Merry Chirstmas! Never thought I would be posting here again. Didn't know Hub posted Wanted dead or Alive pages. As a disgruntled investor I am wondering how I got into this? I guess live and learn!
When is somebody going to call for a stockholders meeting or is that even possible?
I got some FB
But I am more interested in FASC!!
Good to see the ticker twitch.
I notice that three of the images/logos are not working, and it looks like you have another for the list. SG

My dear Sunspotter,You don't pretend familiarity and yet you correct me!
It would appear that you are far more familier with that source of material than I ever have which only stengthens my point.
Purhaps a quote from a less infamous source will open your eyes.
“With this week's stock announcement likely to show a fresh decline in gasoline, it adds to market fears caused by the switch to greener fuels.”
“It is likely that we are going to see demand for heating oil rise in Europe as end-users look for alternatives to gas.”
Gerard Burg
Here is one you can quote from me. "long shots should not be taken on short considerations" SG
I see what you are saying, but!
You have said it simply, and so many times that it is almost like the following:
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it” Adolf Hitler
Here is another message from that party.
“Intellectual activity is a danger to the building of character”
Joseph Goebbels
Now if you really want to put a quote to work then here is what has been holding FASC back, but not for to much longer!
“Business confidence remains very, very fragile, and we're still in an environment where businesses are more concerned with cutting costs than with ramping up investment projects.”
Lara Rhame
Is that sunspotter again?
This must be meat on the table for him. Hear is a few quotes to stimulate a brain cell or two.
"to win without risk is to truimph without glory"

One big sellar, how many buyers?
It’s funny how I got censored for criticizing sunspotter for being a bit sadistic, and yet I never disagreed with anything he said about FASC, and the eternal optimism one reads here. I am a long as he puts it, and this really is a gamble. It’s too bad the reporting is almost nonexistent beyond the filings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
A device for comminuting raw material will be explained and thereby a method of comminuting raw material will become evident as the operation of the device is explained.
As seen in FIGS. 1 and 3, comminution device 7 has input chute 8 for raw material and an output 9 for comminuted raw material. Main body 132 of device 7 is the combination of pan 130 and lid assembly 131. Conventional forced air means or blower99 is connected to main body 132 at inlet 100. The bottom of lid assembly 131 and pan 130 form comminution chamber 10 where the comminution occurs.
Downstream of comminution chamber 10 are output 9, conventional cyclone 300 and output gate valve 301, and they, with conventional input gate valve (not shown) connected to input 8, maintain intrinsic air pressure of the system. Blower 99recycles air from cyclone 300.
Main body 132 has a central axis about which central shaft 116 turns and about which separator 200 and comminution chamber 10 are centered.
As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, deflecting cone 20 is a hollow, inverted and open cone and is disposed by struts 23, about the central axis, with apex pointing upwardly. Cone 20 is disposed centrally within the hollow of inverted, hollowfrusto-conical cone 21, creating an annulus of separation 22 for the raw material from input 8 to fall through.
At the bottom of lid assembly 131 is a metal plate to which eight shear blades 120 are rigidly disposed tangentially and equispaced from a central octagonal hub centered on the central axis. Blade 120 is disposed about 61.degree. from thehorizontal downwardly in the circular direction of rotation of chains 115 (as indicated in FIG. 4). Blade 120 (viewed from the side as shown in FIG. 3) has an inner edge 120A (proximate annulus 22) and a bottom edge 120B.
Pan 130 is hinged to one side of lid assembly 131 and is provided with sealing features so that when it is raised to meet the bottom of lid assembly 131 at their respective peripheries and secured by fasteners, an air-tight seal is created forcomminution chamber 10. Pan 130 may be opened for cleaning and replacing blades 120 and like activities. For economy of illustration, the hinging mechanism, sealing and fasteners are conventional and are not shown.
