Roy McAlister

Founder, Chairman, CTO

Roy McAlister has been a professional engineer, author, and humanitarian for over fifty years. Roy is the inventor of Metrol and holds over 300 patents in renewable energy. Roy also holds Master of Science degrees in Metallurgy, Materials Science, and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kansas.

Mr. McAlister has developed, patented, and demonstrated his inventions to capitalize and initially raise more than $200 Million for his new venture licensees. He also is the Founder and President of the worldwide nonprofit Hydrogen Association.

Roy profitably operated his 60-technician machine shop for three decades, providing engineering services to various aerospace and commercial firms for whom he developed and licensed numerous energy conversion systems and new materials.

Roy’s innovations have created multiple solutions to achieve climate change mitigation, unlimited clean energy, and sustainable prosperity worldwide. With a new way to harvest hydrocarbons, the productive use of carbon changes the economic viability of hydrogen fuel.

Additional inventions licensed by Roy McAlister have been private-labeled including “Craftsman” brand tools by Sears.

Professor McAlister’s background also includes instruction in engineering subjects at the University of Kansas and Arizona State University. His Capstone Student teams won international engineering contests with projects that proved combustion engines, furnaces, and boilers can clean the air by adaptive hydrogen combustion.
