Lol you should call him yourself :D. Not to mention that the Dezer connection is one of many things in the pipeline. They seemed to have some sort of franchise agreement worked out though. Ready to burn some shorties? I am this PM ;)
I completely agree. Can be very dangerous to go long on most OTC stocks, but this one is dangerous not to. This has the potential to be one of the 1% that makes it to the big boards! It has even been stated by the company that it is a short term goal :D
Oh nice, haven't heard anything about the China connection in a while. Sounds like more work with BYD IMO. Your DD is appreciated.
Just a couple ask slaps from a new HOD, who wants to play? :D
I am honored to be here, and as always, appreciate the heads up :)
Silly MM's, digging their own grave. I cant decide how much I want them to buy my shares back for :D
Looking for one more assistant mod, PM if interested.
Pure gold over here buddy :D.
I think yesterdays action might have caught them a little off guard. If we keep the pressure up, they will break :D
Bounce time :D
I would rather them trap and gap then gap and trap :D
Me too
I cant help but laugh at all the shameless pumping and people trying to get recognized for their efforts.
Very strong indicators before a nice breakout :D
I think the MM's understand it is no longer a good idea to give away shares at the bid :D
You have been spot on almost every time.
Gotta have tickets if you want to play next week
Cause no one is. Hasn't been an insider sale in over a year. How many OTC companies can say that.
First of all this was over a year ago. There is a good place for you to start, by looking at dates.
Really good action so far today. .0185x.019. Someone has been accumulating a ton of shares through NITE.
lol obviously not
Someone is loving those .0155's!
First of all they were out of town last week. Second of all they have not been dumping any shares. Third of all the claim, "The officers each sold shares and made over $200000 each" is purely false.
I would marry this stock if I could. They bring it down just to bring it roaring back up.
I think I agree with you ;)
Can anybody say breakkkoutttt
Looking great here today! Those .008zzz were a nice gift :D
Look at the A/D line, its amazing! I think it might all be downhill from here...IMO
Haha I almost spit out my coffee with your post
Big news over here today $$$
The industry for electric vehicles is going to be very profitable for years to come IMO
Look like a couple of people are trying to soak up shares at the bid :D
Just stumbled upon this video of the EcoloCap(ECOS) subsidiary K-MBT factory in Korea from December 2010.
Hey Clay, can I get an annotated chart for ECOS?
You still hanging around here? This steak looks like its almost finished marinating :D
P.S.-Saw your TE*A update yesterday, what a killer!
Something funny about Ecolocap Solutions Inc.'s $4,805,821 market cap
When ECOS just sold a unit for $3,360,000.00
With the possibility of
"$27M in equipment sales over the next year and an annual income of close to $54M in additive sales"
If all goes well
That puts the stock easily around .50
We will know more by middle of June
Very likely we are at $1 by end of the year
Looks like a good place to add if you ask me
At least that is what I am doing
Note:
It also seems VERY likely Empresas Energy Partners Chile Generadora de Energia LTDA (EPC) will be following through with this GIANT order, as they have already done short term testing that exceeded industry standards.
Doesn't get much easier than this $$$
Go ECOS!
I know this is old, but it is an interesting read if you are not knowledgeable about ECOS' product, M-Fuel.
A Detailed Look at EcoloCap's (ECOS) M-Fuel Technology
By Justin Kuepper
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
EcoloCap Solutions Inc. (ECOS), with its subsidiary Micro Bubble Technologies Inc. (MBT), is developing a new fuel technology that could disrupt the market for rivals like Fuel Tech Inc.(FTEK) and PMFG Inc.(PFMG) among others.
MBT has applied its nanotechnology expertise to convert existing dirty fuels, such as diesel and kerosene, into a new fuel that reduces emission by 60% and fuel consumption by 40% while reducing total cost by up to 25%. By fusing water and oil in a proprietary Nano Processing Unit, the company is able to create what it calls M-Fuel.
The Incredible Technology
M-Fuel is created by feeding water and oil into a proprietary Nano Processing Unit that electrolyzes and separates the water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules, while the oil is broken up into sub-micron bubbles that absorb these molecules. A proprietary additive is then added that coats the sub-micron bubbles giving them a negative charge, so that they will quickly disperse in the combustion chamber.
