I totally disagree, it would not be adopted on day 2 that's completely a ridiculous notion. Oil companies don't work like that and I know that for a FACT. Shrimclim is correct. Companies like TransCanada have multiple departments and things sometimes have to be repeated to different departments to get them to sign off on the smallest thing. We're talking about altering a pipeline and there are rigorous approvals that have to be done. Remember we are likely talking about multiple units not just one. If and when the all the decisions have been made it's then a matter of the engineering. Look at how long it took STWA to sign and release any one of these testing contracts and you know it wasn't done quickly. Try more like close to a year. So no, it would not be adopted on day 2. No way. No how.

Sure sure sure, Pipeline Industry executives are wrong, the company is wrong, A US House Representative is wrong, a Kinder Morgan employee is wrong , an independent third party laboratory (who'e business it is to measure Rheology by the way) is wrong, A major university is wrong, and a celebrated physics scientist who is the Head of Physics at Temple University in Philadelphia ALL say the AOT works. Please. If you attended the American Physical Society's prestigious March Meeting you would know what was in Tao's presentation. Tao's 7 page white paper, THAT's where the SCIENCE is. As for wanting to see the much touted verified results, good luck with that. Everyone and their brother want to see those results but guess what, get in line. The company isn't breaking their NDA with TransCanada for anyone.

I trust a vetted presentation made at the American Physical Society by the Head of Physics at Temple University any day over anything I read on some internet message board. Whether or not that 75% stands we shall see, what we do know right now is that the most recent data from the Keystone test is a 75% reduction in pump power from Tao's presentation at the American Physical Society and this is a reputable source. Until we hear differently from the company, this is the the most data wed have to date from the TransCanada Keystone test. The company will always be more conservative. Tao doesn't have to be he can tell it like it is. He's a scientist and doesn't have shareholders to protect. These numbers in the articles out of the American physical Society seem to match up with Tao's 7 page white paper, and the RMOTC tests and the China test. So these test results are not so far fetched based on previous data.

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

Written by Anthony Capkun Friday, 27 2015

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!

The presentation was clearly covered by the APS and the various journalists who authored these pieces below. There is definitely some confusion, but it's not coming from us investors, lol.

There is a new article added to the list below in SHALE GAS INTERNATIONAL.

Tao's findings are legit, and these articles are spreading due to various journalists and publications picking up on the story from the American Physical Society. That's how science news works, it happens the exact same way with medical news ask anyone who knows. Tao in his presentation obviously gave out that 75% number.

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:

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:

STWA announces viscosity reduction system for Eagle Ford pipelines
• 19th February, 2015 •
Crude pipeline

Save The World Air, Inc. (STWA) today announced that it will shortly be commencing testing of its AOT™ (Applied Oil Technology) viscosity reduction system with a major midstream operator on a primary crude and condensate pipeline serving the Eagle Ford in South Texas.

The deployment will measure the efficacy of AOT technology to reduce the viscosity of the condensate or ultra-light crude carried by the pipeline with independent testing to be conducted by ATS RheoSystems. Testing and analysis of the data is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2015 and be completed in the second quarter.

“The opportunity to position a single-vessel AOT installation on one of the nation’s highest volume condensate lines provides an ideal proving ground for demonstrating the operational and cost efficiencies our technology can deliver,” commented Greggory Bigger, STWA’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.

“Clearly this is an important milestone in the commercialization of the industry’s first solid state technology that harnesses electricity to lower viscosity and improve the flow of a broad range of grades of crude oil.”

STWA is the developer of two types of patent-protected industrial equipment designed to deliver measurable performance improvements to crude oil pipelines.

STWA’s flagship product – AOT – improves the economics of transporting crude oil by reducing the viscosity of oil in pipelines, addressing the enormous capacity inadequacies of domestic and overseas pipeline infrastructures that were designed and constructed prior to the current worldwide surge in oil production.

STWA Joule Heat is an energy-efficient crude oil heating technology which applies an electrical field directly to oil in transit, improving flow and pipeline performance with less power and in a smaller form factor than existing trace heating solutions.

Production of condensate has surged in recent years as a by-product of the use of enhanced oil recovery techniques to extract “tight” oil and gas from shale formations throughout North America and overseas. A mixture of liquid hydrocarbons, condensates form in underground reservoirs as a result of temperature and pressure changes caused by drilling. According to the Energy Information Administration, the U.S. currently produces 1.2 million barrels of condensate daily, with output projected to reach 1.6 million barrels per day by 2018.

“The exponential growth in U.S. condensate production is contributing significantly to the energy industry’s pipeline capacity challenges, creating the potential for an immense, long-term market for AOT,” Mr. Bigger said.

“In particular, takeaway congestion is causing delays in moving crude oil southward to Gulf Coast storage facilities, refineries and offloading terminals, making this deployment both a timely and compelling demonstration of the role AOT technology can play in mitigating these bottlenecks.”

The Eagle Ford is the most active shale play in the world and currently produces over 870,000 barrels of crude oil and 220,000 barrels of condensate daily. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates the Western Gulf Basin in total holds approximately 4.1 billion barrels of recoverable oil.

“We began commercializing our AOT technology last quarter and are collaborating with various parties in substantial shale plays both in the U.S. and overseas, building out a channel for business,” Mr. Bigger stated. “We believe STWA is positioned well in the coming year to further demonstrate the ROI our technology brings to the oil field services market.”
