To my mind, fluff pieces regarding regional AOT possibilities around the
world is much better than no news at all. Wasn't it about a year ago that QSEP went completely dark for a few months. That was truly maddening and quite scary.
The structure of these deals is EXTREMELY important as the first one will define how this business is to be transacted. Will the units be purchased or leased?. What kind of service and support contracts will be sold to guarantee optimum performance over time? Will there be royalty payments made on savings accrued?
This last aspect is the most interesting. Sure an upfront appreciation in the value of the stock if it hits 5 10 or 200 dollars per share would be great but wouldn't it be nice to be getting a 2, 5 or 10 thousand dollar dividend check every quarter from ongoing royalties forever? Will this be a truly legacy investment? It would seem to me to have the potential to be exactly that if Gregg doesn't sell us out for a quick short term gain.
The first order will be an immense, precedent setting, defining moment in the history of this investment. Gregg, take your time and get us those on-going royalties.
Druguser,
You can argue the minutia that revolves around the science of the MagCharger and the use of electronic fields to effect atomization and carburation of gasoline in internal combustion engines but the fact remains that field tests were done and the technology worked.
Earth 1 can probably pull up the data that supported that project.
Druguser,
I have thought about it and as I have a degree in Chemistry so it makes perfect sense. The size of the aerosols is determined by surface tension. If that surface tension can be reduced in an electronic field creating smaller droplets you will have a more efficient combustion QED Bro.

Article today in the NY Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/business/energy-environment/epa-truck-emission-standards.html?&hpw&rref=automobiles&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=well-region®ion=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well
Talks about recently passed bill requiring a 25% reduction in truck emissions. Sounds like the perfect storm is setting up for the re-birth
of the Mag-Charger. Remember this technology has already been proven to work in Mercedes diesel truck engines on road tracks in Germany.
Cool to think that QSEP energy will not only reduce the viscosity of the oil moving through the pipeline but also cut emissions by reducing the droplet size of the diesel fuel aerosol to produce more efficient combustion in the diesel engines that pump the oil. Nice.
Big volume today with an up-tick.
Wuz up?
Dear fellow long,
When the AOT was installed on the Trans Canada pipeline in Kansas back in July of 2014 we had visual confirmation of its existence thanks to Google earth. We also had first hand visual on the ground recon by our friend who lived close enough to the site to visit it periodically and take pictures.
Remember???
Where is the AOT in Texas? Sure Eagle Ford, KMI and all the rest but how about some coordinates so we can check google earth and see if its there?
Doesn't any of our shareholders or other interested parties live in TX close enough to drive by the site to see whats going on?
I am retired and live in Southern California. I am at the point where I am beginning to think about going to Texas myself and start asking questions and taking pictures. I've been thinking about buying a touring motorcycle anyway for cruising the Sierras but a trip to Texas might be much more interesting.
It would be helpful if anyone can provide the exact location of the AOL installation in Texas as its a pretty big state from what I hear.
This article appearing today in the LA Times talks about yet another oil train disaster this time in Oregon.
http://www.latimes.com/local/abcarian/la-me-abcarian-oil-train-20160714-snap-story.html
The key phrase in the article is that regarding oil train derailments "its
not a question of if, its a question of when".
Although its not stated the article is a very strong endorsement for expanding the oil pipeline transportation infrastructure via pipeline rather than rail line.
I'm all for this common man stuff. Vive la revolution!!
I am sorry people but some of you really do not understand sales. My guess is that a specific prospect asked Gregg to put together a piece of literature that described X, Y and Z that needed to be reworded or reformatted or whatever for their specific purpose. Gregg created the document and figured lets send it out as a press release just to keep in contact with our shareholders and followers. What I'm saying is that that press release was created for a specific customer and we were just copied on it.
Earth1, thank you for responding to my questions regarding your cleantechoil website. Its a very informative, professional, and compelling resource for anyone interested in getting some good DD on what this company's real potential might be.
Can you provide any demographics on the hits you have been receiving. Any oil companies, investment banks, big money investors Soros, Buffett, Musk,
Bezos, Koch brothers etc.? Maybe a sheik or two would be nice also.
Any info. of this kind might be quite revealing and encouraging.
Thanks,
Earth1 - Its great to hear from you again. I have always admired your knowledgeable input on this message board. Tell me, how much activity are you seeing on your Cleantech oil webpage?

I think today's news release is very positive as well. The quote :
By integrating the AOT power supply with the hardware that controls and monitors a pipeline, typically situated in a remotely located control room, AOT will provide pipeline operators with the ability to monitor and react to real-time data to gain the best possible operational inefficiencies.
shows that KMI is now trying to calculate the total value proposal of installing and more importantly operating the many AOT units that would need to be installed along a multi-mile line. The items listed in the quote above may delay the first order but it has listed value added items from QSEP for a total solution i.e greater profits. The focus has shifted from the nano/micro level to the macro total solution level. It incredibly positive to realize that we have now achieved this level of consideration.
