Please take a look at the below accomplishments over the history of
Canty
J M Canty PE
1969 – John M. Canty, the company founder, worked on a decompression chamber rated to
one mile of ocean depth (2000 psi). The decompression chamber still holds the world record for pressure rating to
this day. It is used to simulate conditions for divers for offshore and military purposes.

1971 – Canty developed and patented fiber optic lighting for decompression chambers and altitude chambers.
The lighting is used on altitude chambers for space (full vacuum) and rated for pressure differentials up to 6000 psi.
1972 – Development of the rolling door closure for hyperbaric chambers, in conjunction with Richard Morin, for use on Project Themis which was later commercialized for diving systems.
1973 – Consulting work on altitude chambers and centrifuge chambers for Project Themis.
Further Accomplishments:
1)
Early work in 1969 on the dewars for Superconducting Magnets for the Bullet
trains. This magnetically levitates trains allowing then
to travel at the Bullet train speeds with no friction
(A green project).
The project engineer (during the Vietnam war-make love not war was the
protest theme) had a sign on his desk "MAG
LEV not War".
The Bullet Train
2)
Superconducting magnet work for Ferranti-Packard. This worked involved using
superconducting magnets as airplane jet engines.
3)
Project Themis
(US NAVY-University of Buffalo ) and DCIEM
(Canadian Armed Forces
- Downsview,
Ontario)
J M Canty Inc
1) Submarine Escape Training Hatch 1981. Bid
awarded from the US Navy over Electric Boat .
Canty designed, fabricated and delivered the
system
on Christmas Eve for air lift by the United States
Air force to
The United States Naval Base in
San Diego.
2) Fusion Reactor Support Structure for Oakridge Tennessee
1980
3) F16 and F24 (joint attack )Fighter jet project. In line camera monitoring
of Bubble in fuel lines under high G to ensure cavitations free flow.

4) NASA Hydrogen Slush Light/Camera Combination to
view liquid hydrogen transformation to a solid slush for space shuttle project
5) NASA replacement of all
sight glasses in Shuttle launch pad fuel lines . The constant leakage failure
prior to Fuseview™
sight glass
was the number one
source of delays.
GO GREEN PROJECTS/Energy Saving projects
1)
Fuseview™
replacement on Vacuum pans in sugar Mills and Evaporators in Dairy ,food
,pulp and Chemical Plants allow for a lower vacuum and lower boiling point.
Canty Sanitary Fuseview™
2)
Oil in Water monitoring for the oil industry to make
sure their discharges are within drinking water limits
and giving them the particle size knowledge to maintain and improve the process
to achieve this goal.
In-Flow - Oil in Water Monitor
3)
High temperature cameras to optimize processing of glass…reduce waste
(energy dramatically ) by reducing the scrap from 10% to 2% on float glass
(window glass) 7% overall energy savings for the plant.
Molten level control of glass to .001 accuracy assuring the minimum
specification is met. This created a reduction
in overage
of the thickness of glass reducing energy and material
usage by 2-3 % for the entire plant.
Canty High Temperature Cameras
4)
High temperature Cameras for flame monitoring to detect smoking or off
burring flames in furnaces, kilns and incinerators.
