Icantstop, I hope you and Zarasso are right about the news not being about Dr Tao and Turkey. Hey are you the same "Icantstop" from Raging Bull?
Zarasso, I agree news from the States would be better than an update from Dr Tao and Turkey. But I think the Turkey update is more likely. There is some news on it already on a blog site.
There already has been positive news results on Phase 1 testing in China. Phase 2 starts in August. Yes we did go up to $4 to $5 many years ago on a China contract that fell through with another product, not the AOT. Like you pointed out already, it depends on the size of the contract. I cannot wait until we have around 3 contracts with 2 of them being large.
LOL Laystay. Even though my current long term shares are free. (1/2 were bou ght at .0005 cents and I sold some of my shares when we spiked to .07 cents a couple years ago, although my actual sell price was around .03 cents) I did get me some more shares this week. I need something to hold when I sell my long term shares.
I am the type of investor who has to sell at least part of my shares during any major spike way above what I bought it at. A bird in the hand and all that.
1Lastay, I must agree. I got so excited after reading Ricks responce I wet my pants! I guess time for adult depends. LOL
I would think that the right endorsements could definately carry weight. That's why I asked him the question.
The small snowball is about to start gaining momentum and is about to get bigger.
Ya'll will see me at a freeway entrance if you live in sunny California with a sign this weekend saying: "Will work for SVMI stock!" Yes-surey-Bob
Interesting volume and small increase in pps today. Anyone expecting news next week?
Rick, GREAT to hear about the very important changes in the Marketing and Sales you mentioned in you last post! Now it should just be a matter of time if the product is as good as everyone says.
My question is: Do you know if any of the Fleets we have sold to are going to give us a big endorsement we can use?
NC Jim, what I am hoping is that when they do finally start releasing significant news and financials is that it is done back to back. Like every 2 or 3 days, causing the stock to move up and up for a bit.
I know, just dreaming.
Rick, good to hear! My brother made his classic and hot rod hobby into a business, so was just wondering. Do you go to Pomona race way each year for their big hot rod and classic gathering?
I would love to see this puppy take off by next year. I am a long time share holder. Have you heard Serge ever talk about a share buy back after they pay off bills, expand and start making extra money?
Rick, when you get back in the classic car biz in the fall, will you still work for SVMI or are changing jobs?
Good morning future muli-millionares. You can once again sign up on STWA websites to get alerts from the company.
www.stwa.com Go to investors tab and click and look for alerts.
Besides finally getting the finacials finished, I would like to see a share buy back by the company when they start making profits and reducing the amount of shares.
Very nice new video.
Dr Tao should be in Turkey this week speaking about AOT technolgy's. See previous PR below:

SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwire -06/28/12)- STWA, Inc. (ZERO) ("STWA" or the "Company"), a developer of applied solutions for oil and fuel delivery systems in the multi-billion dollar oil pipeline and diesel engine markets, today announced it has successfully completed lab testing its Applied Oil Technologyâ„¢ (AOTâ„¢) oil pipeline efficiency technology for use in China. This lab test is the first in a three phase process towards full commercial availability of AOTâ„¢ in the China pipeline market. Based upon these strong lab test results, STWA is preparing to ship its AOTâ„¢ 1.2v to China for field testing, the second in the three stage process, scheduled for late August.
Dr. Rongjia Tao of Temple University, co-developer of STWA's AOTâ„¢ technology, conducted the laboratory tests at China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau's (CPP) PetroChina (CNPC) Pipeline Science and Technology R&D Center located in Langfang, China. The center is the sole authority in China that certifies all domestic and foreign products in the pipeline sector. Dr. Tao tested AOTâ„¢'s effectiveness in reducing crude oil viscosity on three crude oil samples: Daqing crude oil, Changqing crude oil, and Venezuela crude oil. Each of these varieties of oil is transported via pipelines in China. These test results are expected to yield very specific metrics relevant to the country's pipeline needs.
CPP testing is being conducted in conjunction with STWA's commercialization partner in China, Beijing Heng He Xing Ye Technology Development Company (TDC). As per the terms of STWA's Cooperation Framework Agreement, TDC is responsible for the full costs of implementing the testing and certification of AOTâ„¢ with CPP.
TDC's General Manager (CEO), Mr. Zhao Ruilin, commented, "AOTâ„¢ is a major global technological breakthrough in reducing viscosity of crude oil, as these test results have shown. The technology offers great social and economic impacts. I believe there is a large national demand for AOTâ„¢ in China as it will greatly alleviate the high energy consumption issues that are associated with current oil production and transportation in China."
