Thanks Micca.
Don't know how the confusion could have arisen!
My friends (very few) call me Keef
I call myself Keef Wivanef cos it's much easier to say.
I made a promise to Greg Watson that I would follow him all over the internet and expose his scam.
I succeeded beyond my imaginings.
Watson sucked in a major USA company which is now the subject of a court action alleging inside trading and stock manipulation.
All caused by the evil scheming of the mad professor Mr Gregory Watson.

Shareholders RIPPED OFF

Along the way I stumbled across lots of other companies running similar scams.
They are all preying on the good nature and technical naivety of "green investors"

Here is the latest BULLSHIT from Watson

GGE has placed the largest CPV industry order to date for 105 MWs of Emcore's world leading 1,000 sun concentrator cells to support our worldwide SCIG licensees and to build SunCube™ Energy Farms around the world. GGE have increased our CPV 1,000 Sun CPV receiver orders on Emcore to 215 MWs or 6.2 million 1,000 Sun CPV receivers in total.

Emcore provides the world's first 20 year CPV receiver warranty for the GGE SunCube.

SunCube™ International Group (SCIG)
With our current round of SunCube™ patenting activities shortly coming to a close, GGE will again be in the position to initiate discussions with interested parties which wish to visit GGE in beautiful Adelaide, South Australia and investigate joining the SCIG group of international SunCube™ licensees.
Licensing opportunities can include JV's, distribution, assembly, manufacturing rights or any mix.

License entry point is US$25,000 for 5 SunCubes™ installed and commissioned on the Licensees site by GGE. In addition GGE provides 1- 2 weeks of on site technical training, information transfer, local market analysis, etc to assist the new Licensee moving into the next Distribution stage.

To explain that, I'm afraid I'll have to start from the top....
Very quick version.
I saw the new SunBall, SunCube thingy back in about 2006
Oooh that sounds nice I said and placed my order.
I was so impressed that I even replied to his "positions vacant" advert on the website.
After a whole lot of excuses and BULLSHIT from Greg Watson I started my internet campaign to expose the con.
I used several nom de geuerres, dogshitontoast, keefwivanef etc etc.
I PROVED that it is a scam and uncovered a whole can of rotten maggots in the green energy industry.
Shit hit fan, many millions of dollars wiped off the share value of companies connected to Watsons scam.

Did Watson say thank you?
No I am afraid not.
What he did was to publish my real identity (gleaned from my ordering a SUNCUBE and asking if I could have a job pretty please)
His crony Brad Ross then published my life history inclding every thread that I have posted to on the MUDCAT.
That was in an attempt to silence the messenger.


Now I don't know about you guys but I think it is pretty low down dirty act for the CEO of a Gazillion dollar SCAM to dredge through all of my harmless if eccentric musings on the mudcat.

As I say so often to Mr Watson

   Legal action against Keith Leech      31-Jan-09 07:48 am   
GGE and myself personally are initiating legal action against Keith Leech (Keef, Rover, ect, ect, ect, ect.......) for libel, slander, defamation, for seeking to profit from causing GGE, the SunCube, our SCIG licensees and others a loss of income plus other claims for damages and loss.

Keith, this is not a threat. It is reality and we have more than enough proof to file both civil and criminal charges against you. Better enjoy the surfing while you can. It may be a very long time until you see the surf again.

BTW we have a LOT of money and the top trial lawyers who just love WINNING this type of action.

No Free Lunches Keith. Time to pay.

Come to think of it, we might just ask Emcore, their directors and shareholders to join / support us in this action.

If anyone, who is / was an Emcore shareholder and believes their investment in Emcore has been / was damaged by Keith Leech's unfounded comments, wishes more information about joining GGE in our Australian actions against Keith Leech, please email me.

EFFECT OF CLOUD COVER ON CPV       7-Jul-09 07:54 pm   
My friend Watson would have us believe that even in Northern European countries and Scotland! "CPV can really kick butt""

Ahem!!

Power fluctuations caused by cloud cover
Posted by: "Manu Sharma" [e-mail] saysmanu
Mon Jun 18, 2007 3:33 am (PST)
A recent Carnegie Mellon study on The Character of Power Output from Utility-Scale Photovoltaic Systems found power output fluctuations of PV systems caused by cloud cover a significant characteristic in US.

Since cloud cover affects concentrated solar power even more significantly than flat panels, it will not be an easy problem to solve. Greg has mentioned in the past the various systems he intends to put in place to address this, such as, round the clock weather monitoring and standby generators. While that may well be right path to pursue, from the complexity and the scale of the problem it appears to me that it will not be 2-3 years before we get remote generation working reliably. Excerpt from the study follows:
"The intermittency of large-scale PV power for four sites in the American southwest desert is significant, even during daylight hours. These data also imply that site diversity over a ~280 km range does not dampen PV intermittency sufficiently to eliminate the need for substantial firm power or dispatchable demand response. The high correlation between geographically dispersed arrays may indicate that high, widespread clouds are responsible for a portion of the intermittency. Observed rapid and deep fluctuations at time scales of 10 seconds to several minutes may indicate that a component of the intermittency is due to low, scattered clouds with significant opacity. We observe a number of examples of output power rising above nameplate capacity before and after deep drops in power. This may be due to focusing of sunlight around the edges of low clouds."

Greg

That's dodging the question on a technicality of wording. The point is, if you might or might not be producing 300 MW at peak time next Wednesday doesn't the grid have to have 300 MW of spinning reserve ready to cope with that ? A gas turbine or hydro could respond in time, but they have to have that infrastructure in place, fuelled up and maintained, without much opportunity to recoup costs, and hence an expensive standby option.
Greg,

That's exactly my point. Unless you have energy storage, any standby generation capacity would only sit idle at the time of clear sky. I'm also not sure how these generators would deal with intermittent supply during the cloud cover. See graphs in the paper I originally cited (username: ceicpaper, password: EnergyResearch).

Btw, I find it interesting that within two days your technology to warn grid operators of an impending cloud cover doubled its warning time from 30 minutes to 1 hour and got a name too. "Visual cloud predictive technology."

The web based history of GGE

Back in October of 2005, Greg Watson on Australias ABC 'New Inventors" program, presented a novel concept, a new form of solar generation device for a household roof, called the Sunball. According to both GGE and a moderated chat put up by the programs administrators, this device won the "People's Choice" award for 2005. At about the same time a Yahoo message board, the Sunball forum, was started. It seems with the express intent of publicizing the ongoing R&D being conducted on this new invention.

I did not join the group at this time, as I was not aware of the existence of CPV until around March of 2008, however it appears there were a number of individuals choosing to post derogatory information aimed at discrediting Greg Watson and this invention which prompted a shutdown of the forums access to historical records.

To get an idea on what independent inventors go through endeavouring to get their inventions right, consider the attempts Sir James Dyson had getting the 'bagless vacuum' cleaner fully functional. "It took Dyson 5 years and 5,127 attempts according to this site. Sir James Dyson is now a very rich man (estimated $2B US) and has become so in the last 10 years, but it did not come without a lot of hard work, time and false starts before perfecting his improvement on a product that we had taken to be already mature - the humble vacuum cleaner.

I look at the story of Green and Gold Energy and Greg Watson as having parallels to Sir James Dyson.

According to a cached version of Greg Watson's CV, it seems Mr Watson had a history of invention, some successful including inventing the PC230, sold through Watsons company 'Microbyte' which was one of the few companies to sell PC's to IBM.

Joe Cell - run your car on water

Being very interested in renewable energy and having the background knowledge to analyse new inventions as well as develop them, in April of 2006, 6 months after the Sunball had featured on Australian TV, Greg Watson started to post on a message board dedicated to a 'free energy' device designed to make a car run on water called the Joe Cell.

At the time Greg Watson had been a member of the New Energy Congress which is "a global association of experts who review the most promising new and emerging energy technologies." It seems the Joe Cell had been attracting attention by this group and Greg had thrown his hat into the ring to visit the Joe Cell developers, conduct validation of the technology, and if real and practical, report back to Peswiki (NEC) and possibly become involved or assist in the commercialization of the Joe Cell invention. According to Peswiki, the Joe Cell is an "electrolysis cell built with concentric stainless steel pipes." According to their site the following statements are attributed to Joe, one of the inventors:

    * The water in the cell is not consumed.
    * The cell runs cold to the touch.
    * It takes a period of time before the engine will run from the cell. It then has an erratic power output and works in an intermittent fashion.
    * When the cell is removed from the car, the engine takes an appreciable time to return to "normal" and run from the original fuel.
    * If the cell is left in the car for a long period, the engine becomes "charged". From this point, the cell is not required for the motor to run.
    * All spark plug leads can be removed and the engine will still run as long as the ignition coil and distributor remain functional.
    * The output of the cell does not have to be connected to the internals of the engine. A close external coupling will do.
    * The cell requires the "charging" of the water to work.
    * The requires a specific style of construction, little understood by most constructors.
    * The source of power for the cell and its use has great value for some individuals. These individuals are creating misinformation, cloaking operations and inducing fear in cell constructors.
    * Human presence can affect the operation of the cell in a positive or negative way.

Peter Stevens, owner of Rainbow Power company and developer of the Joe Cell, posted a history of the development of the Cell on Peswiki talking about their discovery. One thing which weaves a common thread throughout the history of the Joe Cell is Joe's strong religious faith, which Peter alludes to in this article "So finally when I got up to Joe's place on Friday night, Ron and Joe where into Religion in a big way" and I have also watched a video interview with Joe which details his strong beliefs. This is recommended viewing to gain an understanding of just how much of the Joe Cell concept becoming operational is dependent on 'faith'.

http://www.leechvideo.com/video/view2285070.html

Nimbin, where Rainbow Power Company is based, is a small community of around 352 people, which is in a rural setting surrounded by 'multiple occupancy'farms or according to wiki, famous for its 'hippy communes'. It is located approximately 30km North of Lismore in New South Wales, Australia.


View Larger Map

Around the start of 2006, the Joe Cell, touted as a free energy device whose developers believe will allow a car to run on water, had a number of people attempting to replicate the effects and prove this device works.

It also seems in April of 2006, around the time the validation efforts were being recommended by Greg Watson in Australia, that in the US, Bill Williams whose truck had been running on a Joe Cell according to Peswiki, had been threatened by unknown MIB (Men In Black) to destroy his plans for the device.

Back in Australia, the dialog on the message board for the Joe Cell where Greg Watson was trying to get to the heart of the matter, had started to deteriorate. Greg appeared to come to the board with an open mind and was asking valid questions, but he was beginning to be met with resistance and flames (aggression, insults etc) from other Joe Cell 'believers'. Below is a history of posts you should read to get an understanding of the dialogue which went on around this technology.

There are 829 posts when searching for Greg Watson in this MB, too many for me to plough through and certainly fully understand, so if this history of the Joe Cell is of any interest, please visit this search link.

As of January 2007, it is worth noting that any further real updates on Sterling D Allens Peswiki seemed to cease on the process of validation of the Joe Cell.

There are other sites dedicated to this device some positive and optimistic, some discrediting video's made on the Joe Cell.

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/JoesCell2/

For 15 years word of this mysterious phenomenon known as the Joe Cell and unexplained 'orgone energy', of which there are many believers, had made its rounds via word of mouth and the internet. What I can see is this:

- You can not it seems buy and have someone install a Joe Cell in your car

- You must spend your own time attempting to build your own Joe Cell, install it yourself and test it yourself.

- To do this means many hours of research and purchasing of materials

- There is also a common thread that most people cannot get this device to work, and therefore 'they have done something wrong' when building it themselves.

- The element of faith is strongly played upon - ie it may not work if you do not 'believe'

It appears that Greg Watson genuinely did attempt on multiple occasions to 'validate' the technology for the developers. Maybe he was aggressive in his approach, maybe there is something to his claims about this being less than an honest group of people promoting it, however my interest is not whether it works or not, it is what has happened elsewhere on the blogosphere that I am interested.

So let me continue.

Keith Leech

At about the same time as Greg Watson began posting on the Joe Cell pages, on 18 March 2006, Keef put up what appeared to be his first post on the mudcat forum talking about the Suncube in a very positive way.

