Lol...quoting the ousted former CEO who shamefully got paid to do the walk of shame after going 0-3, hardly makes the point. Temple is foolish for letting Tao involve them in this ruse. It will inevitably come back and bite them. Getting paid by a penny stock company for a technology license that is unproven is basically an incentive to bias the results. That's what's happening here and it will at some point rear its ugly head!

Lab effect like Aot,Elektra,Magchgr et al! No real value here that's why there are no buyers. Business moves at the speed of light. No legit company in the space would take 10 years to develop and market a very simple device.

According to promotional press releases, Tao has cured sickle cell anemia, heart murmurs, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, oil pipeline flow issues, reduction in viscosity and fat in chocolate flows, all rolled up into one magic magnetic white pipe. Tao's work cannot withstand the test of academic scrutiny. His willingness to make outrageous claims with ill conceived experiments, make him a perfect tool for penny stock promoters.

Yale professor sees it differently!

Steven Novella on June 29, 2011

Over the last week I have received numerous questions about a recent study (yet to be published, but highly publicized in the press) in which it is claimed that the application of a magnetic field can improve blood flow. Physics World declared in the headline that, “Magnetic fields reduce blood viscosity.” This is not a bad summary of the study, but then the first sentence claims:

Researchers in the US claim that exposing a person to a magnetic field could reduce their risk of a heart attack by streamlining the flow of blood around their body.

Science Magazine ran with the also tame headline of “Magnets Keep Blood Flowing” but also had some problems in the text of their report (which I will get to).

The amount of press attention the study is getting is a bit odd. It’s a small proof-of-concept study looking at the effects of strong magnetic fields on blood flow in vitro. I suspect part of the reason is the same as why so many people have been asking me about it – magnets are frequently marketed with health claims and these claims are often justified by the hand-waving explanation that magnetic fields improve blood flow. The concern is that this small study will be abused by huxsters to sell refrigerator magnets with unfounded health claims.

The history of health claims for magnets goes back as far as knowledge of magnetism itself. In the last decade there appears to have been an upsurge in this old scam – a plethora of products promising to treat arthritis, improve healing, or just give extra energy by placing a magnet over the target area. The magnets used are typically very weak and have a field that barely penetrates the skin, let alone reaching down to the joints or the area of pain.

Further – these products are generally using static magnets. Static magnetic fields would not be expected to have any effect on nerve function or blood flow. It is not surprising, therefore, that the clinical evidence for any efficacy is also negative.

This study is very different, and therefore has no applicability to any magnet product on the market (if it has any applicability at all). Physicists Rongjia Tao Ke Huang took donated blood and then measured its viscosity in a small tube used for that purpose. They then applied a 1.3 Tesla magnetic field to the tube (this is about the strength of the magnetic field used in a typical MRI scanner), with the field aligned with the direction of blood flow, for one minute and found that the viscosity decreased by 20-30%. This effect lasted for about 2 hours.

There are numerous problems with extrapolating from this study to a net clinical effect, and also in the interpretation of the mechanism of the effect. The researchers claim that the effect comes from the red blood cells clumping together, mostly in a line, like box cars on a train. The cells moving together as a train produces less resistance than if they were all bouncing around separately. Further, they tend to flow more down the middle of the tube, reducing friction with the tube wall.

The picture above shows the clumping of the cells. Immediately it seems as if there can be a problem applying this to a person. The glass tube used in the study was larger than the smallest arteries in people. Further, capillaries are only large enough to allow red cells to flow through single file. I would not want my red cells clumping as in the picture above and then trying to squeeze through capillaries. I would not be surprised if the effect on viscosity were reversed for smaller arteries, or even caused serious problems with capillary flow. But I suspect the net effect on blood flow in vivo is negligible, because we have been exposing people to magnetic fields of this strength in MRI scans for a couple decades now without any ill effects.

Another major problem is that the effect only happened when the field was aligned with the (straight) tube. Arteries in a living organism are not straight and are not parallel. They will be traveling every which way in relation to an external field. This will probably be the greatest limiting factor in applying this effect to organisms.