As best shown in FIG. 5, eight wall plates 125 are disposed circumferentially about the interior periphery of pan 130 to form the interior wall thereof. Each plate 125 is disposed at about 45.degree. from the horizontal bottom of pan 130. Theinterior of pan 130 is essentially circular and precisely octagonal and can be made more smoothly circular by conventional means (for example, using more and smaller wall plates). To avoid corners where raw material may lodge, plates 125 may be bevelledon their sides and top to produce a flush surface with respect to each other and the bottom of pan 130 (as shown in FIG. 11).
Nine multi-link chains 115 are conventionally secured at their respective inner ends to central shaft 116 but are otherwise loose to be rotated quickly. Chains 115 are conventional chains with thirteen 13 links, each link of about 2" long, sothat the length of a chain 115 is about 22".
Motor 25 rotates central shaft 116 through conventional belt and pulley arrangements. The chains 115 spin with tip speeds of about 500 mph, to form a spinning circular "curtain" of metal to move outwardly and accelerate the raw materials fallingthereon from annulus 22.
It has been found that nine chains 115 is a suitable number for a comminution chamber 10 dimensioned where pan 130 is about 4' in diameter and 10" in height. Generally, it has been found that the greater the number of chains, the greaterefficiency of comminution but this is subject to increased risk of entanglement of the chains when rotated.
Air is injected into device 7 through inlet 100 by blower 99, which can inject air in the order of 10,000 to 15,000 cubic feet per minute. To minimize the adverse effects of heating on the comminution process (described below), cooled air may beinjected into the flow stream or the raw material may be precooled before being inputted into the input chute 8; both being accomplished by conventional means (not shown).
Raw material is dropped into input 8 and slides down to fall centrally through annulus 22 and to be then deflected outwardly by cone 20. The raw materials are then propelled outwardly as follows. The raw materials hit the circular "curtain"formed by rotating chains 115, and are then propelled outwardly centrifugally with great acceleration towards wall plates 125 of pan 130. The raw materials vertically and violently bounce between the curtain formed by spinning chains 115 and the bottomof lid assembly 131, and also horizontally impact violently against blades 120 as they move outwardly towards wall plates 125 of pan 130. The raw materials then impact violently against the wall plates 125 of pan 130 at high speeds. These violentimpacts accomplish comminution of the raw material by shattering and similar disintegration.
Rotating chains 115 do not normally impinge on any part of comminution chamber (i.e. unless there is a collision with raw material which distorts temporarily the orbit of chains 15). Chains 115 rotate with clearance of about 2" from the bottomof pan 130, of about 1" from blades 120 and, (from the outer free tips of chains 115) of about 1" from plates 125.
Although chains 115 are shown, similar forms of agitator elements are possible (such as blades and disks with perforations and protuberances), as long as they are useful when rotated to impact violently the raw material and to propel outwardly.
The flow of air is shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, which (with the exception of FIG. 8) are simplified by omitting details not directly applicable to the illustration of a certain aspect of the air flow.
Forced air enters comminution chamber 10 from blower 99 through inlet 100. The air is then channelled into two downward flows (150 and 151) and then four flows travelling downwardly through four vertical corners equispaced about pan 130. Thefour jets of air are directed equispaced and downwardly approximately tangential to the circular assembly of wall plates 125 of pan 130, as seen in FIG. 7. Thus a fast moving "torus" or toroidal pattern of air is created within pan 130 (shown in plancross section in dotted arrow in FIG. 7 and in side cross section by the dotted circle in FIG. 11). The toroidal flow pattern dissipates approximately as follows. The air partially circles pan 130 and then rises to create a fast moving annular columnof air along upward flow lines 152 rising along the inside the side wall of lid assembly 131 which carries therewith the raw materials after impact with pan wall plates 125.
For ease of illustration and understanding, downward flow 151 will be described below but downward flow 150 will not because it is similar to flow 151 except it is on the other side of the device.