The support and control functionalities listed above are the icing on the cake and it sounds like KMI is liking the cake big time.
My feeling is that these pipeline companies won't place an order because they are waiting/forcing QSEP to go under which will then enable them to pick up this technology for next to nothing. Business is business.
Just picked up another 20K shares at .14.
Sweet!!!!
Just wanted to post a quote from a NY Times article this morning regarding Trump's misconceptions about US trade relations with China.
Doing business in China typically requires a partnership with a Chinese company, and that often means sharing crucial intellectual property that can enable the partner to become a competitor down the road. The rules of engagement can change capriciously, especially for American and European companies, rendering major investments worthless.
Wasn't this the essence of the problems QSEP had in China? Didn't the AOT work well but it became evident that the Chinese didn't really want to buy it as much as copy and steal it. Didn't QSEP have to post 24 hr. company
reps with the AOT to guard it until it could be shipped out of the country?
Not holding my breath for a deal with China.
Armour65
That is one mighty fine list of potential projects for QSEP to be involved with. All we need is for one of those to include some AOT's and we are off to the races.
On another topic, I tend to believe that I am too idealistic to vote with my wallet but you've got to know that if Trump gets elected the Keystone XL will be approved in a matter of weeks. Hmmmmm What to do, What to do.
Love me, date me, Bifurcate me.
I think its incredibly positive that our CEO is making an effort to communicate with the shareholders on a more regular basis. Its looking like we will get updates one or two times per month. Marvelous!
Its better than back in the dark ages (last year) when it seemed like we only got two messages all year.
Its always reassuring to know that the lights are still on and our CEO is doing his job. At times, last year this important fact wasn't as evident.
Fluff or no fluff, Gregg keep telling us how good its going to be. Love hearing from you.
Zerosnoop,
I just watched the Red Chip video with the interview with Gregg. It was, of course, very positive. One thing Gregg did not mention but I am curious about is the potential for on-going royalty payments once the QSEP systems are installed on any given pipeline. I know there will be an after sale revenue stream for service and maintenance but will QSEP get a share of every dollar saved or every barrel shipped through an AOT aided pipeline? My real question is: " Does buying QSEP represent what could turn out to be a legacy investment that could generate sizable dividend
checks in perpetuity.
Its awesome that we are getting corporate information on a more regular basis. Short of an actual order or two, I think Gregg is trying to provide important factual information to demonstrate that there is compelling activity occurring and that the future for us shareholders is still bright and exciting.
First Buffett now Soros. Billionaires are buying Kinder-Morgan check out the quote from today's LA Times article.
Soros, who has been taking a generally bearish approach to the oil patch, has disclosed a Kinder Morgan stake of 50,700 shares, worth now about $887,000. Hedge fund manager Tepper's disclosed holding is about 9.5 million shares, worth about $163 million as I write on Wednesday. None of them hold a commanding stake in the company: Buffett's shares come to about 1.2% of the total outstanding and only about one-third of a percent of the $130-billion portfolio of his Berkshire Hathaway holding company.
The Buffett move has all kinds of implications.
A switch from transporting oil by rail to pipeline?
Removal of one of the biggest Keystone XL political roadblocks?
Are they aware of AOT and has it affected their decisions to invest in KMI?
Not just one but three financial luminaries investing in a pipeline company why? why? Why?
Wow. We have had more press releases in the past week than we had in all of the second half of 2015. Good news is hard to keep quiet and I expect we will be getting an increase in flow of news releases this year on the AOT. (irony intended)
Couldn't resist the prices and picked up another 25K shrs today at .135.
Liked the announcement today as well. feeling better about this whole thing again.
The 500 gorilla in the room that nobody wants to talk about is that the reason no new information has been distributed to the shareholders is that there is no new information. Nada, zero, zilch.
Gregg's got nothing. That's what scares me.
I sold everything I had the day the Keystone lease was announced. The price I got on that day was $1.28/shr. for something like 50K shrs.
Unfortunately, as it dropped I kept buying back in and granted I have many more shares but I also put new money in as well. Currently own 200K shrs.
My wife is divorcing me partially because of this investment. I didn't say that was necessarily a bad thing BTW.
My new girlfriend knows nothing about QSEP and won't know anything until
the ship finally comes in.
Another quote from the same article.
On Monday, Energy & Exploration Partners, a Fort Worth oil and gas driller, filed for Chapter 11 protection. In the bankruptcy, it listed debt of more than $1 billion owed to several service companies, including units of Schlumberger and Baker Hughes.
The article also went on to say that these companies can't stop producing and fold up shop because they need to general revenues for debt maintenance. So what we have been reading is true. If these companies can
get rid of their debt by being bought out by someone they would be profitable because they are still productive.