The effect (even in the optimal and contrived conditions of the study) was also short-lived – only two hours. Even if the effect could be achieved in a person, this makes it impractical for any application of routine prevention – such as preventing heart attacks and strokes as was reported in most articles on the study. I could imagine an application to an acute event, such as during a heart attack or stroke, and focused on a single blocked artery that can be aligned with the field. But even then, for the reasons stated above, I doubt the net clinical effect will be significant or necessarily positive.

Regarding mechanism, the Science Magazine article reports:

The magnetic effect, the researchers say, all comes down to hemoglobin, the iron-based protein inside red blood cells. In the same way that iron filings align themselves along the field lines around a bar magnet, so the red blood cells align themselves along the straight field lines of Tao and Huang’s electromagnet.

There is a significant problem with the analogy of hemoglobin to iron filings – iron is ferromagnetic, which means it has a strong response to an external magnetic field (in addition to the ability to retain a magnetic field itself, but this is not as relevant to the current study). The iron in hemoglobin is not ferromagnetic. Ferrohemoglobin (without oxygen attached) is weakly paramagnetic (is attracted to an external magnetic field). So it can align with a strong external magnetic field, but this effect is generally very weak. Oxyhemoglobin is non-magnetic (has a magnetic moment of zero, because it has no free electrons) and therefore does not respond at all to an external magnetic field. So oxygenated blood in arteries would have a very weak to no response to to an external magnetic field due to its hemoglobin.

Red cells themselves may be weakly diamagnetic – meaning they are repulsed by an external magnetic field (this is why a frog levitates over a powerful magnetic field) and this may be the effect that causes the observed clumping.

To reinforce this point, the weak paramagnetic or diamagnetic properties of cells or living tissue require a strong magnetic field to have any effect – like an MRI magnet. The small relatively weak magnets used in products with health claims are orders of magnitude too weak to have any such effect. The hemoglobin gambit (based on the fact that hemoglobin contains an iron atom) collapses under close examination.

Conclusion

It is interesting that a strong magnetic field can have a temporary effect on red blood cells. Whether or not this effect will have any future clinical applications remains to be seen. I doubt it, for all the reasons I explained above, but it’s possible someone may find a clever use for this effect.

The simplistic extrapolation from this contrived and temporary effect to improving blood flow and thereby reducing risk of heart attacks, however, is unjustified and misleading. Further, any attempt to use this study as a justification for clinical claims made for weak permanent magnets is beyond misleading , in the realm of the absurd.

If that's true the pps would have bounced long ago. Instead shareholders got the gift that keeps giving....lower lows and a fractional share price. This guy nailed it years ago...I say kudos to him! Should be required reading for anyone investing dollar $1

"
The top corporate State income tax rate in California is 8.84%
The top corporate State income tax rate in Texas is 0%,
though most companies must pay 1% of "taxable margin" on corporate income allotted to Texas "

Qsep has 100million Nol. Paying income taxes requires them to generate profits. They could move to Alaska and it would make no difference.

Company doesn't even show up on any scans must be a new scam
fresh out the oven! I'll bet all these guys are interrelated. Stay tuned!

Funds were nothing short of squandered. Pure combustion! No reasonable explanation can be made to support such spending given the absolute abysmal results of the entire history of the company and rag tag compilation of whacked out products and schemes. R/d ratios alone make the scam meter go off scale! Then each successive executive gets a little pot of gold on his way to the next gig!! Say it ain't so!

I have issue with the company commingling operations with JBL, moving into their space and yet not one single detail of this arrangement is made public. We are all talking about it but no one knows the nature of Lane's relationship beyond the vague release. The Bod have a fiduciary duty to protect shareholders interest yet they choose to trample those interests at every twist and turn.

It's Bigger himself who controls his linked in account not the " internet"

former CEO linked in says he has a new gig!

Gregg Bigger
Managing Member T&L Offshore
Since March 2017.

I'm sure this type of route for the conversion of shares has been well thought out. More so then actual product engineering. One needs to look no further than the financial docs to see that in motion. R and D is a fraction of the total costs of operations which overwhelming consists of executive salaries and inflated overhead!

