Well said and I concur...again, based on my DD.
Hopefully the DD does not blow into smoke....
But, such are the risks in Pennyland. That being said, they have thrown around big names (IBM and Coors.) At least IBM has be independently verified as have the 2 awards they have received.
Picked up a few more cheapies...
Never expected anything else. This kind of PR pre-financials, etc., rarely creates any MOMO...
I know!!!! Trust me, I am as surprised as you that I am believing this is a real company!!
May have to do a name change....
If you think I am crazy to say that this could be a billion dollar company in my prior post, think about this.
According to statistics, there are more than 15.5 million trucks on the road.
At $15,000 per truck for their product they would only need to install in 67,000 trucks to have a billion dollar in overall sales. That is LESS than 1% of all trucks on the road today. And while they may not have a product for all truck types, anyone doubt that they won't develop a solution for every truck type??
And that does not include ALL of the other products, hospitals, manufacturing, hotels, etc that they have.
A billion dollar company is not unfathomable....just needs time. And good management. The product they have.
How and why this stock is not on people's radar is beyond me.
1) did a $2.6M project with IBM (@$1M was their portion) and the project won an award within IBM for energy conservation.
2) have pilots and some level of operations with several Fortune 500 / 1000 companies.
3) signed a multi-project deal with Coors. (First two projects $1.2M)
4) Opening two Sales and Service Centers (Montreal and Palm Springs, CA). Did anyone checkout where Palm Springs is? Prefect location as it is off of the primary east-west highway into and out of LA and neat Mexico border. how many trucks travel that highway???!!!!
5) business growth done without ANY dilution!!!
6) Are expanding services into hospitals, hotels, homes, etc. The possiblities are endless.
This company is the true mother lode. As long as they are serious, and I doubt IBM and COORS would give them millions of dollars or an award if they were not serious people with a real innovational product(s), we are talking a potential billion dollar in revenues company ina few years or an acquisition target for some big player.
I don't care if whales come here or not, because the real whales, the industry buyers will be coming in 6 months or less, if NVOB can deliver. The more I learn the more I am grateful of all the shares I got weeks ago, post split. This is the real deal.
IBM, with unlimited resources, decided to go with Enerstat. That has to scream as to the quality of NVOB's solution.

Saving With Thermal Storage
May 7, 2007
More than 15 years ago, the leadership at IBM Corp. challenged the management of the company’s facilities to reduce energy consumption by 4 percent each year. The staff at IBM Bromont, a semiconductor manufacturing facility in Bromont, Québec, has consistently met that objective, saving close to 500,000 MWh in energy during the last 15 years.
As the facility continues to improve its energy efficiency, however, the ability to record additional energy savings is becoming increasingly more difficult and leading the Bromont facility to consider new technologies to achieve its goal.
One of the technologies the company adopted combines a Novanergy® thermal-energy-storage (TES) system and a YORK® variable-speed chiller from Johnson Controls.
According to those monitoring the $2.6 million project, the upgrades are yielding energy and power savings that translate to $350,000 annually. And the ‘green’ factor entered into the equation. The project offers environmental benefits as it reduces the plant’s refrigerant requirements by 50 percent and its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 35 percent.
REPLACING AGING CHILLERS
IBM Bromont is an 800,000- square-foot facility located near Montreal that assembles semiconductors from around the world on substrates to ultimately create microprocessors. These microprocessors are used in Game Cube, X Box and Playstation game consoles, as well as IBM servers.
In 2005, it was decided to replace two 25-year-old chillers that used R-12, a no longer produced CFC refrigerant. The chillers were part of a power plant that also included six 1,000-ton chillers and a 1,000-ton free-cooling heat exchanger that typically ran from Dec. 15 to March 15.
Together, the chillers and heat exchanger provided chilled water year-round to meet process-cooling demands. As plant personnel looked to replace 2,000 tons of cooling capacity, their desire to improve the overall efficiency of chilled-water production caused them to look at alternatives to the existing system.
Daniel Paré, advisory engineer at IBM Bromont, recalled an article he read about TES systems and the phase-change materials (PCMs) manufactured by another Canadian firm, Groupe Enerstat Inc. “I decided to call Enerstat, and I invited the company’s president, Dr. Stéphane Bilodeau, to visit our facility and determine whether their system might fit into our plant. It soon became apparent that the approach to chilled-water production offered the potential for significant energy savings, and we agreed to use the TES system.”
STORAGE SHIFTS
The system uses a chiller to charge its storage tanks at night, taking advantage of off-peak electricity rates. A thermal fluid circulates through the storage tanks and stores or draws Btus by changing the state of the PCM from liquid to solid and vice versa at prescribed temperature set points.