Flow 151 is channelled to flow 151 and 151A (as seen in FIGS. 7, 9, and 10). The materials, after impacting said pan 130 wall, are swept upwardly along the walls of lid assembly 131, along flow lines 152 above annulus 22 and then redirectedinwardly and downwardly by redirectional turn 110 towards annulus 22 (i.e. directed back to comminution chamber 10). Turn 110 is the upper half of a torus tube which extends about the periphery of the lid assembly 131 and operates to filter the materialas follows. Some of the heavier material descends through annulus 22 to enter comminution chamber 10 again, as represented by flow lines 153, to participate in another cycle of comminution. The lighter material (in spite of being directed downwardly byturn 110) rises towards separator 200. Some of the material does not pass through separator 200 falls down (as will be explained below) and joins the heavier material, as indicated by flow lines 153. Also, the centrifugal effect of turn 110 on thematerial also serves to move the heavier particles from the lighter particles of the material to the outside, i.e. produces a separating effect between heavier and lighter particles of the materials. The closer the inner edge of turn 110 is to annulus22 (i.e. the longer downwardly the material must travel before being able to rise), the finer the filtering effect.
As shown in FIG. 8, separator 200 separates from the raw material rising along flow lines 152 from the periphery of pan 130 which have not dropped into annulus 22. Raw material of a prescribed particle size or less move into the interior ofseparator 200 and proceed to output 9. Material whose particle size is larger than said prescribed particle size, bounce back from separator 200 and into annulus 22, as shown in flow lines 153.
As shown in FIG. 6, separator 200 is of a conventional trommel construction and includes a squirrel cage 205 which is rotated by variable speed motor 210. Cage 205 has thirty six, circumferentially spaced and equispaced vertical blades 206. Blade 206 is a 18".times.1".times.1/8" rectangular plate and each blade 206 is disposed about 5.degree. from the radial against the direction of rotation. By adjusting the speed of motor 210, the desired particle size can be obtained. The faster therotation, the finer the output particles will be emerging from separator 200 towards output 9.
Raw materials include glass, oyster and crab shells, cement clinker rock, quartz rock and wood chips. For example, cement clinker rock of 1.5" diameter has been comminuted to 500 mesh particles on two cycles through comminution chamber 10. Quartz rock of 1.5" diameter has been comminuted to 450 mesh particle on two cycles. Wood chips of size 1".times.2".times.1/4" has been comminuted to 40 mesh in one cycles and 85 mesh in two cycles. Dolomite of 3/4 inch pebbles can be continuouslyprocessed. Most of the dolomite raw material is outputted as 350 mesh powder within the first cycle. Raw materials include also waste materials (including heterogenous materials found in municipal and household garbage debris), where the comminutedresult has less moisture content than the inputted raw material.
Blades 120 are made of AR QT 350 steel. Plates 125 are made of AR QT 350 steel. The links of chain 115 are made of hard steel which does not stretch, perhaps 70 grade steel.
Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, in which the device of FIG. 11 basically corresponds to the device of FIG. 8, except that cone 20 is raised relatively and chains 115 are replaced with another structure (as will beexplained next). Otherwise, the other components are identical and for economy of description, will not be described again.
Circular cradle 350 consists of forty rigid extensions or wings 321 radially extending from the center thereof (shown in truncated form in FIG. 13). Mounted rigidly to each wing 321 is a pie-shaped stator blade 320 (two of which are shown inFIG. 13).
Cradle 350 is mounted on a platform composed of eight radially extending shoulders or webs 351. A triangular wedge 355 is placed between each shoulder 351 (one such wedge 355 is shown in FIG. 13), so as to create a shallow cone, to guide thematerial falling thereon towards the periphery of pan 130 where the toroidal flow of circulating air is (as seen in side view in FIG. 11).
Twenty impeller blades 310 are rigidly connected to forty scythe blades 315, as shown in FIG. 12, and the impeller-scythe blades assembly thereof is rotated by central shaft 16). The outer tip speed of the scythe blades 315 (i.e. proximate thewall of pan 130) is about 250 mph. The assembly rotates above the stationary stator blades 320 with a small clearance, in the order of 1/32" or less. Impeller blade 310 may be a simple wedge (as shown in side view in FIG. 12), with apex pointed in thedirection of rotation.
