Education
- BS, Electrical Engineering, Milwaukee School of Engineering, 1976
- MBA, Technology Management, University of Phoenix, 2000
Career
During the late 1980s and early 1990s he was affiliated with Dreisbach ElectroMotive, Inc. (DEMI) of Santa Barbara, California, a firm developing rechargeable zinc-air battery technology for electric-vehicle applications. He subsequently founded Energetics Technology, LLC in Santa Barbara, where he continued to work on energy-related research and development.
Work
At Dreisbach ElectroMotive, Danczyk contributed to the development of a maintenance-free rechargeable zinc-air battery intended to operate at room temperature. The technology was promoted as offering a substantially higher energy density than the nickel-cadmium and lead-acid batteries then common in electric vehicles. His work included testing multi-cell zinc-air battery packs in Chrysler minivans converted to electric drive under the sponsorship of Southern California Edison, as well as longer-range vehicle configurations. This research was reported in Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) technical papers, including "Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries in Electric Vehicle Applications" (1990) and later work on second-generation zinc-air powered electric minivans.
Danczyk has also pursued research into unconventional and alternative energy concepts, including transformers driven by tuned duty-cycle pulses. It is through these interests in alternative energy that his work is catalogued within the dissident-science community.