Implying the CEO salary is being cut 50% when actual management costs will rise, suggests your math isn't accounting for the CFO new salary and whatever benefit the new guy will get outside his paycheck. I'm betting its at least 50-75k a year additional.

So bub...no matter how you stack it. Qsep will need to peddle 2 million shares per month just to cover the most minimal expenses.

Your math doesn't compute:

Bigger still gets paid 290k per year
CEO and CFO combine to 300k.. actual expenses will increase. The killer will be the fact that the new guy can run many other expense through the corp without much oversight. In penny parlance: Ripe Pickens!

Yeah of course you do! Every move this company makes is met with pretty much the same glowing reaction! Even when management continues its total disregard for its shareholders. The same was said when Cecil came in, when Bigger came in, it's now the same with the new guy! The move "closer to the action" is 5 years too late. The money consumed will never be regenerated nor will the company be able to legitimize its products in the real world...but in penny land Aot is already a success!

Principal offices is now.
Former address is then.

It does not get any clearer than this.

Yes indeed it's true. All this good news was released after hours on a Friday! No matter how they try to engineer this the result will be the same.

I bet they don't even take down the JBL sign!

All filings have Lanes address now listed as the corporate address and show the Santa Barbara address as the previous address. The shareholders meeting is now being in Houston. That means Qsep now will operate out of Lane's 5k sqft shed in Tomball next to the heating and a/c store! Nothing speculative about it...yet the company's doesn't even have the balls to tell its shareholders!
They have to figure it out or wait until the 10q and the end of next month.

Typical Qsep lateral move. Rewards get present to "special" insiders while investors get hung out to dry.

He is getting the company to move out of state to his facility. So in one fail swoop he secures $150k a year plus getting his overhead paid for by the corp. I'd say he made things happen already.,.but just for himself! Typical move by the BOD.

Lol! Too funny!!

That's 4 months away. They need to raise another 400k now just to make it there!

Public disclosures accurately depict what the current situation is. The new savior CEO is still bound by the laws of physics and market forces. The lack of operating cash and the companies ongoing wholesaling of equity to finance the day to day, shows how little they value the investments made by the common shareholder.

By all measure of performance, none of the company products are ready for sale nor do they have an established network of sales and support personnel ready to go if they should actually get one. The numbers and allocation of funds doesn't lie. This companies emphasis is selling shares not on developing useful products.

"
Why some here continue to stay and
Spend so much time Chubby Checkering things make me believe more that the AOT is the real "


Great strategy!

About time someone called this company out on its "spend like a drunken sailor" strategy!

"
Dr. Bunting has been an investor in the Company, acquiring a significant number of shares over the last four years. During this period, he has been and will remain an unbiased shareholder advocate looking forward to commercialization, deployment, and eventual profitability for the Company. "

So was a host of other people including famous lawyers and celebs, praising how Zeros magnets would Save the word! Either the company is an outright scam or they are the most incompetent management on the face of the planet...either way it makes no sense to buy a single share until they prove they have REAL sale that generates revenue. I'm sure the new CEO has a few cards up his sleeve but unfortunately he not playing with full deck!

Everything is outsourced because this company doesn't sell products
it sells paper. I know of no other "operations" he would he be in charge of.

From the companies own press release

"Mr. Khami has spent a large portion of his career developing manufacturing quality metrics"

Just another poorly calculated move that was intended to boost share value by changing the optics. It of course failed miserably as does everything else put fourth by this hang penny misfits.

lol...Qsep needs a manufacturing guy like a hole in the head. Qsep needs customers that place orders before they have to worry about actually making them. Besides here's the real view of the company as through the clear lens of unbiased reporting.


https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-17/trump-s-interior-pick-consulted-for-a-company-with-no-customers?cmpid=yhoo.headline

"Khami didn't make it through the probation period & was shown the door a long time ago."

Just like the Aot on Tcp and Kmi! Shown the door and ask not to come back! I wonder if Mr Khami is aware of insiders disparaging him to such a degree. If they cut him loose without a severance then I'm sure he is free to respond.

