In two months the expected earnings has increased from -.05 to .58. The company is selling tests in India, Mexico and over 20 states that we know of. The price per share has increased from 10 to 17. Several analysts have increased their ratings to overweight, outperform and a price of 30-36/share. The company has been attacked recently with comments of improprieties by a broker that has a short position. The company is tight lipped. We are all waiting for more info. No resent sell recomendations have been published. What do you know that we don't.
i have sold my position already. I visited the Oxnard address on 9Apr19. Dieter and his wife were there and i spoke with them. They were closing down the operation at that location and moving. He stated he was not going to pursue manufacturing and going into consulting. He admitted that while the wind turbine was working and working well there was not sufficient interest in it. He said dont get out yet but I'm done. Too many better places to put my money. He said he will be making an announcement soon.
A lot seems sketchy. But the fact that many people were helped significantly by the NSS isn't and neither is the >10% institutional ownership.
IMHO, SonCav is to blame. LEXG had a business plan based on marketing the UCG in Canada. They bought property to test and show the tech to oil field prospects. SonCav is the developer. They fail to perform. They failed to get a working UCG to LEXG in a timely manner. LEXG ran out of money, had to sell assets to stop the drain and raise more money thereby diluting us again. SonCav is still testing. The UCG is not ready to market. LEXG had to choose. Repeat the past or do something to get cash coming it to keep the doors open until SonCav gets them a unit. The gamble payed off. There are modest funds to keep the doors open. Will SonCav ever get a UCG to LEXG? IDK. But, if they do, LEXG has an oil operation in Louisianna to showplace the tech to the oil world.
Im not saying what you are... yet. The building is there. Some work has occurred. I dont know why the business isnt......but at that time it wasn't. There has been a pop in the price recently. Maybe it is starting to be. I'm just saying things are moving so slow that they will need more money before revenue manifests. That will be dilutive. Take it for what it's worth.
would you please provide more details. Seems the price of the stock is responding to some news. Hard to believe its what you're talking about because Its going up!
For everyones consideration: I went by the Oxnard address the week before Thanksgiving. It was a Tues. at about 4pm. In June Sauer said he received additional funding so I thought the manufacturing would be going strong. There was no one there! NO ONE! The doors were locked. I looked in the windows. Nothing going on.
I sent him an email asking about Fago Island and the raceway. No response! There is no chance this company will not need to dilute your holdings again.
There is a big question as to the viability of this technology. I believe the tech exists but can it work 24/7 365? SonCav is the developer. LEXG was completely dependent upon SonCav until Alex entered the oil business to have the cash to survive until the UCG is ready to market......however long that takes. I believe the Canadian market still belongs to LEXG in all applications. SonCav needs to get this ball rolling!
I think it's because of the elections in November. There are many marijuana initiatives on the ballots of many states. Even Utah is voting on medical marijuana. Potential demand is very close to becoming realized demand. With demand comes acceptance. A continuance of complete change in the opinion of marijuana and acceptance of it in society.
This stock is currently 1/100+ from where it was a year and a half ago when success was being achieved. We all know the NSS represents the best acute SCI treatment available today. The Inspire study didn't fail the benefit standard in that there were numerous patients that benefited significantly. The safety standard however was not achieved. Clearly the NSS was not the obvious cause of the deaths or the FDA would not have authorized the 2.0. But any safety issues need to be figured out and that takes time to minimize risk going forward, Its not surprising we are still waiting for the first implant of 2.0. The money is available. The hospitals are still ready. Patients are available. The benefit has been clearly documented.....but so has the risk. If the numbers are correct, I am glad to see that the Institutional owner % is still quite high. 100X ROI by next summer! I know thats way too long for most of the posters on this board, You and I have been around for a long time and I still believe in the science, the inventors, and the benefit. Management is an unknown. I will stick around and see what happens, Should be plenty of trading volatility over the next year.
"The right to try", a significant point made by President Trump at the State of the Union address. Should bode well for NVIV and the NSS trials.
