Angel Oregon semifinalist hopes judges embrace his effort to create a new building material

Duncan Meyers has always liked to build, fix and invent things.

When he was 10 years old, he asked his father, who worked at Portland General Electric, if he could make a Tesla coil — a type of circuit that sends electricity to objects within close range. The coil Meyers made produced enough electricity to power a light bulb from a few feet away.

Now, at 32, Meyers is a semifinalist for the Oregon Entrepreneur Network’s annual Angel Oregon competition http://www.oen.org/events_ao.aspx , which takes some of the state’s best budding entrepreneurs and pits them against one another for about $300,000 in investment money to start a business.