"Our preliminary results from these lab tests in China are extremely encouraging. We are currently finalizing our analysis of the data and intend to publish results in the very near future," said STWA CEO Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte. "We are very confident that CPP will validate that the results have surpassed initial expectations and that CPP will clear us for moving onto the next phase of in-country testing. This next phase involves field testing our AOTâ„¢ 1.2v unit, just as we did successfully at the U.S. Department of Energy's Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Facility in Casper, Wyoming."

Zero 2 b a Hero, love your screen name and welcome to the probable future multi millionares club and the board.
I don't think we will have a contract in China in 2 months as you expect because Phase 2 tests do not start until August. Then we still have to do Phase 3 testing. I am expecting probable contracts from China as early as November this year up to around March next year at the latest. I think we will probably get a USA contract a couple months before China. But either way, I'm happy!
Are you on any other Zero boards like Raging Bull?
Website has ever so slightly been modified. Did not find anything majoy yet.
Nice 1Lastay ! I did not catch that on last web cast. Exciting indeed. (about the New generation Dynovalve Pro for diesel engines)
1Lastay, although I would like to here about the DV-Pro soon also. I am more hoping to hear next month about the advertising campaign launched with L-Fix and others, a couple fleet announcements, along with the financials filed all with-in a 2 week period causing a nice little spike in pps cause daddy needs new shoes. Don't get me wrong, I plan to hold most of my shares much longer.
Zarasso, to answer your question, yes it's encouraging. So Phase 2 testing in China will begin some time in August. Then we need Phase 3 on an actual pipeline, and for how long? A week, a month?
So it looks like there will not be a contract any time soon from China. I think we will probably get a contract in the US before China. My guess for a China contract would be at the earliest November but probably later, up to around March 2013.
In the US do we need to go thru all 3 Phases of testing? Probably? So a Company would test their needs at the US Dept. of Energys site we are leasing, then they might want one set up on one of their pipelines for phase 3 testing. We could be done with Phase 2 testing in the US with a company or two easily. So we would just need phase 3 testing done. So I am guessing out of my butt that we could get a contract with the US a couple months before china?
What do you guys think?
It's hard to have patients Rightothesky as Daddy needs some money asap! But I am not expecting news this week, but expecting a couple next month. Probably updates on US and China testing. Oh and Dr Tao was supposed to be giving a talk in another Country next month on AOT technology.
55 Chevy, are you going to take a tax write off this December on PHEI for next years taxes? Have you heard anything more? Thanks in advance.
Iteresting volume and slight up tick toward the end of the day.
Yeah I sure would like to know when we are gonna ink our 1st contract! You said you would like to fast forward to about 3 to 4 months from now. I would hope by then the China story would be told and moving along, but am truly hoping we get a good ol USA one before then.
Since I am bored and have been around ZERO a long time, I thought I would share this old article about Dr Tao shortly after he joined us. The technology has a lot more uses than just Oil Pipelines, Cars, Motorcycles, Boats, Planes, food industry, etc..
Lady's and Gentlemen for your enjoyment and to ease the boredom, click on below:
http://science-query.com/tag/rongjia-tao/
Yeah I think your right Duffess, I think they mentioned working with fleets of 100 or more vehicles. Then the numbers of 2,500 to over 10,000 was mentioned.
I also wish they had mentioned the share structure. Perhaps one of us should email them for the next webcast about it.
They are working with over 50 fleets with vehicles from 2,500 to 10,000 per fleet. That's a minimum of over 132,500, but probably a lot higher!
The increase in mpg from 15 to 23 mpg average was nice too.
I don't think they will release actual total sales numbers for awhile. Was the audited financial they are working on for up to December 2011? Anyone remember?
That was short and did not cover as much as I had hoped for. But working with 50 plus fleets was impressive.
Nit2win, I understand your point of view. But what the chart does tell me is that unless you have bought in at recent lows, you are probably down a lot of money. Especially if your a long and have been thru 1 to 3 reverse splits.
Even if a long cost averages down, they will be lucky to get their money back on the next or hopefull run. They have not shown me anything to believe that this stock is going to be huge yet. Is it a possibility, yes, but very doubtful and a big gamble of a stock unless you could short it. It looks like it is making progress according to PR's, but I prefer reports to the SEC and audited financials to see how the company is really doing. Not fluff or hopeful PR's. But I have played some penny stocks nicely on really good PR's that ended up fizzling out later, but still made some nice money on it.