When the M-Fuel is burned, the hydrogen and oxygen elements are released and the resulting burn of the two elements results in the recovery of lost energy by employing water. In fact, there is so little water left-over that the M-Fuel is not even considered an emulsion – it’s an entirely new fuel that is created during the process
Extensive Lab and Real-Life Testing
M-Fuel has been put to the test in marine environments and labs for over two years, which have demonstrated its unique characteristics. Specifically, testing by Taiin Lighting Co., Ltd in Okayama, Japan showed a sharp reduction in oil consumption, greatly reduced emissions, and higher output efficiency when compared to standard diesel, kerosene or bunker fuels.
Tests have also been conducted in Japan on a ferry boat that ran more than 8,000 continuous hours. After this time, engineers opened the engine compartment and found no significant build-ups of dust and ash. Meanwhile, similar tests conducted by the company’s staff have shown that the M-Fuel can be used in a standard diesel engine and actually helped to de-carbonize the cylinders of the engine and emit cleaner emissions.
The Great Potential
There are limitless applications for M-Fuel technology given its unique characteristics, ranging from trucking industries to the maritime industry. After all, it’s hard to overstate demand for a technology that not only reduces emissions, but also uses less oil, increases output, and provides a significant cost savings compared to traditional fuels.
In the maritime industry, falling commodity prices and an increase in the supply of vessels has led to a sharp drop in profits for many shipping operators. Day leases dropped from close to $114,000 per day a year ago to under $20,000 per day at its low this year. Meanwhile, fuel prices are beginning to rise again and eat into profit margins.
As a result, there is strong demand within the maritime industry alone for alternative fuels that can solve this problem, and pollution problems that prevent many ships burning bunker fuels from entering Western ports. M-Fuels can solve both of these problems by providing a cheaper solution that reduces emissions, and even reduces engine maintenance with less carbon build-up.
With the U.S. dry bulk shipping industry alone seeing revenues of around $9 billion per year and record new-builds coming online, this market alone is massive and growing for a tested and proven technology like M-Fuel. Meanwhile, other markets range in possibility from diesel trucking to power generation via burning bunker fuels in developing countries.
The key to profiting for EcoloCap Solutions, however, is not only in sales of the Nano Processing Unit’s. Rather, the company realizes a profit from each gallon sold by being the exclusive provider of a proprietary additive needed in the conversion process. And it’s this aspect of the company’s business model that has many investors bullish on the stock.
Conclusion
In the end, M-Fuel reduces emission by 60% and fuel consumption by 40% while reducing total cost by up to 25%. These tested and proven characteristics make it a no-brainer for many billion dollar industries, ranging from maritime to diesel trucking to power generation. And with EcoloCap recognizing a percentage of profit from sales of the additive for every gallon sold, shareholders could see enormous gains down the road if the technology catches on.

Electric Vehicles Gaining Steam
Electric cars meet the real world
By Alan Boyle
(Volt owner Steve Wojtanek says he's averaging 122 miles per gallon of gasoline in Boca Raton, Fla., mostly because he's driving the bulk of his miles on battery power).
You might not think of electric cars as long-haul vehicles, but months of real-world driving reveal that they can be long-distance marathoners — under the right conditions. Chevrolet, for example, is reporting that the average Volt driver is going 1,000 miles between gasoline fill-ups. And for the most part, Nissan Leaf owners are perfectly happy to do without the gas tank altogether.
It's been six months since we first took to the highways for our first "Electric Road Trip," which is enough time for electric-car automakers to work out the bugs in the system. Nissan came across a software glitch that could keep the battery-powered Leaf from starting, but the main issue has been availability. Only 5,300 Leafs have been sold worldwide, including about 500 in the United States. But Nissan says it will be accelerating production and taking reservations again as of May 1.
Meanwhile, Chevrolet has sold about 1,500 Volts as of the end of March, and the company says sales will be going nationwide by the end of the year. The company has been keeping track of Volt driving patterns through its OnStar network, and the data suggest that Volt owners are getting savvier about maximizing battery use and minimizing use of the car's gasoline-powered "range extender." During March, the average mileage between fill-ups went from 800 to 1,000 miles, Chevrolet reported last week.
Chevy pointed to two Volt owners in particular: Gary Davis of Greenville, S.C., said he went two months between gas purchases and figures his gasoline usage at 547 miles per gallon. Steve Wojtanek of Boca Raton, Fla., said that 2,225 of the 3,417 miles he recorded were driven on battery power, which works out to 122 mpg.