The cost of solar voltaic panels has been stuck on about $20 per watt for about 20 years. With the cost of all other silicon based products (processors, memory etc) having improved in cost/ performance by a factor of thousands over the same period this might start to look like an energy cartel conspiracy.
An Aussie inventor has come up with an idea that gives approximately 5 times more watt hours per day than a similar priced conventional panel.
The idea uses a low cost fresnel lens to concentrate the suns rays onto a fairly small area of photocells plus an intelligent tracking mechanism to follow the sun all day. I wonder how far this idea will go before it mysteriously vanishes like so many other inventions that might upset the status quo

Over a year goes by before on 21 March of 2007 Keef posts anything further on the product.

This was a minor comment discussing the fact he has an order in. But by April 16th , less than a month later, Keef has decided to defame Greg Watson, starting with this post on the Sunball Forum (which has been disabled so I cannot track back history for this month).

Following some critical postings on Greg's suncube forum he has now
spat the dummy bigtime.
Here is the post that got up his nose.
South Australia 16th April.
Residents of the sleepy outback town of Woomera were awakened this
morning by the sound of huge numbers of low flying pigs. Car
windscreens were splattered with green manure and mounds of steaming
dung was piled metres deep over a vast area.
Residents have raised concerns that this event is connected with the
building of the new Sunpube Solar farm in the area. Inventor Greg
Watson denies this claiming that the farm emits no pollution
whatsoever and will supply the energy needs of the entire planet from
an area of less that 1 square kilometer. Said Mr Watson, "my Sunpube
technology derives its energy not only from the sun, but also from
starlight and the magnetohydribblity overunity generation effect.
There are no adverse effects on the environment and huge numbers of
local jobs have been created. Local glaziers in particular have
enjoyed a boom due to the frequent need for replacement of thousands
of glass lenses. Local youths have also benefited from the
entertainment opportunities available at the solar park. It has become
a popular gathering place for them to enjoy wholesome outdoor pursuits
including target practice and rock concerts. In fact it has become so
popular that each Saturday night hundreds of utes converge on the farm
each carrying a plentiful supply of rocks.
Mr Watson has been gratified by the public response to his generous
share offering which has allowed thousands of mum and dad investors to
grab a slice of this lucrative enterprise.
Whilst strongly denying any connection with the mysterious airborne
porcine phenomenon, Mr Watson has nonetheless offered to supply
residents with a free supply of greenwash to at least cover up the
problems.

http://www.mudcat.org/usersearch.cfm?who=Keef

It is interesting to note that Keef's original nickname, Roversbreath has connotations for what the test vehicle which the Joe Cell, a Rover V8, was going to be running on. Ie Rovers Breath. Now the discussions ramp up a notch or two with Greg Watson closing off the Sunball forum to unregulated postings and blocking historical record review, a new Yahoo MB comes into existence with the name Sungrid forum. Again with the intention of providing people a platform to discuss CPV developments and possible ways to design and construct their own solar unit, which until Greg shut it down, the Sunball forum had been doing. Here are the Sungrid Posts. Note a new character will be introduced here who goes by the nick sz and calls himself "Mr Hydrogen."

11 May 2007. - Sungrid forum begins with this post

May 12 9:45am - First SZ post – SZ talks about where some of the components to build your own Suncube can be bought.

May 12 2007 at 9:58am - Followed by an attack on Greg Watson's credibility

May 12 2007 10:19 – At least someone has the sense to see where this line of discussion is headed

May 12 2007 10:22 - Less than 30 minutes after SZ we have Keefs first negative post - "I think Greg is somewhat deranged."

May 12 2007 at 10:58 pm - Next post intended to question the design practicalities

May 13 2007 at 4:21am - And a response to Keef by SZ

13 May 2007 4:28am - So now we plant the IP patent registration doubts abround the Suncube by SZ

13 May 2007 10:47pm - Follow this up by Keef with another post

May 14 2007 8:58am - At least someone has tried to put some perspective on this issue

"A word on Greg Watson. Greg may not be a fantastic all-round businessman we all wish him to be (few inventors are), but I'd ask we give a little respect where it is due. He was the trailblazer in this area and got many of us excited about the possibilities. There is a good chance he will reconsider the marketing plan, and also a chance that we will all be able to purchase the DIY components from him, in due course. This is all my speculation, I have no concrete facts to back this up."

May 14 2007 at 10:pm - So a call for commonsense is answered by Keef with this

But every so often a genuine question is asked to maintain at least a semblance of credibility

14 May 2007 10:28pm - But then we attack other areas of the technology. Price first.

15 May 2007 6:56am - Again followed by a post from SZ with veiled threats

May 15 2007 at 8:14 am - A moment of self reflection by Keef or part of the game?

May 15 2007 8:54am - Nope, theres that competitor again casting dispersions of character

May 16 2007 12:23 am - Deserves a read. Contributes nothing but bile to the discussion.

May 16 2007 9:44am - Okay now lets attack the aesthetics.

May 16 2007 10:49am - Now lets create fear of high temperatures without any facts

May 16 2007 11:49am - And SZ fostering encouragement for negativity

May 16 2007 11:06 am - OK now what does Keef guy do? "I have been a solar hot water installer and know full well the problems of working on roofs."

May 17 2007 4:59am - OK at this stage Keef now sells solar hot water systems.

May 18 2007 10:48pm - Keef taking pride in being an agitator.

May 19 2007 2:12 am - Post by SZ proves Greg Watson has been working on CPV since at least Feb 2006, . "In the above transcript between Watson and Ricard of Sol3G in Feb.2006,"

May 19 2007 3:10am - Now that we believe we have done away with Watsons credibility lets copy the idea

May 19 2007 7:31am - Finally someone recognizes what is going on here.

May 19 2007 10:39pm - But lets blame someone else for our mistakes huh?

May 21 2007 10pm - Again shift back to what appears to be a genuine line of questioning.

May 21 2007 10:27pm - Fool people that you are genuine then post this.

May 21 2007 11:57pm - Again someone asks this guy to return to what the board is about.

May 22 2007 at 6:27am - Now remembering Keef sells hot water systems see him now advertise his wares

May 22 2007 at 11:04pm - And again

May 23 2007 10:33am - Time to try to close the sale.

May 23 2007 12:32pm - And on cue, the business SZ is in gets a mention. . "Of course the main reason for renewable energy generation is hydrogen production."

May 25 2007 12:20am - So now lets try to link a completely unrelated issue to Greg Watson

May 25 2007 7:20am - And then more seeds of doubt . And how would he know this?