As the stored cold energy discharges, it provides cooling during daytime peak hours when electricity rates are typically higher. Benefits to the building owner include reduced energy usage and costs. The benefit to the power utility is shifting consumption from day to night, when there is less demand for electricity.
In addition, PCMs are able to store large quantities of energy in a smaller space than a traditional chilled-water-storage system, according to those familiar with the technology.
The project consisted of a 1,500-ton variable-speed chiller, two 1,600-ton-hour TES tanks, a 2,500-ton plate heat exchanger, a glycol loop and two pumps. Two separate PCMs offered melting points of 28°F for one tank and 40° for the second tank.
“The PCMs are excellent energy accumulators (better than ice) for faster energy transfer,” explained Pare. “And, unlike ice, PCMs do not expand during the phase change from liquid to solid, eliminating stress on the tank. In addition, because the tanks are sealed during manufacturing, there is also less risk of contamination.”
PARTIAL STORAGE
To maximize the energy plant’s efficiency, Enerstat used a partial-storage approach in which the chiller operates to handle part of the cooling load in peak periods, and the TES tanks handle the rest of the demand. This enabled IBM to reduce the size of the chiller.
Because company officials wanted to periodically operate the system at temperatures below 32°, they opted to use ethylene glycol as the thermal fluid. They then searched for a chiller that would be able to operate efficiently in a secondary thermal storage loop, with variable tower-water and chilled-liquid temperatures.
TEMPERATURE FLEXIBILITY
In selecting a chiller for the system, IBM officials relied on the experience of André Paré, manager, commercial and industrial products with The Master Group, Boucherville, Québec. “What amazed me as I considered the appropriate chiller for this application was the range of operation of the centrifugal chiller with variable-speed drive. It allowed efficient operation at a wide range of off-design conditions,” he said.
In the TES system, tank MCP1 is situated before the chiller (in the secondary loop), and tank MCP2 is located after the chiller. Set at 40°, one storage tank operates continuously. It can be charged and discharged several times in a 24-hour period. The other tank is set at 28° and is used to support fluctuations with large amplitude. It is charged and discharged one or two times a day. According to Paré, “This project requires a lot of flexibility on the part of the chiller as it works with a variety of low-side and high-side temperatures. The excellent efficiency of the chiller at off-design conditions is a tribute to the variable-speed drive.”
Bilodeau added, “Typically, a drive like this would see only variations in the tower-water temperature and the building load. In this case, the drive also sees variations in the chilled-liquid temperature at the same time.”
TES SYSTEM
The project at the plant demonstrates the ability of a TES system to reduce not only energy consumption (kWh), but also the peak-power requirement (kW). By running a smaller chiller during the daytime, electricity demand is scaled back.
In a partial-storage TES system, the chiller typically runs at full capacity for 24 hours per day. When the building load is less than the chiller output, the surplus thermal energy is stored in the TES tanks. When the load exceeds the chiller output, the tanks satisfy the additional cooling requirement. On site, the reduction in kW demand is more than 1 MW.
To reduce energy consumption, the chiller operates efficiently at off-design conditions, with consumption ranging from 0.4 to 0.6 kW/ton compared to the performance of the former chillers of 0.6 kW/ton to 0.9 kW/ton. Additionally, operating the chiller at night with reduced tower-water temperature represents an improvement in chiller performance by as much as 15 percent.
The TES system also increases the capacity of the existing free-cooling heat exchanger (FCHE) from 750 tons to a maximum of 1,250 tons. When daytime ambient temperatures are too warm to use the FCHE, evening temperatures are often still low enough to charge the TES tanks. IBM can thus extend the free-cooling period from three months to nine months a year, adding more than 3,000 free-cooling hours per year and allowing IBM to recuperate more than 800 tons of free cooling and cut its power consumption by 900 kW. Annual energy savings amounted to 5,300 MWh.
According to Bilodeau, “The installation of a TES system that integrates synthetic phase-change materials with free cooling and a variable-speed-drive chiller was the first of its kind in North America. The project size was also a first. The storage tanks store more than 50 million Btu per charge.”
Enerstat also designed a control strategy for the project that involves the real-time computation of the thermodynamic balance and a predictive model of the coming peak loads.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
By replacing the two 1,000-ton CFC-12 chillers with one 1,500-ton chiller that uses HFC-134a, IBM reduced refrigerant requirements by 50 percent. The company also experienced a 35 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for chilled-water production because of the energy-efficiency improvement.