Mounted rigidly on the periphery of cradle 350 is upper circular skirt 330 and lower circular skirt 331. Upper skirt 330 prevents materials from escaping from the impeller-scythe blades assembly when rotating. Lower skirt 331 forces materialsdownwardly to join the toroidal pattern of air within pan 130, so as to obtain maximum speed and subsequent uplift of the column of rising air 152.
The air flow patterns are similar to those described with the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4 and will not be repeated for economy of description. One difference is the result of impeller blades 310. Instead of immediately contacting pan 130, air flow151A is sucked inwardly towards the center of the impeller-scythe blades assembly by the rotating impeller blades 310. Material is caught by flow 151A and flows through the cutting and related disintegrating activity of scythe blades 315 rotating abovestator blades 320. The raw material is then sucked upwardly with the rising column of air 152.
Except for the differences in components and air flow described above, the components, operation, air flow and general principles of the embodiment show in FIGS. 1-4 are the same as for this embodiment and are not repeated for economy ofdescription.
It has been found with this embodiment that rubber raw material in the form of tire buffings and crumb rubber, can be comminuted to fine powder of less than 300 mesh particle size.
Impeller 210 blades are made of QT 100 steel and may be about 12" long. Scythe blades 215 are made of QT 360 steel and have a cutting length of about 16". Stator blades 220 may be made of a hard metal, like nickle-cadmium alloy with 65 Rockwellhardness. Stator blades 220 have length dimensions similar to scythe blades 215.
The actual dimensions of components, the number of blades, the number of links in the chain, the number of chains, the rotational speeds, the clearances of the chains within the comminution chamber and the like of components of representativeexamples of the invention are given above. It will be appreciated that they are given merely for purposes of illustration and are not limiting in any way. The specific parameters may be varied as long as the principles are respected. For example, thedesired speed of the forced air is a function of the specific gravity of raw material and the rotational speed of chains. For another example, depending on the raw material, the number of blades and chains may be adjusted to produce optimal results.
While the principles of the invention have now been made clear in the illustrated embodiments, there will be immediately obvious to those skilled in the art, many modifications of structure, arrangements, proportions, the elements, materials andcomponents used in the practice of the invention, and otherwise, which are particularly adapted for specific environments and operational requirements without departing from those principles. The claims are therefore intended to cover and embrace suchmodifications within the limits only of the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Biggest and best market in the world for FASC!
My last post was the hottest target market ever posted on this board and you guys missed it! like blind men in a bordelo!
India is one of the poorest countries in the world and they burn just about anything for heat and cooking. The forests have all but disapeared there which is the worlds second biggest population (and growing). The Hindu don't bury thier dead they cremate 8 million people a year using five million tonnes of wood, and they are just now thinking about biomass as a fuel source (and not just for cremation!). Forget about China and Asia. India is the biggest untapped market in the world for the KDS. Labor is the cheapest you can find so they don't care much about that factor, and best of all they speak English!
I am leading you to the holy waters of corporate success, and it looks like you haven't even sniffed it. No wonder this company has taken so long to see a profit. The number one rule for success in any venture is "Know Your Market" SG
ADVANTAGES OF GASIFIER-BASED CREMATORIUMS
This is amazing! in India they are just moving to biomass cremation and they haven't even tried hooking up a energy plant to it yet. It would revolutionalize their energy needs! India is deffinately the place that needs KDS machines!
Crematorium- GENERAL ENVIRO TECH
Maybe it was that FASC pizza you ordered, and they ran out.
I live near PW in CP, and I am also a photographer. Get me in.
Curious upswing in volume today. SG
Taking it to a new/old level
I don't know who is selling at 2.85, but I think 3.0 is more realistic. With as long as this company has been around and recieved attention around the world this penny anny stuff is just centsless. At these prices it would take 500 shares to just buy a decent micro beer. Lets make that 500 shares buy at least a six pack!
Beischens Those are interesting numbers although not quite what is going on at this point. This crematorium is working in a traditional way of burning the whole body. My thought was to provide a fuel source from bio waste to initialize combustion with the deceased investors added as a supplemental feed stock. From the outside it would look the same as it is today. Of course preprocessing the body first would be more efficient, but it is troubling to the imagination.
