Incredible... think is the best adjective but adequate for this initiative... this is an example for other countries that are willing to be transformed from commodities suppliers into technical one's.

I would recommend building silicone from sand as well. Silicon can replace carbon usually derived from petrochemical stock in silicone polymers, gels, paints , etc... If the producers of petroleum become the largest producers of silicone materials , the world will be better off and Dubai and the Arab emirates will be richer.. But I had offered his highness the sheikh one of my patents and never got a reply .. May be the sheikh is mainly interested in real estate not in the rebirth of arab genius at Chemistry and engineering. I have invented several engines, new types of cars, trucks, scooters, sportscars, rickshaws,concrete trains and am working on using the sea for agricultural production in deserts... But all I can do is to wish the Arab Emirates continued succes at their own speed. Address: Michel Gamil Rabbat, 1042 Cornwall Dr , Holiday , Florida 34691, USA e-mail : samcamtwins@Yahoo.com