Legitimate companies don't hire a guy out of state, issue a press release...then never mention it again except to selected insiders and promotional agents to distribute only if grilled ! It's kind like all the numerous tests and product launches the company has bungled. Don't ask...don't tell!

Maybe his isp a little slow!

He's long gone and got a real gig. Pros will say he didn't perform. Truth is he was good enough to get hired by a real revenue generating company. He like Zinke must have needed to make some summer scratch! Khami also like Lane did not picked up and move to California. Management never dealt with his departure as expected because they desperately needed the headline. I remember all the back slapping when he got hired. Not a word when it didn't work out.

Offering? Only convertible notes at
.05 with a 10% discount have been mentioned. That's the only way they have a shot at raising dollar one. Interest on these notes alone will implode them to nothingness in 2017.

50k + 40k = less than 1 month operating cash reserves. Then?

"As of December 31, 2016 and thereafter, our expenses ran, and are expected to continue to run, at an approximate “cash burn rate” of $100,000 per month, which amount could increase during 2017. In order to fund our capital needs, we conducted private offerings of our securities in 2015 and 2016. While discussion regarding additional interim and permanent financings are being actively conducted, management cannot predict with certainty that an equity line of credit will be available to provide adequate funds, or any funds at all, or whether any additional interim or permanent financings will be available at all or, if it is available, if it will be available on favorable terms. If we cannot obtain needed capital, our research and development, and sales and marketing plans, business and financial condition and our ability to reduce losses and generate profits will be materially and adversely affected."

Issuance of Convertible Notes

From January 1, 2017 up to March 31, 2017, the Company issued convertible notes in aggregate of $248,600 in exchange for cash of $226,000. The notes are unsecured, convertible into 4,972,000 shares in common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.05 per share and mature in one year. In connection with these notes, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 2,486,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share and expiring one year from the date of issuance. As a result, the Company will record a note discount of $248,600 to account for the relative fair value of the warrants, the notes’ beneficial conversion feature and original issue discount which will be amortized as interest expense over the life of

Written off? Not lately.. in 2014 he was worth 40 million. Besides he is a legitimate "master" of his sport which cannot begin to compare to Qsep who have been woefully unable to get its technology out of lab and into a suitable testing environment. Using your analogy, they would occupy the caddy shack on public course!

"
Maybe it needs someone with actual connections to the oil space and more intimate knowledge about how it all works?

That is the only reasoning I see that would make sense.
"

Really? Like Dickerson and Zinke...how much expertise can a small company afford? Don't sales agents have this knowledge?

Qsep had after market auto mavens on the board ,when they were hocking Tao's magic diesel fuel device and the magnetic hi-rise but that did diddly! This is the con...where are the In house technical people...the heck with 6 guys on the BOD...CEO/CFO and legacy employment contracts...how about one in house engineer?? Also I think everyone will admit that suspect news is always suppressed when it doesn't suit the immediate need. Like the latest reality that the company is moving to Tomball and taking up space in new CEO's business location. Yet the company does not officially announce it. This is not just a down the street move, it creates all kinds of conflicts of interest and commingling of expenses. Yes... it is closer to the action and this is the type of positive move the company should have employed 50 million dollars ago buts It's now just window dressing and allowing Lane a "bigger" source of guaranteed revenue aside from his 150k salary.
So now the push will come.

"
Except the bit in the 10K about them working together to find a location for a higher-volume test.

Evidently then they are still working together. "

Then where is the consideration for the contract that everyone is hanging their hats on? Seriously if Aot condensate mets its endpoints then Kmi would buy or lease it and have no problem saying so. The fact that the truth is still being suppressed tells you the new guy is playing ball like his predecessors. Also the promoted deal always touted the Kmi line to be a high volume 100k bpd. This is pretty much the maximum for a single unit. What's the point of moving it up a higher volume line...unless of course they lied about it in the first place. Bigger has participated in this ruse significantly, yet he walks free with a built in payday.

"Now we know why Mr Bigger was excited in the below live question & answer session held RECENTLY. "

Mr Bigger contributed a net return of over -80% I doubt investors care how "excited" he gets! If share value was based on excitement then Qsep would be priceless.