May 26 2007 2am - More sales from SZ?

28 May 2007 2:35am - Lets not give up creating doubt.

28 May 2007 10:09pm - And again cast doubt and self sales

29 May 2007 10:22am. - Did they forget this is a forum discussing CPV?

Jun 3 2007 10:24am - On the attack again.

June 6 2007 11:51pm - So justification for personal attacks?

"I have myself been inconvenienced by the false promises held out by Greg and have bought a crappy Chinese wind generator plus small solar panel as a stopgap measure until my Suncube arrived in August. I was also rather disappointed that my job application (willing, qualified, eager to be a part of the Suncube venture) did not even receive a reply."

Okay let me just stop here for a minute and examine this claim. Firstly Keef DID have a solar installation business called SolarTech Genius. It was based in Lismore which is about 30km from Nimbin (remember Rainbow Power and the Joe Cell) and he did apply for a job with Greg Watson. (Note the thread has been removed but this is what Watson posted on the backshed).

To Greg Watson
I would like to purchase a 3 x3 dc output unit asap. I would prefer a 12volt model but I could get by with a 24 Volt. Please advise approximate date for availability.
I am presently living on a multiple occupancy community with 70 plus members (no mains electricity available). I have been enthusiastic about your product since the New Inventors program. I am ready to purchase a system immediately and if it lives up to expectations then you could expect multiple orders from other community members. Systems in use at present are a variety of wind generators, small flat panel solar etc and none of these are very satisfactory.
I am also interested in a position within your company, sales, technical or production. If you would like me to forward my resume please advise.

====================
So maybe Keith, now is the time to start telling the truth. BTW Emcore and all their investors know who you are. I'm sure they would like to have a private face to face with you for destroying the value of their investments with your ego gratification lies.
Maybe I should post all the very nasty emails you have send to the SA government in your attempt to destroy me, GGE and the SunCube for your own personal gain. I'm sure you do know this is a criminal activity and the internet will not protect you.
Keith as far as I'm concerned you are a sick person that needs professional help. So don't expect me to respond to you any more. It is just a waste of my time.
As for everyone else, please ask away. I'm here to clear up the mess that Keith has created.

The dates here are important.

This email application for work and ordering a Suncube was received by Greg Watson on April 25 2007.

By this time, Keef had already (April 16th) commenced a systematic series of attacks on Greg Watson. He had also claimed that the order for the Suncube was placed on 21 March 2007. "Meanwhile the SUNBALL http://www.greenandgoldenergy.com.au/ is promising to be commercially released in August. I have got my order in!"

Also being in the industry and such an expert at solar equipment, you would think Keef would have the capacity to find out which are the best products to install on his own home. Blaming someone else here did not make any sense at all to me.

We continue

June 19 2007 12:16pm - Another call for sanity.
21 June 2007 3:53am - Will Keef quit now he has an audience?
21 June 2007 5:17am - Lets get the government involved. Great way to take out a competitor. Especially as it was these guys who started the misinformation in the first place.
June 21 2007 10:03pm - At least this guy sees exactly what is going on.

26 June 2007 11:55am. - Time to fight back.
"Oh by the way, SZ, just remember I have the entire email history of how you begged me to give you the GGE license for NSW, told me I was wasting my time with the other potential NSW partners, how you went on to try to duplicate the SunCube, take away the GGE licensees and would put GGE out of business. Maybe I should go public with the entire email dialog and let the good folks here understand why you are trying to discredit me, GGE and the SunCube. To be very clear, you intentions are for your own personal financial gain."

You need to read the exchange of posts here as there are too many to post.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SunGrid/messages/718?l=1

Jun 29 2007 9:03am - And what happens when one idea is dropped in favour of a more practical and feasible alternative? (Do not forget James Dysons 5,127 attempts)

1 Jul 2007 9:00am - Finally Greg proves what he has just said about SZ.


Hey here he is:
http://www.hydrogen.asn.au/Australian-Solar-Energy.htm
This is the same guy who begged me to award him the NSW license for the
SunCube, ripped off what I gave him under NDA and has emailed me boasting of
his plans to put me out of business. Now it is clear he intends to rip off
what ever CPV knowledge that he can, including what he learns in this place,
make his SunCube clone and trade under the SunCube name.
BTW I never asked him for a cent until he visited GGE in Adelaide and was
satisfied that the SunCube did what we claimed. He never visited despite
several invitations. He had the opportunity to see for himself firsthand,
but decided for what ever reason not to do that and literally overnight
started attacking me on every forum he could get access to.
He has even created his own Yahoo forum with one member, him.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SunBox/
Recognize the handles sunut07, ineedthemula, svzmrhydrogen, etc. All the
same guy.
Greg

Again let me stop here and show you exactly what validates this comment. Remember the product is called the 'Suncube' and it is Greg Watson's invention.

So please explain this business registration.

Entity Name = Solar Hydrogen Research Pty Ltd

Trading Name = Suncube Solar Systems Australia

Company Solar Hydrogen Research owned by Stephen Zorbas according to his website

Note the date of business registration, February 2007 precedes the initial attacks on the Sunball forum and Mudcat forum by both Keith Leech and Stephen Zorbas.

July 3 2007 10:47pm - Luckily some people understand which story is the honest one.

You will note and Greg has said it many times, he has not asked for a cent from any investor. He has claimed to have signed licence agreements and presumably received fees from licensees but I
cannot believe that, with the sums involved, licensees have not carried out due diligence to ensure the technology works and have secured their investments with watertight legal agreements.

July 11 2007 11:46pm - And now modus operandi. When people tire of this relentless criticism and personal attacks and the poster is banned. Create another handle.

15 July 2007 10:37pm - So Greg tries to get the CPV board back on track by helping with useful information.

And again on 14 Sep 2007 at 12:20am

Oct 22 2007 8:49pm - Keef starts to lose it

24 October 2007 8:28am - So now we must see to believe.

24 October 2007 8:28pm - OK more I don't believe anything you say stuff.

Oct 24 2007 11:16pm - And a response

Ok please look at the remaining posts yourself. The next angle which Keef tries to convince people of is some invention called the SMOT (remember this for later on) over-unity device which Greg Watson had invented, was a complete scam. This is despite Greg Watson already figuring out it did not work as well as he thought so he refunded all monies to any one who had purchased the device. Besides it was called a Toy for a reason, I guess. This board goes on and on with Keef trying to convince people Greg Watson is a con-man and selectively posts other correspondence Greg has written.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SunGrid/messages/965?l=1

OK its time to fast forward to earlier this year when Citron research chose to do a number of pieces on Emcore basing their main argument of credibility on Emcore by questioning the GGE contracts.

