1 billion lack safe water:
U.N.Aid agencies mark World Water Day
Say sanitation key to disaster relief
GENEVA - In a statement marking World Water Day, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies provided a dramatic demonstration of the need for clean water.
But the precious resource is also essential for longer-term chronic shortages in the developing world, the federation and other international organizations said.
The United Nations says more than 1.1 billion people around the world lack safe water and 2.4 billion have no access to sanitation, leading to more than 3 million deaths every year.
"People who can turn on a tap and have safe and clean water to drink, to cook with and to bathe in often take it for granted and yet more than one billion of our fellow human beings have little choice but to use potentially harmful sources of water," said WHO chief Dr. Lee Jong-Wook.
"After a major catastrophe, populations are particularly vulnerable to waterborne diseases, and the ability to produce large quantities of safe water and provide adequate sanitation quickly is crucial in ensuring that these communities are not subjected to a second disaster," said Markku Niskala, secretary-general of the federation.
This year's World Water Day marks the launching of the "Water for Life" decade, during which the U.N. and governments are seeking to halve the number of people without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015.

MM's pulled this BS before in the last couple of weeks. They dropped the bid to .025 & some inexperienced person sold some shares @ the bid only to see the bid/ask move to .045 X .05 a few days later.
I have posted the movements & trading of this stock for many weeks. Look back thru my posts & you will see that .04 is a nice buying opp. WE are hugely undervalued right now & when the expected contract for Nigeria is inked the valuation will increase 10 fold or more IMO.
GLTA!
MM fishing. Don't fall for the .028 bid. Buy @ .04 & hold. They drop the bid to .028 on a 4000 share sell @ .04 LOL.
Hold tight & be patient. You will be rewarded when the time arrives!
It's bee buying 10 to 1 vs selling for 6 weeks now. Float is probaby gone & being held.
Don't fall for the MM BS.
SERIOUSLY.
hi chinga , i saw some pictures last night about the earthquake in japan.
they showed a school where children were scared and the building was rocking with them in it.
7.0 Earthquake Strikes Japan
"In addition, we have seen a number of very serious inquiries from Japan and Third World countries." UltraGuard CFO, John Gaetz said
FUKUOKA, Japan (AP) - Southern Japan is getting more aftershocks, shaking houses and rattling nerves. Thousands of people have been forced out of their homes and into shelters. This comes a day after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck.
The worst damage occurred on Genkai island, near the epicenter, where the earthquake triggered landslides and leveled homes. At least one person has been killed and hundreds injured. Many people
were hurt by toppling cabinets, falling objects and shattered glass.
Japan's meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning right after the original quake hit, but lifted it about an hour later.
water is king when it is in short supply. will UGRD be the king with their company?
can anyone add some stuff to make UGRD a strong forum? this company is going to surprise many investors.