There will be good trading opportunities on ups and downs with each time the NSS is implanted plus the new CEO may not keep all the eggs in the NSS basket. The Neural trails for chronic SCI could be introduced and Canada who has ok'ed the cervical trials could go forward... so not so sure its dead money for 2years.
Thank you for that. We now all know what you are. And, I suspect, an egotist, self serving opportunist, with a personal vendetta.
Altruist, Egotist, or self serving opportunist? Who are you and why are you so bent on convincing us of your conclusions. I believe your conclusions are biased toward an agenda. Lets evaluate a few.
1.Dieter is not an engineer.
You may be correct. He is an entrepreneur. He does believe in Green Energy and is trying to make a difference.
2. Ana is a real estate agent. Probably true. Makes sense since they are not living off the money received from Beaufort Capital's equity purchase agreement. They are developing multiple models of VAWTs. Entrepreneurs typically struggle to get by for many years so they can accomplish their dreams and become wealthy. I have been to the 26000 sq ft Oxnard building. It exists. There was in April 2016 manufacturing inventory and a display area of various model prototypes. There are overhead costs. At that time a VAWT was being evaluated by ATA. It passed that 3rd party independent review successfully and Sauer stated in company PR that it was the first step in the certification process.
4. The ATA review and the performance numbers are fact. The capabilities, safety and reliability of the model was established which will be the basis for sales. The real world evaluation is progressing in California and Newfoundland. He believes this will lead to certification which will allow the VAWT to qualify for tax credits in the USA only.
5. The model reviewed was a 1.5kw unit. Maybe. So what. It doesnt mean a proportionally larger unit cant be built. The electrical power generator component was manufactured in China. So what. The aerodynamic blades, support structure, mounting brackets and anything else will be built in the USA. If tbis is or becomes a road block to certification then it will be addressed.
6. $30000/unit? Where was that ever published? An average solar residential installation is $13000. A 6'x4' solar panel puts out 250w. It would take around 12 solar panels and 290sqft to do what 1 VAWT can. You once said the VAWT is a nich market. It's strength is as a component of a system not a stand alone unit. The market will set the price.
Seek help? Why does your help continue to seek me? Dilusional?
Me? A person who draws different conclusions based on relatively scant information or someone who believes themself to be all knowing.
I went back and read all your posts. Your handle IBCD123 first appears in mid July 17. It is clear you believed you could pick up a quick double or more. When the PRs didnt come forth and you were wrong your posts became very negative. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR POSTS? Do you have a personal vendetta agaist the Sauers? Are you trying to drive the price down so you can enter additional positions more favorably? Very suspect that after 8 months of very limited information, coincident with the best news on positive developments, you show up and start tearing down everything most of us have been waiting for. Why? What game are you playing at our expense?
Sauer is an engineer. Is he the man to take this company to the next level? Maybe, if he chooses the right model. Right now the company is ill equipped to do anything more than build and display a few units. They don't have a team in place. That's why important things aren't getting done. They don't have communications personnel let alone marketing, management, accounting, etc.; this company consists of a few individuals at this time. How is Sauer going to take it to the next level? Will he build a team around him as sales increase? Will he sell out to a company that has the team in place. Or will he do something in-between and enter into synergistic partnerships which will accelerate the time line of success. I think the latter. I think the deal with NW Power fits this model. I think the real world display at the Willow Springs Raceway will manifest more opportunities that fit this model.
Soon the development phase will conclude. Over the next 6 mos. the Wind Cutter will be "tested" in the most harsh conditions possible. The stakes are high. They include Canadian/world certification, a possible Canadian government contract and many possibilities for PRs. How will it perform? What PRs will be presented to the world? What partnerships will be built? I think he is choosing the right model. I think he is the right man.
I think it's safe to say that the possibility this company is a scam is over. We no longer have to worry about that. Now however, the worry is about execution.
If all that is posted is true...it going to be hard to unload millions of shares.
So please enlighten me. With regard to all these scary postings, who is going to buy all the millions of shares threatening to be unloaded?
