LAS VEGAS, NV -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/20/09 -- Easy Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: ESYE), the sole owner of the YoGen® product suite, a line of highly innovative, compact, ergonomically efficient manpowered generators designed for use in recharging portable electronic devices ranging in size from cell phones to laptop computers, is pleased to announce that it has completed finalization of the design of the smaller of its two models of YoGen® chargers and is now ready to outline its timetable for placing the two YoGen® models into mass production.
The YoGen® is available in two models: the basic version, which is a standalone hand-powered charger and the premium version, that additionally includes a backup 650 mAh 3.7V battery which will provide charging power either when mechanically activated or via the battery when it is carrying a charge. For convenience, the premium version provides an SOC indicator, which advises the user of the charge state of the battery. The YoGen® devices represent a significant breakthrough in manpowered chargers in that, in addition to their extremely compact size, they are able to produce a uniquely high ratio of electrical output to human energy input and are far less tiring to operate than competitive units. In other words, these chargers have advanced the user friendliness and economics of this technology to the point at which they become eminently practical and desirable as a means to fill a void in an almost limitless market.
The company has reached the point where it is now able to provide a timetable for the process of ramping up commercial mass production of both models of the YoGen® charger. The tooling is either under construction or completed and many components are already in hand. Easy Energy anticipates the first assembly pilot run of 100 units to begin on March 11, 2009, followed by an assembly pilot run of 1000 units beginning on March 27, 2009. Mass production of the two models is then planned to be initiated on April 9, 2009.
"We are now seeing the concrete results of all of the planning and hard work it has taken to bring our company to this point in the process of commercializing our breakthrough YoGen® technology," stated Guy Ofir, CEO of Easy Energy, Inc. "In addition to going into mass production with the YoGen® models, we are making great progress on other fronts as well. We intend to soon be announcing more progress regarding those of our products, which are still in development and will also be providing updates on advances pertaining to our marketing and distribution efforts. This is truly an exciting time for Easy Energy."
About Easy Energy:
Easy Energy, Inc.

That's some good news.
Yep, looks to be turning.
Nice info , thanks.
Sweet, early bird gets the worm their DFB.
RZ chart - not liking it short term. Needs to hold 3.11 or it's gonna test the lower bolli at 2.91,if that doesn't hold be prepared for some pain. Long term though I really like RZ. The most recent GeoThermal news it had was huge and with Obama president, green is going to be the place to be.
LOL, that is one thing you do NOT want, a pissed off wife.
This does look like it has a promising future. Definately worth a few to play with.
LOL - Not bad at all, if you like wasting money.
Many applications for the PURO units.
Very well could. Key moment right now is getting that A/S reduction completed.