Introducing a Cleaner, Safer, Cheaper and More Versatile Fuel Cell
VANCOUVER, BC, March 29, 2002 ヨ MagPower Systems is introducing a
proprietary Magnesium-Air Power Cell (MAPC) as a primary, alternative
and emergency power generator. MAPC's greater safety and cost savings
are significant advantages over the better-known hydrogen fuel cell
(HFC).
Cleaner
Bruce Downing, President of MagPower Systems Inc, says: "The
Magnesium-Air Power Cell supports the global push for a sustainable
environment. MAPC is more easily recycled. It is clean, green and
consumes no fossil fuels. No toxic emissions are produced, thus
reducing harmful greenhouse effects. To recharge the cell, you
basically replace the magnesium core and the salt or sea-water
electrolyte. "
Safer
The simple magnesium anode and natural electrolyte make this cell less
combustible than a hydrogen fuel cell. It does not require a
safety-sealed fuel storage like HFC. The fuel can either be magnesium
or a magnesium-alloy, while the fuel for HFC must be pure hydrogen.
This makes MAPC easily transported by plane with no special safety
permits. It is safe around children since magnesium is non-toxic. All
of these features make MAPC better for consumer products.
Cheaper
MAPC has an indefinite shelf life because the electrolyte can be
removed before storage. When power is needed, the electrolyte is
poured back into the cell. No other electrolyte in a non-magnesium
fuel cell, power generator nor battery can be removed, stored and
reused by the consumer. This sustainability provides a reliable source
of power for emergency situations.
In addition to the inexpensive saline solution, the cell has fewer
parts so production is less costly and faster than with HFC. This also
makes the MAPC less expensive than HFC per 12-volt system. Downing
explains the technical findings of a 12-volt unit: "There is more
electric yield per cell, 80% v. 45% to 60%. The voltage is higher per
cell, 1.6 v. 0.8. Operating temperatures are lower, 55o C instead of
70o to 100o C. And it can operate at temperatures as low as ヨ10o C,
whereas HFC cannot operate well at low temperatures."
More Versatile
The cleaner, safer, cheaper qualities mean greater adaptability of the
technology. Four different MAPCs are being developed with strong
support from the federal and provincial governments, and industry
alliances. These include a portable unit (12 volt / 300 watt), an
industrial unit (125 volts) with BC Hydro, an automobile unit with
interest from Volvo Car Corporation, and a marine unit in
collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada. As a
member of Team Canada in the fuel cell sector, MagPower demonstrated
its expertise in Japan.
Active Ingredient
The secret to the superior qualities of MAPC over HFC is the company's
unique R&D approach to energy. Research in this magnesium-air
technology began in the sixties, but no one was able to produce a
viable product, as most of the energy loss was due to hydrogen
formation. MagPower has successfully controlled the formation of
hydrogen, which is the key to commercialization.
The company's R&D team at UBC and BC Research developed a breakthrough
hydrogen inhibitor (HIT) as the controlling agent. Independent testing
verified that instead of the usual rapidly decreasing power discharge
curve, adding a hydrogen inhibitor produces a flat line power
discharge. Downing says: "We're the only ones in the world so far who
have figured out how to control hydrogen. By adding a hydrogen
inhibitor to the electrolyte, energy outputs are now commercially
viable."
No Reverse Engineering
Most importantly, reverse engineering of the hydrogen inhibitor (HIT)
process is not possible. MagPower can develop unique and customized
HIT for various applications. This gives the company a significant
position in the marketplace. With this advantage, MagPower filed two
Intellectual Property patents in the USA for the specialized process
of controlling hydrogen for MAPC and zinc electrowinning. The company
also filed a patent with the World Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT),
covering 84 countries.
Besides hydrogen reduction, HIT can be transferred to other
electrochemical processes such as batteries and electrowinning (the
plating out of metals from electrolytic solution in refining and
waste-water treatment). For example, independent tests for zinc
electrowinning confirmed that MagPower's inhibitor increased the
current efficiency from 89% to 97%. The primary benefits include
substantial power consumption savings with secondary savings from
increased productivity, and reduction of health and safety hazards.
Licensing
MagPower licenses its MAPC technology for specific applications
(including manufacturing) and the use of HIT to mineral producers, but
retains production of the hydrogen inhibitors. The abundant market
utilizations for MAPC and HIT are significant and continuous revenues
for MagPower. The licensing structure provides long-term growth for
the company. McGroarty, a seasoned entrepreneur explains, "We're not
here today, gone tomorrow. We're here for the future of BC. In order
to develop more market niches with future applications, we're inviting
all interested investors to examine our unique business model."
The Company
MagPower Systems Inc., established 1999, is a private company whose
purpose is to license the versatile Magnesium-Air Power Cell and
patent-pending hydrogen inhibitor process. The President, Bruce W.
Downing (M.Sc., P.Geo., FGAC), has over 25 years of technical
experience and the CEO, Shawn A. McGroarty, has over 20 years of
senior management experience in the corporate sector in Canada and the
USA.
The Board of Directors is planning to list MagPower on a public
exchange in 2004.

Annex: Other accidents which already happened
UK Met. Office (information provided by Wynn Jones):
Some years ago UK Met. Office had a buoy invert because the foot had
been removed by fishermen or other unauthorised persons. When the buoy
was eventually retrieved after it had drifted ashore there was some
evidence that some of the batteries had come loose and had shorted
against the steel lid of the container pod they are housed in, causing
an explosion. However, the explosion was contained within the buoy
hull which remained water tight. There was no injury to anyone and the
buoy, and most of its electronics were reused. After that, UKMO
modified the brackets that hold the batteries in place such that they
will not move even if inverted. UKMO practise of housing them in their
own stainless steel container which is itself inside the steel hull of
the buoy probably minimises the consequences such an explosion can
cause.
NDBC (information provided by Eric Meindl, emeindl([at]ndbc.noaa.gov):
A short summary of findings and activities at NDBC with respect to
dealing with explosive gases in moored buoys is given below. NDBC
efforts began in 1988 when an aluminium buoy (6-m NOMAD type),
returned from the field and just opened up within NDBC industrial
facility, exploded. As a result, NDBC now uses meters to sample the
interior of all buoys. NDBC have experienced one or two other
explosions at sea with no injuries, and many incidents when
technicians have taken air samples, found the situation dangerous, and
implemented special procedures to vent the buoy. Information below
addresses specifically the NDBC buoys, which are vented systems, not
sealed as other systems might be. Nevertheless, there may be some
information others can use to make their procedures safer. NDBC also
has specific, detailed reports of their experiences and what they
know. These can be made available upon request.
Summary of NDBC Buoy Power System Flammable Gas
Problems and Solutions
1. Hydrogen gas generation in buoys:
Hydrogen gas mixtures in air are flammable between 4% and 75% by
volume
Accumulation rates increase with poor buoy ventilation (water
intrusion blocks the lower center compartment vent)
Electrolysis (the conductive path is from the positive terminal,
through seawater moisture on the exterior of batteries to the buoy
hull).
Reduction of battery electrolyte (potassium hydroxide and zinc),
aluminum and seawater. The primary batteries are located near the
bottom of the buoy center compartment.
Normal charging of secondary batteries and discharging of primary
batteries
Microbial induced corrosion
2. Hydrogen Gas Generation Past Incidents:
SSC/6N03 1988 Explosion resulted in one death & one injury (a)
44013/3D22 12 Sep. 97 Buoy returned to SSC with 100% LEL
46027/3D24 14 Oct. 97 Caustic residues in bottom of compartment (b)
46013/3D21 30 Oct. 97 Caustic residues; 100% LEL in 4 voids (b)
43D34/3D34 11 Nov. 97 Caustic residues; 100% LEL in void #2 (b)
46030/3DV07 21 Sep. 99 Buoy exploded prior to a service visit
46014/3D59 3 Oct. 99 Buoy Exploded during service visit (b)
42035/3D24 3 Nov. 99 100% LEL due to plugged vents (b)
42039/3D56 6 Nov. 00 100% LEL in a compartment; stuck vent valves
(a) The generation of hydrogen was caused by impurities in the primary
batteries received from the manufacturer.
(b) The generation of hydrogen was caused by seawater intrusion into
the battery compartment.
3. Hydrogen Gas Mitigation:
Obtained expert Marine Chemist Consultants
Improved tests of buoy hatch and cable penetrations
Installed a third battery compartment vent tube (if the buoy leaks,
the lower vent ) is blocked by water
Improved watertight integrity of hatch gaskets and multiplug
penetrations
Increased buoy freeboard
Improved equipment compartment ventilation
Installed a seal fence to reduce excessive loading on hatch covers
Provided sufficient clearance between the hatch cover lip and the
dog-bolt tabs
Improved hatch gasket deficiencies (insufficient gasket stiffness,
gaps in the hatch gasket joint, and the position of the gasket joint
relative to the bow of the buoy)
Filled voids with inert gas
Maintain safe entry procedures and training
Installed explosive gas sensors (FAA)
Deduced the use of primary batteries.The future goal is to discontinue
the use of primary batteries.
Bilge pumps (not yet implemented)

Data buoy operations safety
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following explosion in august 2001 of a moored data buoy during
maintenance onboard a ship in the Bay of Bengal which resulted in the
death of a crew member, the Indian National Institute for Ocean
Technology (NIOT) who operated the buoy consituted an expert committee
to examine the incident. The committe included distinguished
scientists in mechanical and electrical engineering, battery
development and manufacture, forensic science and pressure vessels.
This committee had concluded that the explosion was due to the
emission of hydrogen and oxygen from overcharged batteries, ignited by
an electrical spark. The recommendations of the expert committee were
then placed before the Data Buoy Cooperation Panel and the issue was
discussed further with the buoy operator represented by Dr. Premkumar
(prem([at]niot.ernet.in), Panel Members, and manufacturers at its 17th
session in Perth, 22-26 OCtober 2001.
Report from manufacturer also suggested that likely causes of the
explosion were:
The release of hydrogen gas from the batteries inside the instrument
cylinder, resulting from their overcharging;
A temperature rise of the batteries resulting from the buoy being kept
on deck for 1.5 hours, leading to the generation of hydrogen beyond an
acceptable limit;
A spark generated in the electrical circuit.
After discussion, the panel recommended that manufacturers should
enhance buoy safety through improved design in the following areas
Batteries are to be placed in a vented compartment, eliminating voids
as far as possible, with a double venting arrangement;
Incorporation of an overcharge controller and temperature controlled
switch, to disconnect the batteries from the solar panels when
required;
Incorporation of an explosive gas sensor and temperature sensor inside
the battery compartment and instrument cylinder, with the data to be
transmitted once a day, to allow corrective action, or suitable
explosive gas testing procedures, to be undertaken on buoy retrieval
or servicing;
Incorporation of continuous monitoring of battery charge current and
voltage, to be transmitted with the buoy data;
Incorporation of a suitable purging system and procedures.
The panel requested both manufacturers and buoy operators to keep it
informed of the improvements being carried out towards buoy safety, so
that it in turn can inform all other operators of these as a part of
its technical information exchange function, in the interests of the
whole community. Information on current manufacture and maintenance
recommendations will be placed in this web page.
Buoy operators and manufactuers are urged to take above information
into account.
this exclusive license agreement is so important to both companies which does make it possible for the fuel cell to expand through out the world enterprises.
there is more infomation than i thought possible for this magnesium fuel cell power.

UltraGuard Confirms Fuel Cell Progress with MagPower
Tuesday March 15, 12:30 pm ET
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 15, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- UltraGuard Water System Corp.'s (OTC BB:UGRD.OB - News) 100 percent owned subsidiary, Innovative Fuel Cell Technology Inc. (IFCT), is pleased to report the marketing progress of its magnesium powered fuel cell. The license granted from MagPower Systems Inc. (MagPower) provides the worldwide rights to manufacture and sell the magnesium-powered fuel cell for use with UltraGuard's ultraviolet disinfection filtration systems (UltraCell). The targeted market for the UltraCell will be third world countries where conventional power is unavailable, disaster areas and as a standby unit in developed countries for earthquake, tornado, flood and other disaster preparedness.
The Company's opportunity to commence marketing up to now had been slow but has been enhanced by numerous positive improvements in the development of the fuel cell. Based on information provided to the Company and recently reported in the business section of the Vancouver Sun newspaper, MagPower has made significant strides in its development efforts. A few of these developments are:
-- After three years from its original vision, the fuel cell has
been transformed from a 60-watt prototype into a 250-watt fuel
cell generator.
-- A significant advantage of the MagPower fuel cell over other
alternative fuel cells is its hydrogen inhibitors, a major
breakthrough perfected by their scientific team. reactions.
-- MagPower has developed the scientific means to control the
detrimental formation of hydrogen that occurs in electrochemical
reactions. When added to the salient solution and in combination
with the magnesium used for electric production, the production
of hydrogen is inhibited. Hydrogen, a naturally occurring
bi-product of the salt water and magnesium reaction, is both
dangerous and highly corrosive.
-- The signing by MagPower of a C$25 million license with Seawolf
Enviropower of Melbourne, Australia, a license with American
Infratec to build fuel cells for the US Marine Corp., and ongoing
discussions with the Chukoko electrical facility for use in its
telecommunication facilities, and British SiGen a marketer of its
own 100 watt fuel cell.

Reporting on the marketing of the UltraGuard UltraCell system. In February 2004, the Company granted a license to MagPower for marketing of the fuel cell in combination with UltraGuard's products. Shawn McGroarty, president and CEO of MagPower said, ``The license we have to market UltraGuard's purification systems with the fuel cell in various countries of the world has recently seen serious activity. One inquiry from Nigeria, which UltraGuard has now quoted, involves the possible sale of 1,000 UltraCell systems per month for a three year period. In addition, we have seen a number of very serious inquiries from Japan and Third World countries.''

UltraGuard Settles Lawsuit Filed by Shareholder Group
Tuesday February 22, 9:30 am ET
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 22, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- UltraGuard Water System Corp. (OTC BB:UGRD.OB - News) is pleased to announce they have concluded a settlement of four lawsuits filed in June 2003 against the Company and its Directors. The suits were filed by a group of shareholders whom had acquired their share positions when UltraGuard purchased the company Innovative Fuel Cell Technology Inc (IFCT). IFCT was the holder of an option to purchase from MagPower Systems Inc, the world rights to a Magnesium Fuel Cell used to power ultraviolet disinfection equipment. UltraGuard's legal counsel responded by filing countersuits against the plaintiff and by vigorously defending the filed actions.
ADVERTISEMENT
As a result of these actions, during the period from issuance of the writs to the time of settlement, UltraGuard expended a considerable amount of time and money directly responding to the actions. Many of the Company's opportunities were placed on hold due to the effects this action had on the Company's ability to raise funds and the depressed stock price.
Company President Ken Fielding said, when the settlement was signed on February 1st, 2005, ``We are certainly pleased we have been able to conclude this settlement. We can now concentrate on moving forward with our plans for marketing the fuel cell technology and the other core technology of the Company.'
Under the terms of the settlement both the Company and the Plaintiff signed a general release against future action of any kind as well as forgiving all debts owed by the Plaintiff and the shareholder group. The result of the monetary release reduces the debt carried in the Company's financial statement by about $86,000.
UltraGuard Water Systems Corp., headquartered in Greater Vancouver British Columbia, is a public company emerging as a provider of ultra-violet (UV) water purification systems for the multi-billion dollar global drinking marketplace including UV systems powered by UltraGuard's licensed magnesium fuel cell.

Introducing a Cleaner, Safer, Cheaper and More Versatile Fuel Cell
VANCOUVER, BC, March 29, 2002 – MagPower Systems is introducing a
proprietary Magnesium-Air Power Cell (MAPC) as a primary, alternative
and emergency power generator. MAPC's greater safety and cost savings
are significant advantages over the better-known hydrogen fuel cell
(HFC).
Cleaner
Bruce Downing, President of MagPower Systems Inc, says: "The
Magnesium-Air Power Cell supports the global push for a sustainable
environment. MAPC is more easily recycled. It is clean, green and
consumes no fossil fuels. No toxic emissions are produced, thus
reducing harmful greenhouse effects. To recharge the cell, you
basically replace the magnesium core and the salt or sea-water
electrolyte. "
Safer
The simple magnesium anode and natural electrolyte make this cell less
combustible than a hydrogen fuel cell. It does not require a
safety-sealed fuel storage like HFC. The fuel can either be magnesium
or a magnesium-alloy, while the fuel for HFC must be pure hydrogen.
This makes MAPC easily transported by plane with no special safety
permits. It is safe around children since magnesium is non-toxic. All
of these features make MAPC better for consumer products.
Cheaper
MAPC has an indefinite shelf life because the electrolyte can be
removed before storage. When power is needed, the electrolyte is
poured back into the cell. No other electrolyte in a non-magnesium
fuel cell, power generator nor battery can be removed, stored and
reused by the consumer. This sustainability provides a reliable source
of power for emergency situations.
In addition to the inexpensive saline solution, the cell has fewer
parts so production is less costly and faster than with HFC. This also
makes the MAPC less expensive than HFC per 12-volt system. Downing
explains the technical findings of a 12-volt unit: "There is more
electric yield per cell, 80% v. 45% to 60%. The voltage is higher per
cell, 1.6 v. 0.8. Operating temperatures are lower, 55o C instead of
70o to 100o C. And it can operate at temperatures as low as –10o C,
whereas HFC cannot operate well at low temperatures."
More Versatile
The cleaner, safer, cheaper qualities mean greater adaptability of the
technology. Four different MAPCs are being developed with strong
support from the federal and provincial governments, and industry
alliances. These include a portable unit (12 volt / 300 watt), an
industrial unit (125 volts) with BC Hydro, an automobile unit with
interest from Volvo Car Corporation, and a marine unit in
collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada. As a
member of Team Canada in the fuel cell sector, MagPower demonstrated
its expertise in Japan.
Active Ingredient
The secret to the superior qualities of MAPC over HFC is the company's
unique R&D approach to energy. Research in this magnesium-air
technology began in the sixties, but no one was able to produce a
viable product, as most of the energy loss was due to hydrogen
formation. MagPower has successfully controlled the formation of
hydrogen, which is the key to commercialization.
The company's R&D team at UBC and BC Research developed a breakthrough
hydrogen inhibitor (HIT) as the controlling agent. Independent testing
verified that instead of the usual rapidly decreasing power discharge
curve, adding a hydrogen inhibitor produces a flat line power
discharge. Downing says: "We're the only ones in the world so far who
have figured out how to control hydrogen. By adding a hydrogen
inhibitor to the electrolyte, energy outputs are now commercially
viable."
No Reverse Engineering
Most importantly, reverse engineering of the hydrogen inhibitor (HIT)
process is not possible. MagPower can develop unique and customized
HIT for various applications. This gives the company a significant
position in the marketplace. With this advantage, MagPower filed two
Intellectual Property patents in the USA for the specialized process
of controlling hydrogen for MAPC and zinc electrowinning. The company
also filed a patent with the World Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT),
covering 84 countries.
Besides hydrogen reduction, HIT can be transferred to other
electrochemical processes such as batteries and electrowinning (the
plating out of metals from electrolytic solution in refining and
waste-water treatment). For example, independent tests for zinc
electrowinning confirmed that MagPower's inhibitor increased the
current efficiency from 89% to 97%. The primary benefits include
substantial power consumption savings with secondary savings from
increased productivity, and reduction of health and safety hazards.
Licensing
MagPower licenses its MAPC technology for specific applications
(including manufacturing) and the use of HIT to mineral producers, but
retains production of the hydrogen inhibitors. The abundant market
utilizations for MAPC and HIT are significant and continuous revenues
for MagPower. The licensing structure provides long-term growth for
the company. McGroarty, a seasoned entrepreneur explains, "We're not
here today, gone tomorrow. We're here for the future of BC. In order
to develop more market niches with future applications, we're inviting
all interested investors to examine our unique business model."
The Company
MagPower Systems Inc., established 1999, is a private company whose
purpose is to license the versatile Magnesium-Air Power Cell and
patent-pending hydrogen inhibitor process. The President, Bruce W.
Downing (M.Sc., P.Geo., FGAC), has over 25 years of technical
experience and the CEO, Shawn A. McGroarty, has over 20 years of
senior management experience in the corporate sector in Canada and the
USA.
The Board of Directors is planning to list MagPower on a public
exchange in 2004.

The Polypropylene WP Series cartridge has a high dirt-loading capacity and great efficiency. CW/WP Series cartridges are suitable for a wide variety of sediment filtration applications including municipal and well water.
The Carbon EP Series filter provides effective taste, odor, and chlorine reduction and maximizes utilization of the carbon block.
Filters are an effective method for removal of unwanted impurities however unless very small micron filters are used, they will not remove cysts. If a small micron 0.1 to 1.0 is used for cyst removal, the life of these filters is very short. Parasitic cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium are present in virtually all-surface water sources. Infection by cysts can be fatal to children, the elderly and people who are immuno-suppressed. The most common cyst present in North America is Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
Certain strains of E. Coli bacteria and virus are dangerous and cannot be effectively removed by filtration. The UltraFlo system combines filtration and Ultraviolet light to purify drinking water and is very effective in deactivating most cyst, bacteria, virus and other microbiological contaminates. Sediment Filter in the UltraFlo system is used for the removal of turbidity and other solid matter while the purpose on the carbon filter is to improve taste by removing chlorine, and various other chemical, improving the appearance and removing foul odors

after reading your message the potential is really rewarding to the long term shareholder.

WOW , chinga and that is only the surface of this company.

per chinga
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
worth a repeat for UGRD potential.
Been doing some digging....
The Magnesium-Air Fuel Cell Alone retails @ $350 per unit. That put the possible Nigerian contract @ 12.6 Million on the fuel cell side alone.
http://www.magpowersystems.com/Executive_Summary.pdf
I will have to look into the Ultragaurd side of retail pricing...but as you can see when (if) this intial contract goes thru the stock PPS of UGRD should soar. Remember there are only about 26 mil shares O/S. The PR also mentioned Japan & other countries interest. If these UltraCell units really start flying out the door...man...who knows how high the PPS could go within the next few years....If we have good management here....$10...$20... or higher?
It is quite exciting to be in on this at such a low PPS!
GLTA!
SO THIS IS THE SIGNALS I WAS REFERRING TO. i like that for my references.

I have the sense that the Nigeria contract is a done deal...
because the PR was so specific. It could have read something like...we are in negotiations with several interested entities for use of our technology... or something along those lines, but what was in the PR is:
"One inquiry from Nigeria, which UltraGuard has now quoted, involves the possible sale of 1,000 UltraCell systems per month for a three year period. In addition, we have seen a number of very serious inquiries from Japan and Third World countries." UltraGuard CFO, John Gaetz said, "Should we be fortunate enough to receive an order of the size quoted for shipment into Nigeria, the proceeds of the sale would provide the Company three years of assured cash flow."
A contract announcement could come at any time now IMO.
GLTA!
volume for UGRD was very , very light today on down ticks.
14,900 @0.04 last.
hi chinga ,,, marching on is the name of the game. i like what you say about buying up the flt.
the flt. is the mani game in all companies.
i like to watch the float turnover for my buying pps.
UGRD
these are very important comments for us.
MM's need shares for sure, but because the stock is still under the radar for a lot of people the MM's are safe for now. It's astounding how the float has been bought up & how little selling @ bid has occurred for many weeks now. So far the shareholders have proven that they have the essential mindset that will result in a nice reward...PATIENCE.
Even a small amount of buying pressure at this point will move the PPS up nicely.
If we get a big push of buying pressure the MM's will be forced to blow the roof off this puppy.
Contract News out of Nigeria, Japan or elsewhere will be the spark that sets this off with no looking back.
More investors will stuble across this little diamond in the rough we have here as time marches on.
GLTA!
i see a trade at $0.04 ,,,403 shares? is that a market maker signal for shares?
the time was at 12:12:17 p.m.
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO ALL. make sure you have all the stuff for the corn beef and cabbage.
volume is light this morning and looks like it will settle down after a nice move.
UGRD
o.t.,,,chinga , when i read your message at this forum i wasn't sure about the shares mentioned there.
were these s-8 shares for PTSN? i think this will help us to understand when we click there for a reading about these o/s for PTSN.