The $2.6 million price tag for the project included $1 million already budgeted to replace the two chillers and $1.6 million for the TES system. With energy savings of 5,312 MWh, which at a low cost of $0.0274/kWh adds up to $145,500, and annual demand savings of $205,500, the folks at Bromont are looking at total annual savings of $350,000 and a payback period of seven years. This estimate does not include savings associated with upkeep, pumping costs and maintaining water temperature according to specifications during electrical fluctuations.
Takeaways from new PR
1) nice to see Stephane be quoted, reconfirming his involvement and commitment to the company.
2) California is a greatly place to setup operations!
- the state is VERY energy aware, pollution reduction focused, etc. and there is a lot of trucking up, down and in and out of the state as the most populated state in the country.
3) the PR states that we can anticipate expansion of operations in Canada in 2015
4) They have now opened two centers of operation without use of dilution. We know that they, at best, could have $300,000 from 2013 revenue, after expenses. That is not enough to setup one, forget two operation centers. Where is the money coming from? This only reconfirms to me, IMO, that they have a deep pocketed partner/benefactor.
5) They are serious about rapid expansion. If they get Coors fully utilizing them, the Quebec and Cailfornia site operational, we are easily talking $10M+ in revenues and probably $2M+ in net profit as their cost per transaction will go down as volume increases.
I am not sure that this stock is a flipper stock, more likely a long term hold, which was not necessarily my initial plan, but this has multiple dollars and Big Boards written all over it.
Wish they had confirmed that they had paid off Mark N. but I think that will only be communicated as part of year-end report or q1 report.
Nice to get some validation of our investment.
Darn it...I had a buy order at .06
LOL..oh well
Darn it...I had a buy order at .06
LOL..oh well
waiting period...hibernation, incubation.
Trying to create fear to get people to sell.
Whatever...if/when there is volume at this level I will pay attention. Then I will buy. :)
Hard to believe that there isn't trickery involved when so many other brokers have received and released the shares to the shareholders.
Not much anyone can do about it, including NVOB. I can't see how NVOB has anything to do with the fact that ETURD "doesn't have the shares". (I use quotes because it is all so fishy)
Back to NVOB, this company is going to take off....just wish I knew the countdown...lol
Well, that shows two things:
1) There is short selling going on
2) Short selling is a super-small part of all trades made.
What I like about this POS is that there are so many real possibilities that could bring a positive result to all of us.
I really don't care which one happens, I have my preferences, but any of the options that brings a strong pps works for me.
Let's say that for the past 2.5 weeks we have averaged 85,000 shares traded. That would be over 1,000,000 shares.
Now we KNOW that while there are 102,897,563 shares in the float, 100,000,000 shares are in escrow while the company pays Mark N.
That would mean that 1/2 of the ACTIVE float has been traded in the past 2 weeks, and we had seen an increase in pps of 3X+.
News, good news, money news....I am so giddy...
Once news hits, dilution talk will only increase as more people on the sidelines realize that they missed the boat and will do and say what they can to curb the growth of the pps to jump on.
These guys are not diluting....not yet. A few weeks ago, I thought that they would have to dilute to have cash on hand, but after seeing that they were able to get Coors and a facility, I know that they have cash someplace...still don't know where it is coming from, although I have my suspicions....but no dilution.
They want a strong pps....
Play this forward....
1) Cancel Mark's shares
2) PPS skyrockets on small float
3) Announce new clients, revenue sources, uplisting
4) PPS skyrockets again on small float
5) Cancel 5B shares
6) Big company buy-out for A LOT of money
this is so ridiculously typical of what happens to penny stocks.
At this point it is all up to the company. Real or fake, what they do will determine the stock price.
One or two weeks of silence and super-cheapies will be back....
I, for one, will happily load up more...but there is no mystery to this...
Please, this is not dilution. 123,000 shares mostly at $.14, comes to $17,000+. Granted q3 showed low cash position, but this is not going to help that and really not enough to do anything. Hell, they could only buy one of their cooling units for 1 truck with this money.
Not dilution. This is MMs and some shareholders trying to get some volatility to make money.
Company is currently silent after posting two solid PRs in January....but they will roar back....this is not dilution!
nice volume!!
Is the bid really .061?
Here is the deal...
If there is no news in the next week, the price will go down. A lot of buyers the last few days were flippers, IMO, and will take their profits/losses and run if the volume is not going up...
If there is the right kind of news, we all know that this thing is wound tight and will fly and bring a lot of new people with it...
I really think that they are doing the right thing here by waiting to announce until:
1) ALL shareholders have their shares.
2) Mark N.'s shares are resolved so they can announce/adjust the true share structure.
