Job Titles:

• Director of Research
• Founder, President, CEO, ParagonSciences and Paragon Power

ParagonSciences Ltd.is a private R&D, manufacturing, and consulting company formed in 1989. Its innovative research programs have allowed it to help design, develop, and manufacture world leading technologies and/or provide important scientific discoveries and technical analysis in a wide range of fields, spanning energy production, climate science, medicine, and sport. Mr. Bock coordinates both ParagonSceinces's and Paragon Power's scientific research, project development & planning, technology RD&D, engineering strategy, and leads the organization of management, engineering, and technical teams related to the commercialization of new technologies. In 2008 ParagonSciences began 5 years of research and development work on a new power generation technology being privately developed in the United States. In 2013 Paragon Power Plant Systems Ltd. was incorporated independently of ParagonSciences to distribute this revolutionary new power system in Canada. Mr. Bock received a degree in Economics and Environmental Science from Middlebury College in 1982. His study of particle physics and chemistry led to his disagreeing with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the concept of a probabilishtic "electron cloud" model as described in conventional Quantum Mechanics theory. Instead he proposed that electrons orbit the atomic nucleus in distinct predictable pathways, essentially 2-dimensional planes, creating super electric currents and powerful magnetic fields that define atomic electron structure, better explain atomic bonding, and explain noble gas structure. A similar theory has recently been shown to be correct, and is one part of a larger theory and supporting research data developed by a ground breaking research physicist and his team. This new theory, and that research data generated, is the basis for the revolutionary low-cost non-polluting power systems that he and his team have since developed, and that Paragon is helping to commercialize. Mr. Bock's college research work also led to his thesis - a technical and economic analysis of the roles oil & gas, coal, nuclear, solar, wind, and other technologies in meeting North America's energy needs. That technical analysis of nuclear power plant systems pointed out inherent design problems related to excessive ionizing radiation and accelerated metal fatigue in reactor vessels and heat exchanger systems used in most plant designs in the United States, and predicted the unforeseen & accelerated decline of the North American nuclear power industry due to these fundamental design flaws. Mr. Bock then worked on Wall Street and in Denver in utility & energy-related project finance for 4 years, prior to founding Paragon Technologies Ltd., an RD&D and consulting company that became ParagonSciences Ltd in 2011.
