There was this email... DOE is not updating project as it has the other projects... Ira Bloom uses powerpoint for reports so that they can not be searched.... Something not quite right. Where is the update...

Hello Bill,

I wrote the SBV regarding the ANL testing. Here is the email string I received today. Read from the bottom up. You're a smart guy familiar with the technology. What do you think?

Regards

Julia,

I contacted the PI (Ira Bloom) and here is his update on this project:

Greg: It took a while to get the CRADA paperwork in place. The CRADA was fully executed on 4/18/2017. We received the initial samples for characterization from NEAH Power. The samples were shipped to us on 5/26/2017 and were received in June. The baseline material was characterized in terms of microstructure; these results were shared with NEAH by e-mail and discussed with them on a phone call on 7/10/2017. We continue to characterize their materials and should have more results to share with them by the end of the week. --Ira

So, it looks like things are now on track and the project is underway.

Greg

Importance: High

Greg:

During Round 2 of the Small Business Voucher Pilot program, Neah Power Systems was assigned to Argnonne National Laboratory and funds were provided for the work by DOE’s AMO program office. Following up on my call today, would you please contact the PI and let me know what the status is of this project? I need to report back to the small business ASAP.

Thank you.

Julia Kelley

Hi Julia,

Is it possible that ANL has incurred cost that they just haven’t invoiced yet? We haven’t received any invoices at all, and the beginning date for the PO was 10/27/2016.

There is a whole lot of correct and incorrect on this board and I have been on one side or another at different times.

This company is a classic "Penny Stock Model" right along with the pumpers who never have a doubt about the future of the company no matter how many setbacks and failures.

I was hinging all of my being right on the S4W partnership and then nothing happened there, oh they are still listed as a partner but S4W and Voxx have not produced any bodycams, as far as we know NEAH has not produced any batteries.

They touted the DOE grant all last year till they were awarded the grant and then they went silent till they went dark.

They were looking bad to worse.

Then a few weeks ago, one holder posted an e-mail trail of an inquiry, I thought this could be true or made up, however all the right terminology was there. The timelines were recent on any progress.

SBV showed no draws on funding granted up to july, there are always delays on POs and such.
Explanation that the CRADA ( Cooperative Research and Development Aggreement ) not completed till April 18 2017.
Samples shipped on 5/26/17 (soon after going dark)
Samples recived in June ( most likely the beginning of June from ship date)
Samples were tested according to the Bloom update reported.

At this point we could say, this is made up or believe it was true.

Then very recently a link is posted showing NEAH to be a collaborator on a Vehicle Technologies merit review. Not on the SBV Advanced Manufacturing office project as they started out.

So the Post-Test-Facility did receive samples.
Ira Bloom has seen and his group has analyzed battery samples from NEAH.

Instead of continuing on the $300,000.00 SBV project they are now on a Vehicle Technologies Office project with 3 supporting Labs, 1 to create batteries , 1 to stress the batteries and 1 to characterize the effects on the batteries.

So the questions arise:

If NEAH is a scam, why did the Post Test Facility request NEAH to collaborate on a study of Batteries for Vehicle technologies with Argonne National labs, Sandia Labs and Oak Ridge National Labs ?

This is way beyond the scope of what was in the SBV.

What did the Post test Facility see in their initial characterization that led them to include NEAH in a longer, better funded, 3 - national lab supported study ?

This is not a small business advancement project. This is a project that was created and is evaluated to advance the DOE's mission and goals.

Neah went from " Yeah we'll look at your battery and tell you where you went wrong within $300,000.00 worth of lab time; To "Hey do you want to work with us on a multi-year bigger budget project where we try to figure out how to build better vehicle batteries ?"

Argonne was not looking at NEAH's desperate dilutive financing schemes,past PRs, failed agreements or the like, all they were looking at was a Battery sample.

JMHO