Firstly on March 18 Citron started with this which was predicated on someone elses hearsay about GGE.
Citron Research Shines some daylight on Emcores solar business
Followed up on 25 March
Citron Research Updates Emcore (NASDAQ:EMKR)

Keith Leech claims responsibility in this post on Mudcat a day after Lefts original article, post on March 25 on the Yahoo MB.
Citron Research then chose to do a few more articles on Emcore with GGE's licencees credibility as their main argument.
April 14 - Citron Exposes the 3 Way scheme Behind Emcore
May 21 – More Explanation of the Fraud at Emcore
June 4 – Emcore to become the Largest Solar Provider in Fantasyland
September 9 – Emcore – Nothing plus nothing = nothing

You really have to wonder how much effort Citron put into their research particularly reading exchanges like this as well.

Again it is time to stop here and examine a few of the claims which has led so many being convinced to dismiss GGE so easily.

According to GGE's website, its SunCube International Group (SCIG) partners are ES Systems , AC Gava , Square Engineering , Zolar Distributors and Solar Ace from Israel who are still in stealth mode.

Who is Square Engineering?

The key comes down to this post from Shraddha Constructions on the Energy blog.

If you look at the sign posted on the GGE website as the Suncube facility in India was being built, you will see the registered office of Square Engineering as Shraddha House.

So who are Shraddha Constructions which have the same registered address as Square Engineering?

Well firstly they have a contract to build a 21.25MW wind farm.

They also have a contract to build a USD$18.75M SOLAR project at Latur.

Latur have done quite extensive studies into CPV as per this document. Other Links

And note the addresses of Shraddha Power Generation and Square Engineering are the same.

ES Systems
I will not go into too much detail here apart from posting links to Druberts research into this company again.

Post on ES Systems

ES system was the former ATS solar - See page 59, same address, same company.

ATS solar was established 2002/2003. See http://www.iea-pvps.org/ar/ar04/kor.htm : "In 2003, five companies including one that started its operation at the end of 2002, produced about 2.29 MW of PV modules. This nearly tripled the previous year's production figure. This remarkable expansion of PV module production was due to the newly established company ATS Solar Co. This company produced about 1.4 MW PV modules with a production capacity of 3.0 MW. This production line is the largest one in Korea."

Or visit an old version of their website before they went quiet to develop this new technology.

AC Gava

AC Gava have, until recently, been somewhat quiet about their developing CPV product lines. Aside from some information early on indicating an association with Sialsol there was little to go on. Although they had apparently responded to one of the investors of Emcore after a very short time.

But most recently, AC Gava have posted additional information on their website with one photograph showing a significant array integrated with standard flat plate technology of identical area. This is significant as if they have been able to collect comparitive operational data in this way, advantages or disadvantages of CPV vs Silicon PV will be able to be directly correlated and presented to prospective customers. In addition to this, Sialsol Inversiones Sostensibles, the distributor and investment partner with AC Gava, have been present at a number of CPV and CSP trade shows. In Madrid, Madrid, Seville, and will be attending in February in San Diego.

Keefs endgame

A few weeks ago, I posted a number of rather innocuous posts which Keef took the opportunity to try to attack my credibility. Of course this did not bother me as I trust the people that read whatever I post will make their own determination of where the truth lies. But unfortunately for Keef, it prompted me to reassess Keef's MO and to try to figure out what his endgame is. My posts are here Post 1 Post 2 Post 3 Post 4

As Keef has used Greg Watson's posts on message boards to attack his credibility, I could not understand why, with all the messages and history Greg had with the Joe Cell (and which some would consider a genuine scam), apart from one time, Keef has NEVER used anything from the Joe Cell MB. And there is a lot there as I have demonstrated above.

So this got me thinking that as I knew Keef had a business in the Lismore area, the Joe Cell inventors lived in Nimbin and Keef also lived on a commune, that maybe there is something there.

Remember this comment?
I am presently living on a multiple occupancy community with 70 plus members (no mains electricity available).
So a little more digging was in order.

First of all Keef did have a solar business, which was registered as Solartech Genius. After performing a Google search on solartechgenius two documents come to light indicating the business did in fact have a website. Solar Hot Water and Winter SunFact Sheet. Tracing back the way back machine we find the following pages:

Main page with Keith's email address

Some detail on the product range

It seems though in February of 2005, the companies main product supplier, Solco from Western Australia was acquired by another party and the distributorship for NSW was no longer an exclusive arrangement.

A very unfortunate occurrence, however a business one.

From here I guess Mr Leech began looking for alternative means of income.

Being within a short distance from Nimbin and living in a multiple occupancy community as exists almost exclusively in Nimbin, and having worked in the solar field and keen to continue to do so, it is not too great a stretch of the imagination to suggest that Keith may have known of the Rainbow Power Company, their Joe Cell invention and Solar business and been in contact with them.

So the next search then is on Leech and the Joe Cell and a very interesting hit came up. It seems a guy by the name of Andrew Leech from Floppy Sponge Automation had at some stage sent an email to Sterling (remember PesWiki, New Energy Congress) indicating an interest in the Joe Cell technology.

Andrew Leech (Reporter): Suspicious Deaths of Inventors in Australia

Hello, I'm Andrew Leech from Floppy Sponge Automation in Melbourne, Australia. I've been a keen experimenter in a number of energy areas for some time now, both privately and through FSA.
I'm especially interested in the Joe Cell and could help in a setting up a reliable demonstration model of the Proton Cell variant as well as helping to spread and promote the technology... [Deleted]...

I personally believe if we can have development undertaken relatively quietly through supportive channels such as PES Network, and produce a number of engines running this way privately, then distribute them quietly aver a large area (Colin at FSA has numerous contacts right across Australia, Malaysia and Taiwan), when it is announced publicly it will already be out there too widely to be hushed up. I've heard reliable confirmations of suspicious deaths on inventors in Australia, so don't want to take the threat lightly. If we can have a large group of replications all announced simultaneously we have a chance of getting around that threat... [Deleted]...