Are you positive VAWT are included in these classifications?
DITTO. I too have visited the Oxnard building. It was 4/2016. I saw inventory, one assembled VAWT, the prototype display mentioned and talked to one employee who conveyed the same sentiment. Im not suse what game a couple of posters are playing but in my opinion they are not to be trusted.

I've been following this stock for years and own a large stake. My take on all this is Controlled Growth. Dieter is an engineer. He needs to put many pieces of the puzzle together that he is not an expert at. This is the most difficult time for him. The race track and the Canadian deal are huge! Orders will be streaming in. He doesn't want to go to far to fast. The manufacturing, sales, distribution, installation, maintenance, warranty etc. all have to be established slowly so the jobs can be done right. He is all about getting everything right. Staying under the radar for the time being is essential.
The 2014 warrants had features that would have been far more dilutive had they been exercised in the future. They are now removed from the books for much less dilution, 6%. In the future, assuming the NSS is HDE approved, investors will be lining up to finance any effort desired by NVIV. Financing wont have to be dilutive to equity.
so 6.3% dilution causes a 30% drop in price?
My thoughts are that A'hole Frank Reynolds who was the CEO ousted by the new administration. In the past he started selling shares, of which he owns alot, to drive the price down. He has recently been rumored to have made an offer to takeover the company at a ridiculously low price. IMHO he is still a pain in the company's side.
yeah. The 8K did't give enough information and the market over reacted to the down side so it recovered as fears eased.
Buying opportunity
IMHO the lack of enrollments is due to something other than lack of interest. There must be some "tweaking" of the NSS that the FDA has to ok before the next enrollment and thats why enrollments are taking longer. Once they have the NSS they way they want it enrollments will take off. With 30 sites ready to proceed the last 8 enrollments could be very rapid.
In Dec "16 Sauer told us the VAWT was starting a 4 month real world evaluation. I wish he would give us an update. We are over half way through the time period.
I think every reader of this board should review your history of comments. You have been the most outspoken critic of this company. You have been consistently calling for people to stay away from this stock. Why have you change your mind? Do you really know something positive for the stock or are you just another pumper ....the kind you have been consistently railing against for years!
The beauty of this system is that it supplements solar. A mixture of solar and wind charging batteries and powering the system. Each wind rider replaces 6 solar panels and improves the chances of supplying power 24/7. I think there is good market for these units especially in areas of limited square footage.
Dec 31....778,000,000
Sauer said in his last PR that the next 4 months are real world testing. Maybe more is going on than just testing such as the selling of initial units to preferred customers that will demonstrate and get the sales going. Manufacturing, distribution, sales. installation and service are all huge and critical. This all needs to be set up right. It will take time. Better to get it right the first time. Like the old saying...measure twice cut once.
Good point. Now that the numbers have been certified...how will it compete?
Sauer says he hasn't sat still while the certification was ongoing. He says he has the manufacturing facility ready to go. He says he has negotiated $2.4 million in sales. It's disappointing that now we wait another 4 months for "real world" testing. Your correct....Why hasn't there been real world testing going on at the Oxnard address while the other certification was going on. A decision made by management for reasons that are not clear to us. Limited funds = limited capabilities. But, I visited the Oxnard address back in April and saw the inside of the 20000+ sq ft. building. That made it clear to me that this was no scam. Now the certification is complete. It would be great to see a letter from the third party saying so. I believe this is further proof that this company is legit. I think there is some concern that Trump will not support wind energy development. I believe he will. Yes, this process has taken a lot of time. This has caused mistrust. There has been much dilution. But... the $2.4 mil in sales will decrease the need for further dilution via equity sales to Beaufort. This is all great news. The PPS will show it soon enough.
Still mistrust out there. Until the money starts coming in and the company proves its ability to execute the next business phases the ppps will be volitile.
I really like the second to last paragraph..."we are debt free and ready to move".
New PR from Dieter Sauer!
