Im sure he will.

Tao will express, reconfirm and satisfy all scientists, naysayers, industry experts, DRA executives (ha ha) and the rest of the world at how good this technology is.

Reason why is its been tested and tested and tested and tested plus verified internally and verified externally and INDEPENDENTLY.

Cat is out of the bag everyone. Get on the stwa train. Its only going on one direction.
Ohhh and for some is AOT still a fail. .he he..Looks like a major to success. Sleepless nights for some but not for us longs.

So is implied or real results from the TCP test? The megawatt usage doesn't jive with what it would take to fire up three large electric pumps and move 500k bpd.

Wow, good point.

This is a compelling argument—I mean the part about inferring from those energy savings that the flow must have been made laminar, or such savings would not have been possible in turbulent flow conditions. Intuitively that seems to make perfect sense.

... however, can we possibly get more detailed and look at the science and mathematics behind that calculation? I don't know what I don't know about this field, and my knowledge is sufficiently limited to be unable to say that I'm sure that a saving of 75% on the pumps absolutely confirms that the flow must have been turned laminar. If you know, can you break down the formulas a little and demonstrate this?

This would be an absolutely incredible other dimension to the technology. Imagine being at TransCanada and seeing the data and figuring out the implications. Your first thought would be: Holy Mackerel, how can we buy this company? Then you realise that you kind of can't, easily, given the share structure and so on... so I guess you then figure out a lease deal and try to get the best price you can, while thinking through the implications. Because if it's really this effective then it's going to be global.
