Peter Doran

Peter Doran is an independent researcher, inventor, and hands-on engineer based in Victoria, Australia. His background spans mechanical engineering, product design, and precision prototyping, with extensive experience in CAD modelling, electronics, sensor integration, and the construction of functional test systems.

He has designed and developed multiple patented and commercially evaluated products in the water- and energy-technology sectors. These projects required practical skills in fabrication, component alignment, instrumentation, measurement, and iterative testing—skills directly applicable to small-scale physics experiments.

Alongside his engineering work, Peter maintains an active writing and research practice. Much of his published writing explores big-picture scientific ideas and imaginative possibilities. However, his experimental work is grounded in careful measurement, practical design, and reproducible results. He emphasizes transparent methodology and empirically testable questions.

Peter is committed to building experimental apparatus himself, documenting all procedures carefully, and providing contributors with full insight into the data, methods, and results.