Dear Friends of Sauer Energy,
It feels SO good, in part because it took SO long! But I’m delighted to report that this barrier standing in the way of manufacturing our WindCutter has just been lifted. We’ve completed a nearly year-long engineering review, and we’re now ready to move into production with confidence.
With this news, we are well prepared for the real-world testing part of the certification process, which is also monitored by a neutral third party. We plan to commence the process in early 2017 and it will continue for about four months. There will be more news on this as we near the installation.
You know what this means, don’t you? It means that our WindCutter will be the world’s first-and-only vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) in its class to be officially certified by the industry’s governing body, with first-and-only patent-pending braking system the the U.S.
Every conceivable worst-case scenario was considered: Extreme heat and cold, heavy rain and snow, near-hurricane winds and dripping-wet humidity.
We know of no other turbine in this class, anywhere, that can equal our WindCutter’s design features. And now we can turn our attention to manufacturing, with a pipeline of orders that has already reached $2.4 million. As I mentioned in my last letter, much of the pre-manufacturing work had already been completed.
International and Domestic Sales
Even before shipping a single WindCutter, our company is being talked-about in foreign markets. Islands, in particular, are very interested — we told you about them earlier this
year — and several are ready to place multiple orders. We also have groups from South & Central America and Europe, all requesting WindCutter information.
Domestically, Sauer Energy will be opening a direct sales channel to include installation and consulting. This will target direct sales to promising pre-selected markets.
R&D Innovation
We are working to expand our technology with new energy-efficient products that will give us additional revenue streams. Hundreds of hours of testing have already been completed, and further information will be coming. Our goal: More efficient wind-generated energy = lower-cost energy = greater sales for our company + a further contribution towards a safer, more sustainable planet.
Sauer’s Strategic Direction
Our company is establishing a strong reputation in the small-wind industry, even prior to shipping our first WindCutters. We have been receiving inquiries regarding strategic alliances with other companies, and I’ll just say that we have a very open mind. We’re especially interested in programs that can further our research and development.
Finally, I want to say how happy we all are to be ending this year on such a positive note. We’re debt-free — and ready to move!
All of us here at Sauer Energy — our family and team-members — send to you and your loved ones our best wishes for the coming year.
Below is our latest press release for your convenience. Enjoy!
Regards,
Dieter Sauer

Sauer Energy WindCutter Analysis Completed
OXNARD, CA--(Marketwired - November 30, 2016) - Sauer Energy Inc.® (SEI) (OTCQB: SENY), developer of the patented WindCharger® vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) and manufacturer of the patented WindRider® vertical axis wind turbine, is very excited to announce that the WindCutter has successfully completed thorough mechanical engineering review. The WindCutter has been with ATA Engineering, Inc., for the better part of a year now, undergoing operating strain gauge testing and computer model engineering finite element analysis (FEA) simulations to make sure every part of the turbine is as safe as possible.
About ATA Engineering, Inc.
ATA Engineering, Inc (ATA) is an engineering consulting firm that provides innovative solutions through test and analysis-driven design by focusing on the engineering needs of manufacturers in addressing their reliability, cost, quality, and time-to-market challenges for mechanical and aerospace systems.
ATA staff are experts in the design, testing, and analysis of complex mechanical structures. They use testing and analysis coupled with computer-aided engineering and mechanical engineering software to solve challenging problems in a wide variety of industries. Their engineering services include structural design, structural dynamic response analysis, stress analysis, thermal design and analysis, modal test, operational and qualification testing, model correlation, durability analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and vibro-acoustics. For more information about ATA, please visit www.ata-e.com
With regard to the rigorous testing and analysis that the WindCutter has been undergoing at ATA, the preliminary results are in and the WindCutter has yielded spectacular results and will likely be the first vertical axis wind turbine in its class to be certified in the United States.