"The exact type of RO system they are selling can be purchased at any Home Depot store for much less."
Really? You mind showing us a list of these? Also according to you, PURO does not have one of their clarifiers in action so I would ike to how you know these units at Home depot cost less and perform the EXACT same duties as PURO's unit does?
Will be waiting for the list of companies that provide the EXACT same unit for less. Thanks.
It seems as though none of the handheld chargers can right now so if ESYE's product can then that's would give it a huge boost. Time for another email to the company I guess LOL.
Here are some reviews of the competition. Not good reviews either.
IST SideWinder cell phone charger
IST SideWinderEditor's rating: 5.3
The good: Compact and light; reusable; LED throws 5 minutes of light after a couple minutes of cranking.
The bad: Tough to crank; several minutes of cranking gave us only a few minutes of phone life; won't work on a completely dead phone battery.
The bottom line: The IST SideWinder might be small, reusable, and environmentally friendly, but we never got a decent cell phone charge from the device.
This crank-driven emergency cell phone charger seems like the ideal choice for a chatter who's stranded on, say, a deserted country road and needs to squeeze a call out of a dead handset. But while we got sore fingers from furiously cranking the IST SideWinder ($25), overall we couldn't get enough of a charge to even place a call for more than a few minutes.
The compact, lightweight SideWinder (2.3 by 1.8 by 1.5 inches, 2.2 ounces) comes in a translucent blue plastic shell, which is curved slightly for a better fit in your palm. On the right side of the SideWinder is a small crank that folds into the casing when it's not in use. On top are a small power port and a white LED that provides 5 minutes of illumination after cranking--great for dark environments. The charger also comes with a small lanyard and a vinyl carrying case.
Setup is relatively simple: Just plug one end of the included cable into the IST power port, then attach the other end to your handset's AC input. Adapters for most Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Audiovox, Kyocera, and Samsung phones are included, but you should check exact compatibility with your phone before buying. Next, you extend the small plastic handle and begin cranking at about two revolutions per second. After 2 minutes of cranking, you're supposed to get about 6 minutes of talk time and 30 minutes of standby time.
Unfortunately, the IST SideWinder won't work on a completely dead battery. We attached the charger to a drained Motorola V600 and cranked diligently for about 2 minutes. The crank was a bit stiff, and our fingers began to get sore at about the 1-minute mark. We then hit the Moto's power button; the handset powered up fine but died as soon as we started dialing. We then cranked for another 2 minutes, during which our fingers begged for mercy, and the SideWinder grew noticeably hot--again, no dice.
The IST SideWinder performed marginally better with a battery that had a few seconds of juice left. We tested it with the Samsung MM-A920 and got about 3 minutes of power after 2 minutes of cranking. Still, it was barely enough time to make a decent emergency call. We would have kept cranking until we got a decent charge, but frankly, our arms were rubber after the fruitless 5-minute workout.
ElectroHiFi SOSCharger
ElectroHiFi SOSChargerEditor's rating: 5.6
The good: Small and compact; crank drive makes the charger reusable; LED produces a few minutes of light after 2 to 3 minutes of cranking.
The bad: Tough to crank; several minutes of cranking gave us mere minutes of phone life; won't revive a completely dead battery.
The bottom line: Like the nearly identical SideWinder, the ElectroHiFi SOSCharger delivered a minimal charge in exchange for several minutes of cranking.
Closely resembling the crank-driven IST SideWinder, the ElectroHiFi SOSCharger ($20) also suffered from reliability issues. After several minutes of cranking, this palm-size charger managed to charge our Motorola V600 handset for only a few seconds, though our Sony Ericsson S710a lit up for longer. While we're all for reusable, environmentally friendly sources of power for our portable electronics, they're not much good if they can't deliver the juice.
The ElectroHiFi SOSCharger is essentially an exact copy of the SideWinder. Measuring a compact 2.3 by 1.8 by 1.5 inches and weighing in at 2.5 ounces (slightly heavier than the SideWinder), the SOSCharger comes in both silver and translucent blue.The plastic shell is curved for a better ergonomic fit and small crank folded into the side. And like the SideWinder, there's a white LED and a power port on top of the device. The charger comes with a small lanyard but no carrying case (like the one that comes with the SideWinder).
Setting up the ElectroHiFi SOSCharger is a snap; just attach the included power cord from the charger to your phone's AC input. Adapters for various phone makers, such as Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Audiovox, Kyocera, and Samsung, are included. Once the power cable is all set, you unfold the small handle and begin cranking.
According to the ElectroHiFi SOSCharger's specs, 3 minutes of cranking should get you between 2 and 8 minutes of talk time. Just as with the SideWinder, however, the SOSCharger came up disappointingly empty on a dead battery. The device won't deliver enough juice to power our depleted Motorola V600 for more than a few seconds; by the time we started dialing a number, the phone went dark. We tried cranking for another 3 minutes, but again, our V600 died within moments. On the other hand, when using it with a near-dead Sony Ericsson S710a, we got enough power for a quick 6-minute call.
Which 10Q is that in rkor?
Nice find rkor. Kind of reluctant to send thema n email because investors can shoot themselves in the foot by harrassing possible clients of the company.
Will have to ask the company about that. I have so many emails into them already I don't know if I should send another LOL.
Excellent. Will wait and see when I can buy one of those abd boys.
Yeah I got a good laugh myself from soem of those. The concept seems popular and very well could be a big money maker for the company. Would be nice to see one in action though.
Only one way to find out if it is still an agreement.
Would be interesting to know when this starts.
On April 20th of this year the company executed an agreement for the Middle East Territory with Al-Sadeef Trading Company (headquartered in Jordan) and its shareholders Mr. Tahseen Jasim Hamadi and Mr. Ali Jasim Hamadi. In exchange for exclusive sales and marketing rights in the region, Al-Sadeef agreed to purchase an amount of at least 300,000 Yogens per year or $3,000,000.
Easy Energy Introduces YoGen Max Laptop ChargerPrototype of foot pedal laptop charger has “eco” written all over
By Georgiana Bobolicu, Gadgets Editor
2nd of December 2008, 18:47 GMT
If we want to run all those devices that make our lives so much better, we need to find a way to power them that won’t cost a fortune and that can be used without danger of further damage to the environment. Using a disposable battery on a daily basis is clearly not a good idea. Renewable energy has to be the way. But, since the sun or the wind are rather difficult to use on a daily basis, Easy Energy has an alternative, the YoGen Max foot pedal laptop charger.
Still only a prototype, the YoGen Max is very easy to use and to carry around with you, as it will fold up for easy travel, allowing you to run your laptop like an antique sewing machine.
Of course, we all know that the human body coupled with the right balance of mechanical generators can produce electricity. But if you're one of those people who compulsively taps their foot anyway, the YoGen Max can help you run your laptop from anywhere, without a supplementary effort, isn't that right?
Thanks to this functioning principle, you'll practically be able to use your laptop far away from areas that have electricity, in the middle of the nature, while working in a much more relaxing way. Although its main purpose is to charge laptops, the YoGen Max can also be used to charge other small devices, without any restrictions.
No matter how easy it may be to charge a laptop or any other device this way, it may become somehow tiresome, since most of the electronics that we use on a daily basis require rather long operating times. But there's no need to worry, since Easy Energy has thought that through and endowed the YoGen Max with a high capacity internal rechargeable battery, packaged within an electronic block playing the role of a construction base. Besides the battery and in order to provide a maximum level of versatility, the electronic block of the YoGen Max makes it possible to set the desired output in a range covering all existing laptops and other similar devices.
Since it's just a prototype, there's no price attached to the YoGen Max just yet, but, according to the Easy Energy website, it should hit the market in the near future and I guess we will find out then.
Question...How is ESYE suporting the different battery types and connections (the actual connectors) to the different types of devices? Any thoughts on this?
Interesting thoughts there lucky. IF/WHEN the company starts the marketing in the US that very well could be another potential market to tap into.
I would say noone knows anything about the details of those. It's easier to speculate than to email IR or get details from the company LOL. That being said I have an email out to IR asking about that. Regardless, I find it amazing that 20 million shars are causing such a fuss.
Well, I love the outdoors and love to hike with my family and kids. I can see these products as a HUGE benefit for this type of activity in the case an emergency.
The product is definitely enticing. Still doing dome DD so I appreciate all the info.
Not a bad idea there Stevo. I am thinking kiosks for some reason for starters.
Welcome Ax. Be sure to sign up for Hands email list. YOu can find the info in the sticky notes above.
Where is the company at in doing this?
Easy Energy Yogen Max foldable, man-powered laptop charger prototype complete
by Laura June, posted Dec 4th 2008 at 2:57PM
Charging your laptop could start to feel a lot more like work in the near future, if the folks at Easy Energy have it their way. They've just completed a protoype for the Yogen Max laptop charger, and though details are particularly spartan about the actual workings of the device, as you can see from the mock-up, it's going to involve a human foot pumping juice directly into your laptop. Unlike some other devices we've seen, the Yogen Max has no external battery, plus it's way more foldable and boasts a totally awesome font. The spokesperson from Easy Energy says they hope to bring the product to the consumer market sometime in 2009. If that girl in the background of the photo is any indication of how outlandishly fun the human-powered charger is to use, we sure hope it's available soon.

