The AOT is not just a scientific breakthrough in new pipeline technology, it's a breakthrough in PHYSICS. The TransCanada test results were clearly so great they felt a need to run a SECOND TEST to verify the results. That's impressive. It worked so well they initially didn't understand what effect the AOT was having on the oil. Listen to what Dr. Tao, the Head of Physics at Temple University had to say about the test results on TransCanada's Keystone Pipeline:

Dr, Tao:

“People were amazed at the energy savings when we first tested this device. They didn’t initially understand the physics,”


said Tao.

“A second test with an independent company was arranged and found the same thing.”



I will claim success with ONE order, one order for a small amount of units ( say 10, being conservative) can easily put the stock at $5.00. And it's clear at this point with Tao giving us more color on the Keystone test with TransCanada that STWA $ZERO is getting there. We now have several data points which tell us the test with TransCanada was a blowout success. Remember that there is no way on Green Earth Tao would be putting his entire career at risk by giving out inaccurate numbers. Here are some of those data points:

In the Shareholder Update:

The TransCanada deployment has resulted in important test data and operational benchmarks far beyond any previous field trials or flow testing environments and has contributed significantly to establishing the efficacy of AOT to optimize pipeline performance as verified by STWA personnel, ATS RheoSystems and our partners at Temple University.

What did the electric field say to the oil pipeline? “I am going to pump you up!”...

Written by Anthony Capkun Friday, 27 February 2015 22:29

February 27, 2015 - “I am going to pump you up!”... The American Physical Society reports that researchers have shown a strong electric field applied to a section of the Keystone pipeline can smooth oil flow and yield pump energy savings in the range of 75%. That’s pumped up!
Traditionally, pipeline oil is heated over several miles to reduce its thickness (a.k.a. viscosity), explains the society, but this requires a large amount of energy and counter-productively increases turbulence within the flow.

In 2006, Rongjia Tao of Temple University in Pennsylvania proposed a more efficient way of improving flow rates by applying an electric field to the oil; essentially, to electrically align particles within the crude oil to reduce both viscosity and turbulence.

To test this, Tao collaborated with energy company Save The World Air Inc. to develop an applied oil technology (AOT) device that links to oil pipelines and produces an electric field along the direction of flow.

According to the society, recent trials on oil pipelines in Wyoming and China verified that crude oil particles form short chains in an electric field. These chains reduce viscosity in the direction of flow to a minimum while increasing viscosity perpendicular to the flow, which helps suppress overall turbulence.

This past summer, the society says Tao and his colleagues successfully tested the AOT device on a section of the Keystone pipeline near Wichita, Kan.

“People were amazed at the energy savings when we first tested this device. They didn’t initially understand the physics,” said Tao. “A second test with an independent company was arranged and found the same thing.”

Tests on a section of the Keystone pipeline found that the same flow rate could be achieved with a 75% reduction of pump power, from 2.8MW to 0.7MW thanks to the AOT device (which uses 720 watts).


Once aligned, the oil retained its low viscosity and turbulence for more than 11 hours before returning to its original viscosity. But the process is repeatable, and Tao and his colleagues envision AOT stations spaced along a pipeline.

(It’s worth mentioning that Tao has also shown the same technique applied with a magnetic field can reduce blood viscosity by 20% to 30%, representing a possible treatment for heart disease.)

The paper started to be written in 2013 however the American Physical Society's interview with Tao that is being picked up by all of these science publications were only just released end of February and beginning of March 2015. This interview with Dr. Tao specifies a 75% reduction in pump power on TransCanada's Keystone Pipeline which has a 500,000 BPD flow of oil. The Head of Physics at a major university would without a doubt be giving out accurate data, as it would completely ruin his career if seen as giving out false data.

We don't know ALL of the specs of the Keystone test, like the pumps power ratings, or what the full capacity is for the pumps that were used in the test. What we do know is what Tao is telling the American physical Society in his interview.

This interview was clearly given around the time Dr. Tao presented his findings to the American Physical Society's APS March Meeting 2015:

All of the very many articles being picked up by science publications. This is clearly having an impact on the world of science, physics and fluid dynamics:
