Excerps from THE AIRIZONA STAR, July 26, 2011:
Tucson's Solon Corp. seeks better ways to store energy
These guys are working with UA on the AZRIZE project.
"Because air becomes super-cold as it is expanded, it can quickly freeze up equipment at the point of expansion, Simmons said.
To avoid a freeze-up, CAES systems including the Alabama plant burn natural gas to heat the expanding air, which adds costs.
The team is working with an off-the-shelf industrial compressor and a new, high-efficiency rotary engine system made by W2 Energy, based in Ontario, Canada. Such air engines work by using compressed air to turn a driveshaft connected to a generator.
The researchers are designing a separate system to store the waste heat from the compressor for later use in heating the expanding air, using a metal drum filled with thermal oil and rocks, Simmons said.
Our preliminary calculations show this will easily do a 50 percent reduction in fuel (usage), and we could reach a 75 percent reduction," he said."
These guys are still scratching their heads and are a long way off from any kid of production decision IMO. This freezing issue is going to be a major hurdle IMO.

Yes, we've seen that, but I thought they were supposed to have some data to report by now?
Based on what?
Yes, my feelings exactly! And, some W2 proponents on this board are likey from W2, IMO.
Yep! Baseless is right!
No date and what's the source of the article? Most likely biased WTWO.
Riiight! These guys are masters at deception.
Yeah and those day traders are from W2!
Well, I'll have to say, it is intertaining...
The only way any of this makes sense to me is that some posters on here are from WTWO
That's WTWO scrapeing up the rent money.
Well, if CAES was a success at AzRISE, it seems they (WTWO)sure are missing an opportunity to capitalize on the good news. Based on previous PRs, where WTWO made mountains of success out of nothing, you would think they could have been a little more creative/excited in the last PR?
"Mike McLaren, the President and CEO of W2 Energy, recently returned from Tucson, Arizona, where he spent 3 days commissioning the first iteration of the AzRISE CAES system. Since his return to Guelph, Ontario, he has been working with W2 Staff to build the next generation AirRocket to mate with the AzRISE system. Once tested at AzRISE the entire CAES system will be installed and tested at the Tucson Electric Power site featuring Solon solar technology"
So what happened at AzRISE? It didn't work, so back to the drawing board? Is this project on hold until we fit in a new "AirRocket?"
Looks like the rent is due!
Pump and dumper!
Just look at the FACTS. Fact; WTWO hasn't followed through with any of their BS PRs in the past 15+ years. Fact; WTWO hasn't produced hardly any revenue during this same time frame. I could go on and on. Bashing my investment? Darn right! Because my investment has, for the most part, vanished. Sore loser? No, I can handle losing under fair play. But losing under so much apparent deception kinda p***es me off! Good luck to all...

Yeah, if you can believe anything that WTWO says!
That's one explanation for the dilution and resistance. I'm no expert, but I'm thinking this may not be all bad, if this is the only way for WTWO to stay in business before the expected "big bang." Hopefully, this will come to fruition for many to enjoy the fireworks. But, history has forced some of us longs to be skepical. Since I have little to lose with my meager entry at .04 and much to gain if this thing takes off, I'm here for the duration.

The guy(s) who got the free shares! Wake up!
So that's one possible scenerio on how WTWO could take money from the stock holders. Issue 10M shares for free to an affiliate, then sell the shares and they have effectively put stock holders' money in their pocket. Sounds very simple and easy to me? And, it makes sense why this thing has never flown in 23 years. We're all suckers! Bernie should be proud!
Yeah and guess who? Mikee? Or someone connected? IMO

And history repeats itself AGAIN!
Not according the pinksheets.com
If the history pattern is any indicator, this stock will come crashing down as the WTWO insiders (etc) take the money off the table. Hey, those guys have to pay their bills somehow. I hope I'm wrong.
Larry
Probably because his honest and informative post would have discouraged new buyers and interfere with the deleters' agenda? Just a guess. I sure didn't see where he violated any rules for posting here. What a crock!
I too would like to know the official answer to that! Moderator?
He's probably trying to help others see the light. And, after all, it is a free country. So far anyway...
Smart move zanaz!
Looks like the "pump" (fruitless PRs) didn't work this time. We won't see the "dump" until/unless this thing goes up (IMO). At least that's what history shows.
Thanks LurkerBob.
Could be, but there's a whole lot more to "bash" about than to "pump" about.
Swim, I think you better look "inside." They have been here since day one and are playing this thing like a fiddle. Someone inside is making some money on this stock and I think that's as far as it's going to go. I.E. them putting our money in their pocket. Of course all of this is IMO only.
Larry
Oh, we have or share of pumpers on this board!
And, lets not forget the stock pumpers. The inverse of "bashers" and still illegal.
This thing has been on the cusp of "ALMOST" for 23+ years!
My feelings exactly! Thanks ajja, couldn't have said it better than that!
Forget hydrogen: Here they are, the two fuels of the future

Yes, but WTWO has been publishing "press realeases" for 23 years!
And, all of that for less than a penny! My, my, how lucky we are!
If it sounds to good... well you know the rest.
