<div>I’m Tom Radford, retired geophysicist and founder of Echo Shear Labs Inc. After a 35+ year career in oil &amp; gas exploration with major discoveries worldwide, I’m now devoting my time to independent scientific research into fundamental gravity and shear forces.
</div>
<div>The Project
</div>
<div>We are building a passive torsion beam apparatus designed to directly measure gravity/shear interactions on lunar regolith. This experiment addresses anomalies observed in Apollo mission data and aims to provide new empirical insights that could benefit future lunar missions, bases, and resource utilisation.
</div>
<div>This is hands-on, data-driven research using precision machined aluminium and tungsten components, vacuum testing, and high-quality materials. Our goal is to challenge conventional models with direct measurements in simulated lunar conditions.

<div>Current Progress
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Initial investment already secured
</div>
<div>Prototyping underway with machined aluminium and tungsten parts
</div>
<div>Design refinements based on classic torsion balance principles adapted for the Moon