Sad but true Shemusotoole! I am staying away from this stock now a days, but when/if it hits .0005 I will spend $100 to cost average down as I have a few shares from the last revesrse split. But even if I did that, they will probably do another RS with in 2 years or so. And I doubt any large contracts will come in before then. I hope so for the longs, but doubt it from it's history.
But all it does on the charts is go down.
True that Rightothesky! Good things are worth waiting for!
Rightothesky, I found another PR about Phase 1 nano testing, and the tests themselfs took 2 days. But I do not know how long to set up. See 2nd PR on Phase 1 nano tests done previously in US below.

Update: Confirmation of STWA Effect on Crude Oil at Nano Level
Testing at National Institute of Standards and Technology Provides Evidence of Decreased Viscosity That Could Make Crude Oil Easier and Cheaper to Transport
SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwire - September 17, 2010) - STWA, Inc. (OTCBB: ZERO) ("STWA" or the "Company"), an innovative company focused on technologies that improve energy efficiency, announced today that Dr. Rongjia Tao, Department Chair of Temple University's Physics Department, has captured microscopic images of the Company's technology decreasing the viscosity of crude oil.
There is a direct correlation between the time and expense of extracting and transporting crude oil with its viscosity. STWA aims to provide a turnkey solution to change the way that oil explorers, drillers and wholesalers manage oil, thereby improving their efficiency and profitability.
"The pictures obtained by Dr. Tao clearly show STWA's technology affecting crude oil at the nano-scale level," commented Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte, Chairman and CEO of STWA, Inc. "This evidence supports our upcoming testing of the AOTâ„¢ technology with the U.S. Department of Energy at their Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC). This confirmation is another significant milestone for the company and evidence that will be helpful in securing the commitments needed in our next phases of development."
On August 2 and 3, 2010, a group led by Dr. Rongjia Tao from Temple University conducted experiments using small-angle neutron scattering at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Dr. Tao's team used the best technology available to investigate at a nano-scale level the effects produced by STWA's Technology. The tests captured data and pictures with and without the field, confirming scientific evidence of its effect at a molecular level.
Mr. Kyte added, "We have used the most sophisticated technology available to us for watching, in real time, how our technology affects crude oil. The team was able to observe and record images at a nano-scale to examine direct evidence of our technology on the microstructure of crude oil aggregating it into chains, the basis by which our technology operates." Mr. Kyte concluded, "As global reserves continue to shift to heavier, more expensive crudes, our technology's ability to reduce crude oil's viscosity becomes increasingly relevant and valuable in enabling pipelines to operate faster and more efficiently on a global scale."

This confirmation is another significant milestone for the company and evidence that will be helpful in securing the commitments needed in our next phases of development." The results were measured using the Small Angle Neutron Scattering Beam (NG7 SANS) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology "NIST" just outside Washington, D.C., USA.
On August 2 and 3, 2010, a group led by Dr. Rongjia Tao from Temple University conducted experiments at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Neutron Research (CNR). NIST, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, founded in 1901 in Gaithersburg, Maryland, is the nation's first federal physical science research laboratory.
Dr. Tao's team used the NG7 SANS (Small Angle Neutron Scattering) beam to investigate at a nano-scale level, the effects produced by STWA's Technology. The NG7 line was built as a joint effort between Exxon Corporation and the U.S. Government for fluid research, and uses the relatively new technique of neutron reflectometry to investigate the near-surface structure of many materials at the molecular level. The tests captured data and pictures with and without the field, confirming scientific evidence of its effect at a molecular level. The report can be found at the following link: http://www.stwa.com/STWA/whitepapers/STWA_Crude_Oil_Electrorheology_Neutron

About NIST
NIST, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, was founded in 1901 as the nation's first federal physical science research laboratory. Over the years, the scientists and technical staff at NIST have made solid contributions to image processing, DNA diagnostic "chips," smoke detectors, and automated error-correcting software for machine tools. Just a few of the other areas in which NIST has had major impact include atomic clocks, X-ray standards for mammography, scanning tunneling microscopy, pollution-control technology, and high-speed dental drills. We invite you to explore our web site to learn about our current projects, to find out how you can work with us, or to make use of our products and services. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is an unusual federal agency. Its mission is broad -- to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.
An essential part of NIST's work is to anticipate the future. Fast-moving sectors such as nanotechnology, quantum information science, homeland security, information technology, and advanced manufacturing need sophisticated technical support systems to flourish and grow. NIST provides that support by continually improving the U.S. measurement system, developing new technologies, fostering standards, and providing both the business and technical evaluation tools needed to produce quality products and organizations. Recent NIST projects have included efforts to: improve the quality and comparability of DNA microarrays -- postage-stamp-sized devices that measure the activity of specific genes; measure the efficiency and operation of non-polluting fuel cells for automobiles and optimize their performance; and develop new atom-based reference materials to allow reliable fabrication of integrated circuits with features as small as 40 nanometers.

