thanks cuppy i'll check it out
sorry to post after i said i was gone; can't leave this talk about needing more taxes unchallenged-NONE of your taxes(nor ours in Canada) go toward ANYTHING that benefits the public(unless you believe more and more gov. and more bureaucracy serves the people better)-infrastructure has been crumbling north america-wide since WW2- gas taxes were supposed to pay for roads,bridges, etc. So where's the accountability for the money that has been collected up to this point? Where's the money gone? There are plenty of taxes in existence at present to more than fix all the bridge, roads, schools, etc. It has all gone to the military industrial complex and the banks. Whose owners are offshore and don't' give a damn for the state of any country's infrastructure. Carbon taxes would be just one more way to fleece the public; any proponents NEVER talk about who will get the carbon taxes; nor do they talk about how they will be imposed. It is a shell game by companies that don't pay taxes to begin with, allowing them to reduce the competitiveness of their competition while calling anyone against it an ecoterrorist. I like Mantra because if we ever do become sensible about the environment, and the supposed threat of CO2, mantra will still profit.
i agree global; i'm long here. I've always thought the idea of these boards is to exchange ideas, become more certain of the strength of our investment. some here don't want to read what i post, that's their prerogative. I'm as convinced as anyone about the potential for mantra; if no-one wants to discuss the forces we face getting this to market, I'll just stay away. good luck to you all.
Mantra Announces US Patent for Fuel Cell2014-07-08 09:00 ET - News Release
2014-07-08 09:00 ET - News Release
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/08/14
Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCQB:MVTG) and its subsidiary, Mantra Energy Alternatives, have announced the granting of the US patent for its Mixed-Reactant Fuel Cell (MRFC) technology. US Patent No. 8,709,680 B2, titled "Mixed Reactant Flow-By Fuel Cell", is the second issued for the MRFC, the first being the British patent GB 2474202 (2012). Mantra owns the exclusive worldwide license for this technology, which has been patented by its owner, Professor Emeritus Colin Oloman, a key member of the company's Scientific Advisory Board.
The MRFC is an unconventional fuel cell that promises to simplify and reduce the costs of fuel cell systems. Because it uses a mixture of fuel and oxidant, the expensive, failure-prone membrane can be eliminated and the balance of the system correspondingly simplified, offering the potential for a smaller, lighter, and cheaper fuel cell. The MRFC additionally uses liquid fuels, thereby avoiding the myriad difficulties associated with the storage and distribution of gaseous hydrogen.
The awarded patent covers several liquid fuels and various cell configurations such as the novel Swiss-roll architecture. The fuels covered include formic acid and its salts, products that can be derived through the conversion of the global warming agent carbon dioxide by Mantra's other process, ERC. The integration of these two technologies represents a unique opportunity in the field of energy storage, a rapidly growing market that is recognized as the key to renewable energy technologies.
"The granting of a US patent is a verification of the novelty and uniqueness of the MRFC," said Mantra's CEO Larry Kristof. "This news comes at the perfect time for Mantra, as we are currently accelerating our development work toward a demonstration of the technology."
Part of this acceleration includes the addition of Piotr Forysinski (Ph.D.) to the Mantra team as Product Development Engineer for the fuel cell. Dr. Forysinski, who obtained his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from UBC and his MChem from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, brings to Mantra an impressive breadth of engineering experience. This includes the construction and commissioning of a custom molecular beam epitaxy system and a 30 mK scanning tunneling microscope, and the design, construction and operation of a novel mass spectrometer with a tune-able XUV laser light source and custom-built ion optics. For the latter project, Dr. Forysinski, then a graduate student, lead the team in the technical design and construction of the apparatus.
"We are extremely excited about the addition of Dr. Forysinski to the Mantra team," said VP of Corporate Development Patrick Dodd. "He has a truly unique set of skills and has already shown his ability by contributing to the reactor design."

an awful lot of shares outstanding here-what do you fellas thing the upside is? What is the timeframe to make this upside? thanks
AMEN sharky-thieves it is. I ask the board members to call their congressmen, senators, every media person you can think of, all the internet media-expose these criminals, get the situation to the light of day, embarass these crooks in the towns in which they live. Sitting back and bitching as they steal the company is not going to help, and it let's corruption run rampant again. Is that the world you want you kids living in? Show some gonads, let's beat them at their own game!
AGREED! To show what the purveyors of change are up against- the U.S. Gov.(for instance) has several patents on the use of marijuana for health issues, and yet the Gov.(bowing to the unseen pressures of various industries(cancer, forest, medical, pharmaceutical)) has been the primary stumbling block to the use of hemp and pot, hammered home by the mainstream media. Taxpayer and citizen be damned. As far as producing a clean planet, these same people will get their filthy hands into and on to any pot that will produce a positive result. Mantra hopefully will be able to avoid this corrupt influence.