The heat generated from the combined feedstock then could be applied to the Organic Rankin Cycling system that uses a fluid (oil) base transfer to drive the generator in a fashion that I have posted links to power point displays in the past. Automating the combustion process is simply a matter injecting the two feedstock’s at the proper time and applying a rocker system to separate the residue/fertilizer from the active combusting agents.
You have to realize that crematoriums are all over the world, and losing tens of thousands of megawatt energy in their current method of use annually. We are simply making it more efficient, and for the first time harvesting that energy.
Franklin D. Roosevelt once said; “True wealth is not a static thing. It is a living made out of the disposition of men to create and distribute the good things of life and rising standards of living.”

I am a cousin of John Adams (a first American).
My 5X great grandmother was born Anna Desire Adams. She was an American pioneer. My cousin President John Adams once spoke about power, but never in his day did he imagine the power we have today. Or that a KDS Micronex could preserve the balance of our biosphere.
"Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws."
— John Adams
By not recycling everything we missuse our power, and thus violate all his laws. God's will be done.
I think I am on a roll. Nice little upswing today!
Lets get real!
This isn't the murdering genocide of WWII, It’s a time of human population explosion. The rest of our biosphere is disappearing (going extinct) the least we can do is recycle ourselves to keep what’s left of the planet alive. We have seen this coming for a long time now, and are only just beginning to take it seriously.
Thomas Jefferson said; the earth belongs always to the living generation: they may manage it, then and what proceeds from it, as they please, during their use of it. September 6, 1789
Let’s not let our passing destroy what future generations will inherit. SG
Was our prayer just answered?
Maybe we can keep our Symbol, but be known as the First American Scientific Church for all mankind. Just think of it! a renewable energy service with a prayer and fertilizer too! How green can you get, and it looks like it is already generating interest. You know what they say. The lord works in mysterious ways!
The real beauty of this concept
Is that if we have the support of the church to overcome the growing problems of expanding cemeteries, and recycling waste to produce energy, it might just turn into a world Crusade/Jihad to save the planet. Finally something everybody can agree upon, and lets face it the church has taken a number of hits over the last decade. This could put them into the cutting edge of technology and social/environmental respectability. Bottom line it would add a prayer to FASC. SG
Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust.
Thanks beischens for the 2004 article, but I think our new Technologies such as the KDS and ORC make it more of a reality today, and a renewable energy crematorium is already happening. You could actually say you get a charge out of death, and if the residue is fertilizer you have a biospheric sustaining recycling process that produces energy and has biblical acceptability. The guy running the Sussex plant/crematorium is the Reverend Peter Mead. So how many technologies does the church get behind these days? People donate their body parts for re-use so why not the whole cadaver? Waste not want not! SG
Sussex crematoriums to generate electricity
Deffinately an emerging market for the KDS! Honestly I don't think they know what potentual their system has when combined with other processes. SG
"Peter said, cremation machine requires a very large energy. Therefore, the strategy is important recycling is to save. The energy created will be enabled to generate a generator. “That will be to supply electrical energy,” he said.
Energy recycling at the crematorium has also been initiated by city officials in Taipei, Taiwan. They plan to use the energy from the engine burning the bodies to supply electricity to the engine cooling or air conditioning. However, it is reaping from the public counter.
“I am impressed with the creative idea, but what about the grieving family. It was awful to enjoy the cold AC created by the burning of the bodies his family,” said Chuang Ruei-hsiung, a member of the local council."

Renewable energy by Biomass Crematorium.
Yup its real alright. This could just make our stock so popular people are dying to get on board. So you have a KDS Micronex producing burnable pellets from biomass (such as sewage) fed into a oven/crematorium supplemented by timed out investors, and hooked into an Organic Rankine Cycle system turbine!
Of course the by product would not have any dietary supplemental value, but could be used for any number of base substance productions. SG

Thanks James that is interesting. If I had given up on FASC I would have sold it at the end of the year to offset my gains. For some reason I have been hanging in for quite some time. SG
