going to pass the information to him regarding the IMO motors and he's going to see if some of the engineers will want to design a rectifier for us. Hell, they may even build or buy it, too.
In general, they are a very generous company. Every time they have a meeting or a class, they bring in enough food to feed an army and they're always taking their people out to dinner.