I GOT A 17-SECOND PAINT AD-IS THERE ANOTHER LINK OR CAN YOU NAME THE MOVIE? THANKS
any carbon tax will go to a few people of influence. But the public will be told it is going toward "research" into mitigation of the "damage" of CO2. Global warming is far from settled-this does not mean it's not heating, doesn't mean it's not cooling. There is an agenda to muzzle scientists in the world. Co2 has been much higher, sea level has been higher, methane release is a huge unknown, probably bigger than measurable CO2. What we haven't had in the past is a lap-dog press. Hard to say what is the truth about anything, and that's the way they like it. Paulson was a liar when he talked about blood in the streets, and yet he pulled it off. Why should we believe known liars?
a tax on carbon emissions will put a trillion dollars into the pockets of people like hank paulson
BYD corp. here makes batteries for cars:http://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/the_cleantech_future_2012/
so don't let them run out of money-throw some small amount of spare cash at the litigation financing
go to PACER (public access to court electronic records), sign up, search for Outdoor Venture Corporation or Kentucky Highlands Investment Corporation and their lawsuits. Print out the first couple pages of any documents you find and email or fax them to LEEP (each page costs .10). Help the company and yourself. It's a win-win for LEEP and your families and a LOSE-LOSE for the smug and crooked. Call Hal Rogers, ask him what he knows about the situation.
management is going full steam; against a corrupt system. Management hasn't slept for years. We would be in a much better position if SHAREHOLDERS got off their ass! Expose these criminals! Call other businesses that have been shanghai'd by KHIC and OVC. They are out there, we have to find them and bring it to the light of day. There is not a more corrupt sector of the economy than defence contracting. Have some fun; help put some deserving people in jail, and secure your future in the process!
i'm certain the announcement will be made the millisecond the verdict is known- please post any info. about OVC's "bad History". it may be helpful to the legal team
forgot to add-these crooks are trying to bankrupt leep and take it over because their gov. business went south when the gov. stopped ordering tents for the military. Hardcore criminals who'll do anything to feather their own nests thinking their positions will protect them. They feel they are above the law. Let's show them they're mistaken.
if you want leep to get through this set-back, consider sending them some money to buy materials for the new projects they have going. Or fund the litigation financing. It won't take much to get some breathing space. Leep has been paid for product delivered; the judge had the money put into an escrow account and has denied leep access to it. That is the problem. Put some heat on the judiciary, congressmen, senators, the press. Let's get this in the light of day and watch these cockroaches scurry for cover. Call the jackson county sheriff's office. 606-287-7121
skipper-there are career criminals involved on the other side of this suit-these people do not play fair, they do not care about you, they care only for themselves and feathering their own nests. They think they are better then the rest of us because they have various congressmen in their pockets. They want to bankrupt the company and take it over. Their previous business has dried up; they are desperate to get another product to sell to the government. Fat-cat, "untouchable" public "servants" are involved. Have Leep shareholders not had enough of the corruption that is endemic in your various levels of government? Time to put an end to it in our small way by ensuring these criminals at OVC (and all of their cronies) go to jail. Get involved; let's wipe their stupid grins off their faces. Man, that sun's hot on a chain-gang!
ALRIGHT I'M AWAKE-WHAT IS IT THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE AWAKE TO?
that may be true; anyone on this board should get their hands dirty, research the lawsuit and OVC, the congressman, and KHIC; realize these people are crooks who want to steal money from you in the present, and your future upside with Leep. They should do everything possible to expose the criminality. A chain gang is where these people should be, including the "elected' representatives. Your country (and mine too) is overflowing with corruption. Time to put an end to it. These people pumping the stock would not need to if leep was able to access the money it has in escrow due to this lawsuit. OVC wants to bankrupt Leep and take it over illegally. Are we going to let that happen?
SOUNDS GREAT! CAN YOU POST WHERE THIS CONFIRMATION CAME FROM?
FIRST WE HAVE TO GET PRESS ATTENTION AND COVERAGE OF THE LAWSUIT/COURT APPEARANCES. LEEP IS IN ON JUNE 23,24,25 GIVING DISCLOSURE/ OVC 26,27 AND MAYBE 30. SCUM CRIMINAL COCKROACHES SCURRY FROM THE LIGHT OF DAY-WE NEED TO BE CERTAIN THE LOCAL PRESS COVER THESE PROCEEDINGS. CALL THEM!
i don't care that the government was the source of the anthrax, if people are too stupid to wake up. Leep has sent 50 mail-screeners world-wide. We got noticed by consummate, true, white-collar, hard-core criminals as a result of these contracts, and now they want all the action for themselves. Call the independent press! Fight! Expose the crooks! Time to end the corruption. Put them in their "for-profit" prisons.
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/frameup.html
thanks sharky-pat attention to the last line-SURROUNDED BY THIEVES-LET'S FIGHT OUR WAY OUT (IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION!!!!)
no, not the company, the "defendants".
it will take a lot less time if everyone would call the local media and raise a fuss. These are defence-contracting criminals in bed with various and sundry politicians. Sleazy crooks without a conscience.
first we have to put them there skipper. it's highly likely the court system in kentucky is corrupt(90+ percentile) -you can do amazing things with a few well-placed judges in your pocket. The court of public opinion is where we have to cement our victory. These scum abhor the light of day. This is starting to look like "Walking Tall". give williams PR your email and i'll update you.
is everyone here aware of the lawsuit situation? what is actually going on with the people who are trying to take over the company?
good for you shurik, you're aware of the corruption-OVC was likely to lose most of their business with the Gov. Is anybody on here happy to let a corrupt congressman(not senator) and his cronies take money out of your pockets? out of your family's pockets. Are you going to roll over and play dead? Let's get the smile off this sob's face. http://www.jacksoncounty.ky.gov/elected.htm