Rightothesky, I wish I did. The tests themselfs are probably one day tests, but setting them up and getting prepared for the test is what takes the time.
Also it is my quess it will be quicker this time. We don't have to wait for money, etc.. Plus we have done it before. Even though I have no idea on time lines. I will fancy a guess for fun.
Phase 1 testing completed within one more week
Phase 2 testing finished in 1st half of July
Phase 3 tesing started in July (could be longer than one day testing)
I know this probably will not happen, but I just hope the Chinese do not disapprove this technology for b0gus reasons and try to steal the technology.
From todays PR:
Dr. Tao, who previously completed similar lab testing of AOTâ„¢ at his own laboratory at Temple University, is joined in China by STWA's Chief Financial Officer, Gregg Bigger, and STWA's Director of Operations and Program Management, Bjorn Simundson. The team is currently implementing tests with the aim of completing the first phase of CPP's certification process.
Upon receipt of Lab Certification, STWA and TDC will implement the next two phases to complete full certification. The second phase will involve Loop Pipeline Testing in which an AOTâ„¢ 1.2V unit will be deployed in a field test loop, similar to the testing STWA and the United States Department of Energy (US-DOE) conducted at the US-DOE's Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC) in Casper, Wyoming. The third phase will involve Engineering Testing in which a commercial version of the AOTâ„¢ technology will be deployed for testing on a functioning commercial pipeline in China. With completion of all three steps, STWA expects certification of AOTâ„¢.
Nice news! Phase 2 testing is the news I want to hear about. Phase 1 testing is in a Lab. Phase 2 is in the field like our little test site with the US Dept. of Energy oil field.
Well at least we know they have started.
Just checked the chart. Boy if the longs were shorting this, they would be rich! Tehehehehe LOL
If it drops back to .33 cents again, I hope I will have some extra money at that time to grab me some more too !
I wonder what the next PR will be? Probably China update? Although I would much rather hear about a contract signing!
Thanks Rightothesky, I was wondering where you were for the last week.
Zarasso, I expressed my opinion in the previous post #779. But-
being on the home page of RMOTC for almost a year now is pretty significant in my eyes, and the cherry on top is a photo of AOT is now photo of the month, they must like it as it is the second time they have had AOT as the photo of the month
Also we our test results were on Pipelines Internationals website. I think the oil companys wanted certain information from the tests and thats what I think the latest tests were about. They also tweeked the device which made it work better.
So imo (I could be wrong) we are ready to go. And are waiting on negotiations with a couple oil companys. They could need more information, or want it tested to their needs or whatever. I think we are just waiting on such, so a contract (which can take many months to complete) is just around the bend.
As far as China is concerned. I do not know how long that will take. My guess is that we could hear something about it by the end of June. But I have no idea. Also I do not trust the Chinese. I am not prejudiced, just a realist. I was married to a Chinese woman for 10 years and understand their culture quite well. We had a previous contract with the Chinese which they did not honor that had to do with the ZEF device for motorcycles. (Before Dr Tao got involved) When we 1st got the contract the PPS rose to around $4 to $5 dollars briefly. Anyways the Chinese will do almost anything for money, to not starve and get their loved ones hospital care or what not, and sometimes just for pure greed. They will steal , copy , sell items that end up poisoning people. I have seen and read about this time and time again. They were rated as the worst Country in this! We both want a good life, but i believe in having some morals about it. They should take some honor lessons from the Japanese. I know every country has some of this, but when your #1 at something bad, there is a lesson to be learned here.
Dr Tao is speaking in another Country next month and that could bring us even more potential customers.
Herb you big tease. You said you are you going back to California for as you said: "to experience some of the good things life has to offer" and "Savi here I come".
So are you going there to experience nature, good food, friends, sex and such? Or are you expecting a certain event to happen at Savi?
OK, we got incredible test results in from May. It was published on an Oil Companys webiste and released in some PR's. It was tested at the US Dept. of Energy's oil field and backed by the RTOC. So next has got to be contracts! With a 56% difference, it does not look like it needs any immediate tweeks to be sold.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH get us some contracts STWA !!!
Next Dr Tao is speaking in another Country in July. It could lead to more opportunity's simular to China, but not quite the same size.