ATA's Rory Davis, PhD, PE, Lead Engineer of Analysis-Driven Design and Senior Technical Advisor, stated, "The fatigue resistance of the WindCutter machine was found to be quite good, based on the results of our accurate modeling approaches and strain gage test data. No design modifications were necessary to meet IEC requirements. Models were first correlated with actual operating test data to ensure that we knew the aerodynamic blade forces well for confident design analysis. Good quality manufacturing and QA welding processes in place at SEI will ensure this high fatigue life margin is maintained."
Sauer Energy's CEO, Dieter Sauer, commented, "It is no secret that this process took a considerable amount of time and expense. There was no option but to make sure we got this right! We can offer the WindCutter with the confidence of knowing that it is safe. Now, we can realign our focus on sales and revenue reporting activities."
The WindCutter successfully met all the criteria per the International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC) Standard IEC 61400-2 for "Small Wind Turbines." It was verified by high-accuracy engineering analysis to Small Wind Turbine Class 3, which includes sustained 50-year extreme winds of up to 117 mph, as well as worst case gusts stipulated by IEC.
The Small Wind Certification Council is actually the agency that certifies turbines. By concluding this meticulous mechanical engineering review, including correlation testing, the WindCutter has fulfilled a good portion of their criteria and is well on its way.
All aspects of the WindCutter were analyzed, including the main shaft, the blades, the strut assembly that connects the blades to the main shaft and the 10m fixed pole, as well as our proprietary braking system.
This is a clear demonstration of Sauer Energy's commitment to innovation and adherence to the highest measure of quality. It has always been a primary goal to provide a safe and strong turbine.
In-house Prototype Fabrication
Sauer Energy is unique because the "think tank" and "make it a reality" departments are all under one roof. Done elsewhere, fabrication is very expensive and it takes time, but to our team it comes naturally. And naturally, it is extremely cost-effective and time-saving to do it ourselves.
All aspects and every key element was engineered and integrated from the ground up. The IEC standards were strictly followed, so as to ensure that certification would be imminent.
The WindCutter design was refined over and over, our team carefully calculating the next steps as they strived for excellence. From one to the next, the iterations improved the design and performance. Hundreds of hours were spent in prototyping and real-life testing.
Highlights
WindCutter 1.5 kW
Cut-in Speed 9 mph
Rated Power @ 11 m/s 1,500 watts
Rated RPM 175
Peak Power @ 13 m/s 2,500 watts

Manufacturing
Engineering and design supported the layout and production design completed. Technical viability and operating performance from prototyping to manufacturing has been completed, and suppliers and materials are in place.
There are already purchase orders of approximately $2.4M in the pipeline. We have the ability to manufacture to meet those demands.
About Sauer Energy Inc.
Sauer Energy Inc. is a technology developer and manufacturer focused on the emerging renewable energy market. SEI's first offering, the WindCutter, is based on the Darrieus principal and has five airfoil blades that use the principle of lift to rotate the shaft and is pole mounted.
SEI also plans to offer the patented helixical WindRider model, a vertical axis wind turbine that employs the HelixWind® technology that it purchased in 2012. The higher performance design modifications are expected to deliver superior results. The WindRider is also pole-mounted, and can be used for applications that don't require roof mounting. SEI invented and also plans to offer the WindCharger® brand turbine for a better roof-mounted solution for residential and other small building usage.
SEI's technology is remarkable as it requires so few parts. This means a lower manufacturing cost, more efficient operation, lower maintenance (fewer parts = less chance of malfunction), and greater power generation. This will provide SEI with a new direction for wind capture, making it easier to scale from residential, to powering a small community -- all the way up to large industrial facilities. The market opportunity for this new, self-contained, innovative technology is unlimited and growing rapidly.
With several patents in place and many more pending, SEI looks forward to manufacturing and commercialization. It is also aggressively moving toward a financial return on its investments. To learn more about Sauer Energy, please visit: www.SauerEnergy.com

So.. $2.4m x 10 (multiplier for future growth) ÷ 294m S/O equals PPS .08....over twice where it is now.
Yep. I really like this part of the last PR:
There are already purchase orders of approximately $2.4M in the pipeline. We have the ability to manufacture to meet those demands.