The Yogen Max is a foot pedal laptop charger prototype that will fold up for easy travel, allowing you to run your laptop like an antique sewing machine.
Of course, we all know that the human body coupled with the right balance of mechanical generators can produce electricity. But if you're one of those people who compulsively taps their foot anyway, the Yogen Max can help you run your laptop from anywhere—not just when you're stuck traveling abroad without adapters, but when half your body is pinned under a tree in the wilderness, and all you have is one leg free and an open laptop to call for help.
There's no release date or price at this time, but we'll keep an eye out for ya (pending we're not trapped under a tree somewhere in the wilderness without access to laptop power) and (pending it can produce enough power to run an actual laptop). [Easy Energy via Coolest Gadgets]

Most laptop chargers are rather bulky and huge, even with the strides we’ve taken in the world of miniaturization these days. Easy Energy aims to go against the grain with its Yogen Max foldable laptop charger which is able to charge gasping laptops without having to depend on any external power source. Sounds pretty crazy, considering how they’re not going to depend on solar power either. Check out what Guy Ofir, Chief Executive Officer of Easy Energy has to say, “This unique product will allow for the complete charging of a laptop anywhere in the world, inside or outside, wired or not.” Yogen Max is tipped to be released sometime next year. I myself am pretty interested to see how the Yogen Max will pan out when it is finally available to the masses. Guess you’ll have pretty solid calf muscles once you’re done juicing up your laptop with this.

This is just a sample of all 'gadget" sites out there that has ran some coverage on ESYE's Yogen Max. Very impressive!
Thanks Stevo, as always.
Excellent. Just a matter of time here.
Thanks brudiver. I also noticed that the company is reducing it's AS to 150 million. That is a HUGE reduction in shares, when is that expected to be finalized?
Morning people. Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekeknd. Maybe this week will be the start of a nice reversal here. Maybe Shawn can get us some nice updates here soon.
