Salmon Technologies was formed to develop new technology for electrostatic motors and generators. The technology employs a disk architecture with high surface charge achieved using ion-implantation. By operating at 10,000 volts with no magnetic losses, it may provide improved energy efficiency over electro-magnetic motors, as well as a more compact size. The energy density target is 5HP per pound, representing disruptive technology for powering air and ground vehicles.

Peter led a small group of systems engineers and talented consultants to develop a new form of printing called digital packet printing, using dry toners and electrostatic imaging. This printing method requires no optics in the form of laser beams or photo conductive drums; rather the image is written by direct manipulation of the toner particles. The method worked dramatically well, but the company stumbled with regard to transferring the image to a drum or belt. Peter has written a new patent to overcome this problem.
