In 2016 Mr. Dillon was issued a patent for an approach to electromagnetic launch and so began a multi-year effort to explore the physics and engineering that could dramatically reduce the cost of launching materials into space, this would finally lead to the formation of Electromagnetic Launch in the fall of 2020. Since then David has become a self-taught expert in the physics of electromagnetic launch with the help of high energy physicists, hypersonic researchers and experts in high temperature super conductors. David is a seaplane pilot, a student of politics, history, and a vibraphone player. He was a candidate for the United States Congress in 2008, running as the Independence party-endorsed candidate in Minnesota’s 3rd district.