Maybe an innocent post. But take note of the suggestion to Sterling to develop this Joe Cell technology with FSA and Peswiki "quietly" so no one knows what is going on. Also if we go back even further, we see Andrew and Floppy Sponge Automation have been doing some experiments with over-unity devices for the past few years, as well as working on hydrogen based ideas looking for 'free energy'. Here is a link to the relevant posts as otherwise you have to subscribe. I would suggest this is where a lot of the ideas for the attacks on Greg Watsons credibility originated.

So who are floppyspongeonline.com?

Seems they have been purchased by Sunseeker Energy from Hong Kong.

The registration of the Sunseekerenergy site comes up with these details.

I actually visited this address only a few days before Christmas to see if the Google streetview had changed or was out of date. Well it has not, this is exactly how the shop looks. Standing out the front were two guys in business attire who waited for about 10 minutes for another guy dressed in black casual clothes to come and let them in the building. As the front window is one way mirror, you cannot see what is going on inside, but it did seem awfully cloak and dagger as the two business guys did seem a little jumpy as I walked past.

So what is Sunseekerenergy? It seems they have an amazing new solar technology (Not the Joe Cell nor Overunity devices).

"Sunseeker has succeeded in magnifying the sun's energy onto a radically smaller, non-silicon photovoltaic cell. The combination of parabolic collector and inbuilt computerised sun tracking maximises solar energy collection in an active area less than one third of our flat panel competitors."

And their business model is to licence the technology out. You know like Green and Gold Energy. Now remember SZ had access to Greg Watson's preliminary design, business model and Non-Disclosure Agreement. And as there had been no definitive and certainly no professional contact between GGE and Keith Leech, how then did he come across this document as he posted here for the world to see?

Or even Keef's continual claims of Greg Watson being in this for the money seem to ring a little hollow when you read the MOU for the JV on the Suncube. Any Licencee by investing money in the enterprise also owns a stake in the master company and will eventually take control over from Greg Watson. Again how, if the only two-way dialog between Keith Leech and GW has been argumentative, did Keef obtain this documentation?

To gain an understanding of just how persistent these attacks are, you should consider the raft of ID's Keith Leech and what appear to be his co-conspirators have adopted. Try Madprofessor78, Raving Looney, Keefwivanef, Pigsarse, Blind.freddie, Keefballsofsteel, Roversbreath, Artu.Deetu, Inspectorrex, Nurseratchit, Psychowacker, Wackobananas, Gerryknight, Sickofthiscrap, Greedygoldenergy, Ener-curious – possibly SZ, harrytrotter, wizardsolar, Handy.Ghandi, WatsonPinnocio, Ivorbigone, Majorjohnthomas, Franklin.furter, Rocketsurgeon, Jose_Gava, Thedonkeydonald, Jamespark15, SenatorJoe, Nurseratchit, Nurseratdropping, Shonkeybusiness, totalgibberish. Quite a list for someone claiming to simply just trying to be honest and protecting 'innocent' investors by 'exposing' Greg Watson.

At this point I need to tell you I found myself with a personal dilemma. We have Stephen Zorbas who tells us he knows a fair bit about hydrogen and appears to have done some good work in the past (although it is mostly self promotion), an automation company based in Melbourne who at first look may have the capacity to roll this technology out and become a customer of Emcore and Andrew Leech who from his myspace page looks like he is smart, young and keen to take on the world and make a go of CPV technology.

So before doing anything, I decided to look a bit more at Sunseeker Energy, who they are, how legitimate their business is, how ethical or trustworthy they may be (despite the tactics above) and where are they going.

Firstly they are listing on the NZ stock exchange.

Secondly their corporate office is listed as Hong Kong with a telephone number of (852) 3188 5944

When I Googled the telephone number, I came up with another interesting hit of a company registered with the same address as Sunseekerenergy called Fieldway International Ltd.

This company promotes itself as offering Premium Socially Responsible Investment Opportunities. So maybe they might be OK?

So who are the owners of this company?

Bill Price is the President with businesses mainly based in the Phillipines.

So what else does Bill do?

Seems as well as 'socially responsible investment facilities', Bill also runs Sovereign Star international.

Sovereign Star International (SS) is a newly incorporated Hong Kong based company created for the sole purpose of identifying, purchasing, developing and operating gaming properties and facilities throughout South East Asia.

Also its General Manager, Graeme Green, is managing director of a recently delisted 'penny stock' on the Australian Stock Exchange called EC21 or ECSI Limited.

This has left me in a unenviable position, as we now have a company which on the surface looked like it was trying to do the right thing and yet by digging a little deeper, other business ventures directly contradict the humanitarian aims of the Fieldway International site. Certainly an environmental consciousness is something to be applauded, however is it not hypocritical when considering they are also actively engaged in the casino and gaming industry in developing nations as well as having what appear to be less than fully legitimate concern's listed on the ASX?

Further, how ethical is it to defame anothers reputation, the real inventor of the Suncube, some would consider an eccentric (but no more so than Sir James Dyson and his 5,127 bagless vacuum cleaner designs), steal his idea, and then proceed to endeavour to destroy him and a company such as Emcore who have no part of this? And how big a role has Citron Research played in all of this?

When one considers exactly who the players in this game of cat and mouse are, to do with a revolutionary or as the CPV Consortium likes to call it "Disruptive" solar technology, it must be something real for such effort to be put in to trying to discredit GGE and Emcore. The Joe Cell people, if they are involved in this, have had 15 years of trying to convince people their technology is real so they know all the angles. Which to me could explain why they have been so successful in convincing so many people that this is a scam if the master scammers are telling the tale.

Keef claims he has been trying to warn prospective investors of the dangers, but it certainly looks like the people Keef is associated with that appear to be unethical, dishonest, sneaky, money hungry or to sum it up 'scammers'. But there was one post that sealed the deal for me and it was this one directed at a woman by Keef.

Keef threatening a woman

tell me where you live, I come around there and bash the crap out of you. That's how it works. Have a nice Christmas.

In my opinion, those people investing in Emcore and Emcore itself are the innocent victims here, along with Greg Watson, who did nothing more than to try and spread the news and excitement about a genuine invention, which does in fact look like it will provide us with cheaper solar electricity in the long run.