Those figures don't take the electricity expense into account. The Environmental Protection Agency's rating suggests that the Volt gets the equivalent of 93 mpg on electricity alone, 37 mpg when the gasoline engine is running, and 60 mpg for combined battery-gasoline power. The Leaf gets a combined EPA rating of 99 miles per gallon equivalent.
Your mileage may vary
But when it comes to electric cars, that age-old saying — "Your mileage may vary" — never rang truer.
"It's almost a game to see what you can do to get the best mileage out of it," Wojtanek said of his Volt.
Wojtanek told me he's changed his driving style to boost the Volt's efficiency. Quick starts or stops are kept to a minimum. It also helps that most of his trips are short jaunts around Boca Raton, which provides plenty of opportunities for charging up between drives. Pretty much the only time the gas engine turns on is when the 55-year-old commercial actor (and retired airline pilot) takes a trip to Fort Lauderdale or Miami. The round trip to Miami is 98 miles, and generally the gas kicks in after about 40 miles of all-electric driving. "Forty-three miles is about the best I get on the battery," he said.
Wojtanek, who counts a Rolls-Royce and even a replica Batmobile among his past purchases, said the Volt ranks high on his list. "This is the first Chevy since I had a Corvette back in 1991. ... For my driving, this is the best," he said.
He acknowledged that if you consider economics alone, it'll take a long time to make up the difference between a standard gasoline-powered car and the Volt, which retails for more than $40,000 before tax breaks. "The question is, how long does it take to recoup the cost?" he observed. "Every time gas prices go up, the time to recoup gets shorter."
Getting smart about batteries
The Nissan Leaf is cheaper ($33,000 before tax breaks), and the fact that it doesn't use a single drop of gasoline is especially appealing for electric-car purists. But gasoline-free operation also means that the Leaf has a more limited range, and some have complained that the car can quickly run out of juice and leave a driver stranded.
"Some knowledge about lithium-ion batteries helps," Patrick VanDerHyde, a Seattle-area Leaf owner, told me today.
When the Leaf's battery gets near the end, it can deplete quickly, depending on the driving conditions. "All sorts of things affect range, just like all sorts of things affect gas mileage," said VanDerHyde, who works for an electric-grid management company. "We average about 10 trips a day in the car, and most of those drives are five miles or less."
VanDerHyde said he can expect to get 70 miles of "straight-out freeway driving" from a full charge, or closer to 100 miles if the car is in Eco-mode and he sticks to roads where he can travel 40 to 50 mph.
In the five months since I put the Leaf through its paces, dozens of electric-vehicle charging stations have been added to the Department of Energy's list for the Seattle area, but VanDerHyde said the Leaf will really come into its own when fast-charging DC electric stations are installed throughout the region. That will enable the car's owners to get a full charge in a half-hour, as opposed to about seven hours for a 220-volt home charging station or 16 hours for your standard 110-volt outlet. (Right now, the Department of Energy says the closest DC fast-charger is in Portland, Ore., which is more than 170 miles from Seattle.)
'Primary car' ... except for road trips
VanDerHyde said his family uses the Leaf as the "primary car in the way we think about it," and keeps a Honda Odyssey around for road trips.
That's the same strategy followed by Jon Hoekstra, senior scientist with The Nature Conservancy, who was the Seattle area's first Leaf owner. He uses the Leaf for commuting, for the occasional trip to the airport (which has plug-in parking stalls meant for electric vehicles) and even quick jaunts out of town.
"It does everything we need our car to do with the exception of road trips — and that's OK, because we didn't expect that," Hoekstra told me today.
Hoekstra and his wife bought the Leaf back in December to reduce their carbon footprint, and their fuel bill as well. "It really doesn't take much juice," he said. "I think I figured it's 3 cents a mile."
As much as possible, he tries to treat the Leaf like a regular car. "I deliberately have tried not to be a 'hypermiler,'" he said. In the first four months of driving, there's been only one time when the family felt the fear of running out of power. Hoekstra said that happened because the car wasn't fully charged up before the trip, and because nasty weather reduced driving efficiency — all contributing to a perfect storm for range anxiety.
Fortunately, the Leaf made it back home before the electricity ran out. "Other than that one occasion, it's been great," Hoekstra siad.
Do you have electric-vehicle experiences to share? Are you on a waiting list, or are you waiting for other EVs such as the Ford Focus Electric or the plug-in Prius to make their appearance? Feel free to weigh in with your comments below.

I fully expect EVCA at some point to be a major distributor for cars like the Volt and Leaf.
Would you mind sharing?