Then we will hear, IMO:
1) More about the revenue projections of the facility, which I think will coincide with an agreement with at least one trucking company to install and service their trucks.
2) Update on Coors deal, potentially new deals and revenue projections.
3) Additional clients.
4) New website.
5) Uplisting plans. They have got to get to OTCBB to be taken seriously.
Fair enough. But I should point out that I think my revenue numbers are conservative and the multiplier is low...
But no matter...
Let's take the $8,300,000 revenue number and multiply it by 30%and we come up with $2,490,000 estimated net profit.
Take the $2,490,000 and divide it by 3,000,000 shares and you get $.83 EPS. Multiply that by 10 for multiplier and you get $8.30!
Either way you look at it, that number is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than the current pps.
Think of it this way.....
$1,200,000: Molson-Coors (known revenue)
$210,000: Per photo posted on Facebook on January 7 there were 14 units ready for installation (14 units * $15,000 per unit)
$3,900,000: Sales and Service Center (estimated 26 units sold - 1 per work day for 10 months, assuming Center is operational after February)
$3,000,000: Additional sales throughout year (Molson-Coors, other clients)
That totals to $8,310,000 annual revenue.
With 2,998,875 shares that comes to $2.77 EPS. With a basic multiplier of 10, we have a stock value of $27.71.
Hmm...looks stalled....
I think everyone should sell and drive the pps down to about .01.
That will teach management to not support the shareholders.....
Don't worry, I will make sure that your shares find a home with me....lol!!!!
Well they added another photo to Facebook site...
Well they added another photo to Facebook site...
So I have no idea who that person is, etc.
But....since i have no doubt that this stock is at least a $5 stock, I can't imagine why any whale would not want in....
Guess we will know if he is interested when we see volume pickup....???
Let it churn!!!
Nothing wrong with a little volume at at this level....create a nice base for the next level...
Another green start to the trading day.
Still very few people watching this stock and we still are moving up!!
So many people are going to be kicking themselves for missing this rocket.
$1.2M KNOWN revenue for Molson-Coors with additional revenues to follow with ADDITIONAL projects which both parties have already agreed to.
New facility (by my estimates) will be setup to install 50-100 new units monthly (that is only 1 to 3 units installed per day, assuming the center is be open every day). At an average unit price of $15,000, that would be $750,000 to $1,500,000 MONTHLY.
Just saying that it is not far-fetched to see this company generate OVER $10,000,000 this year. That would be approximately a 1000% increase in year-to-year revenue!
In the immortal words of Bachman Turner Overdrive:
you ain't seen nuthin yet
B-b-b-baby, you ain't seen nuthin yet
We are up more than 380% from last week!
At .23, granted I expect a little gap down on Monday, but wow....this stock has life.
Hope it can maintain momentum and garner more interest.
Just hope that there is news about additional revenues....we already have $1.2M in the bank...if they can announce something to get the annual projections to $2-3M+, we will be dealing!
That is dollarland and institutional buyers will then start paying attention.
Wow..now that is optimism....like it, not sure if it comes that quickly, but I like it!!!!!
It is coming....remember, REAL COMPANY here.
They are not going to just PR stuff, but since they have done 2 PRs this month, I think it is reasonable to assume that another PR is coming within the next 2 weeks.
Either way, the worst thing that will happen is a little sideways action which will only protect us from any massive retreat.
Looks like it has settled for the week at .14.
Wow! Nice way to end the week. Any backslide should be minimal as demand, and lack of supply, will stop shares from sliding significantly.
Anyone realize that NVOB hasn't even come close to getting any visibility? Once people start looking and see that the stock has gone up more than 100% this week alone and the upside is so high, demand is going to kick supply's and MMs a**es.
Just sitting back and waiting for the launch....the countdown may be slow, but the launch is coming!
Volume will be low for probably another .20-.30 just because most shareholders either still don't have their shares or will still be underwater.
The real driver of volume, IMO, is going to be how quickly the "original" shareholders want to take profits.
As long as they wait a little bit, we will be able to make a $1 quickly. we will need a selloff at that levels to create a new base to move up to multiple dollars.
Just watch the trends, there will be plenty of chances to sell high and buy back in on the dips.....
After the big meetings years ago, which they met Rick, the whole thing died, is what I gather.
I tried reaching out to the guy who wrote the articles, but never got a response.
For whatever reason, the council also lost interest in pursuing BCND....none of it makes sense...
How does this get to $$$ with the float so high?
I am new to this board, so am curious....is there a risk of an RS, retiring shares, growing the float?
The volume is awesome!!!