Finally to ensure the correct people address this and properly investigate precisely what has been occurring, I have directed this in an email to the office of Anthony Albanese. Anthony is the current Australian Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, who back in January 2006 expressed support for the SunCube and frustration at the Howard governments lack of support for a renewable company in Australia.

And why did I post this at all instead of keeping quiet? Well would I trust anyone with my money who sold a possible fantasy product (Joe Cell) to people for 15 years, found out about a new solar technology, proceeded to steal it then destroy the reputation of the guy who had invented it. As well as attacking the company at the forefront of its scientific and commercial development. No way known would I trust a cent of my money to these people as they do not appear to have any ethics at all just know how to run what appears to be a complex scam.

But the main reason was in these circumstances, the end does not justify the means. And I am personally sick of a world where this is the case. Its time the 'good guys' won for a while.

"...have set up showpiece "solar farms" complete with hidden batteries to dupe the innocent." ~ Keith Leech

The rays of the Sun only fall in given area for about half a day, and solar enery output is greatly reduced by cloudy weather.

Since a house needs electricity 24 hours a day, batteries (or some other method of energy storage) is needed. Hence the "hidden batteries" are not a sure sign of a scam.

From: GUEST,Keef

Yes, I know all about batteries, I am running off solar power as we speak.
The scam is where a demonstration day is set up and the investors are told that the bank of lights, radio etc is running ENTIRELY off solar power.
In truth, what is happening is that the batteries are being run down because the "new gee whizz please invest now" solar thingie does not produce anywhere near the claimed output.
Yes, I do have time on my hands, and I am happy to spend it exposing the fraudsters.
Australia is the world leader in these scams because our regulators will not act until it is too late.

Hot off the SUBALLS FORUM

Hi All,

GGE has initiated the process of discussion with various Australian and
overseas electricity retailers, electricity distribution businesses, state
and local governments to enable a roll out of small 10 kW to 30 kW SunCube
Energy Farms (SEF) that will be investor owned.

Due to the small size and small land foot print it is envisioned that quite
a lot will be build as embedded SEFs deep inside residential and commercial
precincts to assist peak summer time load reduction as an added benefit to
the distribution grid owner.

We are working on an investment prospectus which will target a 20% ROI per
year, for 20 years.

Greg has announced ~$78 million worth of orders placed with Emcore, but Emcore has only received $500,000 through the end of the 2008 1st quarter. These "orders" appear to be vapor, much like some of the huge telecom orders in 1999-2001 like the $500 million order in 2000 for Sun servers that Enron's telecom unit placed but never actually purchased. The lack of actual sales from this order was a major factor behind Emcore's stock crashing ~75% in the past several months.

He has sold several licenses but where are the working units (even pilot production ones) in verifiable installations with any independent measurement data validating output claims? The Korean deal was announced over a year ago but there remains no evidence that anything has actually materialized or that any product is actually being delivered, even in limited volumes.

Looking good (on paper) is not enough. Given the large number of red flags discovered to date while doing due diligence on Green and Gold Energy, we have to verify every detail.

I am downgrading my vote on Green & Gold Energy Suncubes from a Top 2 ranking to "Not Enough Information". I am increasingly suspecting that the SunCube is a fraud.

There is absolutely no proof that there is a single suncube actually installed and running. Likewise, there is no verifiable proof that their system delivers the output claimed. None of the licensees have manufactured, installed, or sold a single system. The U.S. licensee remains secret and undisclosed. Multiple deadlines have past. The product remains intriguing vaporware.

The company's employees have lied to me on several occassions (statements independently verified as being false). I read through the last four months worth of postings on the yahoo sungrid forum about the SunCubes.

Greg Watson is now claiming that his "legal people" will not let him sell Suncubes until he gets the IEC 61208 solar concentrator certification (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SunGr... . However, there is no IEC standard yet, the working group has not delivered a final standard despite seven years of meetings and work, there will not be a standard for another 12-18+ months (with continuing uncertainty about how to actually measure concentrator output given the myriad design and concentration approaches and uses of tracking on one or two axis being a major barrier to radification), there will be no products certified under this standard for another 6-12 months after the final standard is approved, and both UL and the California Energy Commission have decided to take an alternate certification route (UL engineering inspection) as an alternative given the long gap (something that Greg has known since I informed him of this alternative in September 2007).

This [is the] latest excuse from Greg. He has a long history of failing to deliver on promises and claims.

But then Greg Watson had a word in his ear!!

Andrew,

The SunCube technology is viable and their design is very solid. The basic concept is to have a module with one square meter of collection area feeding the light to nine fresnel lenses that focus the light on nine Emcore tripple junction 37% efficiency CPV chips. This module is then integrated with a two axis tracking system. Some of the advantages of this design is that they can be mounted on roofs, the weight is low (about the same as a flat plate monocrystalline or polycrystalline module), it can be handled and installed without cranes, it doesn't have the wind load problems that larger arrays (e.g. Solfocus; any array 2KW to 11KW on a 2 axis tracker - a big PV sail), and it should be relatively easy to mass manufacture.

I read your reports on Emcore. You made a misstatement in one about their tripple junction CPV chips being 100X more expensive than standard PV. This is true when comparing their space applications to terrestrial flat plate pv at one sun concentration (e.g. no concentration) . However, this is only true when comparing a unit of size (e.g. one square meter of Emcore's tripple junction cells vs one square meter of Sunpower A300 cells). When one accounts for concentration, the costs drop dramatically. The SunCubes operate at ~1100 suns. Other competitors using the same Emcore CPV chips are using them at concentrations between 500X and 1200X. Essentially, these applications use a chip 1 square centimeter in size but that one chip harvests the power of 1 square foot worth of sunlight at 37% efficiency. Going back to the one square meter of Emcore's tripple junction cells vs one square meter of Sunpower A300 cells example, the one square meter of Emcore cells operating at 1100 suns generates ~300,000 watts of power while the 1 square meter of Sunpower's monocrystalline cells (SunPower 305 module) operating without concentration generates 187 watts of power. The Emcore chips use significantly less silicon per watt of power output and use inexpensive fresnel lens or reflective materials to focus the light from a large area onto their

I cannot discuss commercial size orders at this time but I am in the process of scheduling trips to Australia and South Korea to meet with Green and Gold Energy and their Korean licensee, ES Systems, in the next month or two. A colleague will be visiting their Indian licensee in Pune India as well. I would prefer to withold any further comments until I have had the chance to complete these visits. In addition, there are a lot of positive developments and progress here that are not publicly available at this time.