Sounds like Gregg's plan is making it into the NY Times. Sounds like validation to me.
From an article in the NY Times this morning.
There have already been about 40 Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings by North American oil and gas producers this year, accounting for roughly $15 billion in secured and unsecured debt. And energy experts predict more bankruptcies in 2016 if oil prices remain below $40 a barrel, or even below $50 a barrel.
When one company topples, it reverberates broadly.
Let's get bifurcating.
So me thinks I smell a timeline that predicts some event before the end of Jan. 2016. There is $556K left in cash and its predicted to last only through the end of the month.
SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN am I right?
1. An acquisition of an undervalued asset to generate cash flow. (Likely)
2. A buyout by a large oil player like KM or Haliburton (not likely).
3. An equipment sale to a company operating in either Iraq, East Africa,
Scandinavia, South East United States or KM, TC or Newfield. (Likely).
I just want the waiting to end to whatever degree. We have gone for almost a year without any news significant enough to make the stock move in any meaningful way.
So by the end of January we either have a deal of some kind or we run out of money. Pretty simple ....either The Lady or The Tiger.
I'm sorry but the way I'm reading it in the last letter to the shareholders is that there are still technology issues and my gut tells me that we would have had a deal by now if these problems either didn't exist or had been solved by now.
I believe the phenomenon of magnetic particulates accumulating at the electronic grids was seen at Keystone. There was not enough amperage and or voltage to cause an arc and short the out the system. There also was not enough amperage and or voltage from the power supply to see the desired amount of viscosity reduction if I read it right.
Before we all sing and dance, I think we still have a serious technology issue with the AOT. At Keystone the power supply wasn't powerful enough to provide the field strength necessary to reduce viscosity at a level seen in the lab. When the power was increased the oil would then act as a conductor and the system would short out. This impedance problem was seen at Keystone and also at KM. At Keystone they tried to explain it away by saying conducting materials were attracted to and accumulated at the power grids. Nothing was said about whether this was solved at Keystone and apparently it wasn't solved because again it became a problem at the Kinder site.
It was then postulated that a vertical configuration might solve the problem. It didn't.
So here's the issue. How do apply enough electric field to reduce viscosity without the oil becoming a conductor and shorting out the system.
Sounds like a big hurdle to me.
Instead of adding DRA to the oil does an insulating compound need to be added?
After reading the 10K I'm a little bit more concerned about the technology.
There was not a great deal of good news. Was there anything positive in there that I might have missed?
President Obama denies permit for Keystone Pipeline.
This sounds like the final decision even though TC tried to force a delay to get the next administration to decide which way to go.
TC is going to build a pipeline one way or another and now it looks like they will probably go West and pipe the crude to Vancouver where it can be shipped overseas. That's my guess.
The good news, if there is any, is that now the waiting is over. TC can now move ahead with their Plan B which hopefully will involve using AOT technology on the pipeline they will build going West instead of South.
The oil is going to be refined and used whether its in the US or China or somewhere else. The increase in the carbon footprint is unavoidable. The mistake is that now the world will have to hope and pray that the Chinese will produce the oil products in an environmentally safe and responsible way. Fat chance of that happening. The environmentalists just screwed the pooch by putting these global warming decisions in the hands of off shore governments instead of keeping them in the US where they could exert some influence and control.
Has trading been halted in lieu of an announcement to be made after the market closes????
Earth1, you have been a guiding light in helping us understand and appreciate the technology and its potential.
You also seem to have an inside track on whats going on in the company.
Can you give us an update regarding the on the ground installations.
1. Any news or status update on TC
2. Status update on KM. Has the vertical config been installed and does it work?
3. What is happening with JH and its eval. by Newfield out in Utah?
4. Anything happening at the SW Inst.?
5. Any visits to economically stressed oil companies that might be a sign of a possible acquisition.
4. Anything happening with the 4 proposals and your speculation on their status.
5. Anything at all that has strengthened, weakened or simply changed your outlook for QSEP.
Next to a message from Gregg, your input has been the biggest reason I've hung around with this stock. It would be great to take your temperature at this point.
Picked up another 25Kshrs this morning at $.20. Nice!!!!
Can someone please send the attached article to Warren Buffett?
http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-crude-train-safety-20151007-story.html
Having Gregg on Zeinke's Veterans Advisory Board is nothing but good.
This position will give him and QSEP more exposure on the National Stage.
We have got to believe that the "good ole boys club" that is the oil business is a bunch of flag waving, conservative, republicans that love America and everything it stands for including taking care of its injured war veterans. I'm sure many of them did a tour a duty themselves and Gregg's participation brings him closer to them.
He's not in the club yet but he's getting closer and this is a huge step
towards the acceptance of Gregg, the man and his company.