I have reviewed and talked with every CPV player that has a realistic chance of shipping product in the next two years and plenty more that are further behind. Green and Gold Energy and their licensees are significantly further ahead everyone else in this industry and will ship more product this year than the rest of the industry combined.

I think it is time for a character reference for Greg Watson!!
Dear Keef, im a late comer in this fiasco, people keep coming to me with information regards Mr Watson, and i have a personal grudge with him. He tried to scam me for a lot of money, well over 100 thousand dollars. I was warned about him from an associate of his. I have found Greg to be a liar and a cheat, and i am totally aware that he manipulates the media and people to gain a financial advantage. I know that the lady he is living with at the moment has gone into major debt on her home because of him, and she is not the first. I also know of many other people, such a Michael Sullivan who has invested personally $150 thousand dollars. I know of other people investing funds of $80 thousand, $50 thousand, and $20 thousand. I remember Greg telling me that he arranged a huge grant with the Minister of Transport of taxpayers funds. I have also been told that Greg has been spending money for himself and his new family including friends for overseas holidays. I also know that while this was going on they were claiming Centerlink payments at the time. I undersand that there was an office manager called Phil who got the sack because he was going to expose Greg for fraudulent mismanagement and deceit to the investors. I want you to keep in mind that what i am saying i believe to be the truth, and it is only heresay.. This is not considered to be evidence, except i have a list of peoples names who have given me this information. You must understand Gregs nature, he is not a man who will take up a job, he lives off other people being naive and gullible.

Going back to Emcore, i think they did believe in Greg to start with, i can't understand how they managed to get 500 thousand dollars out of him, but i feel that this may not be true and that Emcore saw this as an opportunity to manipulate the share market. In actual fact by portraying to the small investors that is the "Mums and Dads" of this world, that they would have seen this as an opportunity to manipulate their shares where the directors have benefitted greatly. The questions you should be asking are firstly What happened to the profits that the company would have recieved by the manipulation of the value of the stocks. Secondly how the directors have benefitted through this, and i recently noticed by reading some of the background that Emcore want to split the company into three divisions now. I would think that the reason behind this would be to keep them, the directors at arm's length, let that part of the company go bankrupt with all the "Mum's and Dad's" losing all their money, while the directors sit on some Carribean Island.

Furthermore, Suncube is not Greg's first scam, and I strongly feel that the media should be held accountable as it is this that has done the greatest damage. I mean that the Suncube has not worked to date, it is an item that requires something like 500 dollars to build. So why is it that all this amount of money is required for investment when the cube has yet to be proven whether it works. My understanding is that the idea has been pinched off somebody else, the same as some of his other scams. Why would you need to rent big factories, rave on about all the people you are going to hire, how you are going to dominate the world in solar energy, it certainly sounds like something smells here. You could have built the cube in your home for a few bucks, and show that it works, and does the job. As far as i know this scam alone has been going on for five years, and to date he still has not managed to prove that it works, but people keep handing their money over to him.

I am surprised that Current Affairs haven't got hold of this story as yet, so as to warn the public.

Most (if not all) wavepower companies are nothing but a scam. They simply claim to have invented a wave widget which is almost ready for "commercialization" then launch a stock market IPO. Directors pay themselves million dollar salaries plus stock options then make excuses year after year for non delivery on their exaggerated claims of "Power 24/7 at lower than fossil fuel prices. Have a look at the history of OPTT (the main contender for the Portland project and the government handout that goes with it). They have NEVER delivered on a project. CEO George W Taylor (who claims to hold THREE Doctorates!!) has been paying himself millions of dollars a year for 25 years on the fantasy that his silly PowerBuoy can provide reliable and economic power. OPTT have NEVER delivered on a project. The only income the company derives is from government funded feasibility studies. In Cornwall and Scotland the wave hubs are ready and waiting, the government has paid for the PowerBuoys but OPTT are not quite ready....the PB40 was only a Prototype...here comes PB150...need more time...PB500 coming real soon... http://web.archive.org/web/*/http ://www.oceanpowertechnologies.com /
Posted by Keef Wivanef, 10/10/2010 3:37:08 PM, on The Warrnambool Standard

NO, OF COURSE THEY WOULDN'T!

IN LATE 2009, Energy Minister Martin Ferguson shocked analysts by awarding a $66 million grant to a little-known wave power project off the south-west coast of Victoria.
The US-based Ocean Power Technologies - touting a relationship with Leighton Holdings - beat their more fancied wave-power competitors to the money with a proposal to build a 19-megawatt development near Portland.
Two years on and there is no physical evidence of the project in Victorian waters, leaving clean energy proponents, including defeated rivals, wondering whether it has been a gamble that will not pay off.

In an interview with The Saturday Age, Ocean Power's directors say that despite the naysayers (SHUT UP KEEF) they have made quiet progress. And early next year they want to begin laying cables and putting the first of their ''power buoy'' generation units into the ocean, ready to produce renewable energy.
The director of Ocean Power's Australian arm, Gilbert George, said initial delays occurred during lengthy discussion over the conditions and the contract for the grant.
''It is new technology and the federal government, I think quite rightly, wanted to be conservative, it's taxpayers' money,'' Mr George said.
He said the government also set a major condition for the grant: a demonstration of the latest power buoy design. The company met this requirement in Scotland last year.
Australian-born George Taylor - Ocean Power's founder and executive chairman - said that since winning the grant a technical report had also been ticked off federally on the potential energy per wave at the Portland site.
Ocean Power recently hired Keith Bowyer as managing director of the Portland project. They are preparing to seek environmental permits and have been meeting potential investors.
Dr Taylor said the company had spent time honing its technology, with systems in the water going back to 1997. He also pointed to grants Ocean Power had received from the US departments of Energy and Defence to help develop projects in Hawaii and Oregon.
In the past, questions have dogged Ocean Power about its performance. In 2008, its then British house broker Collins Stewart complained in The Times of London of the company ''displaying a total inability to deliver''.

More GREEN WIDGETS!

Here is another CPV Widget company that trousered $20M from Kiwi investors and considerably more from investors around the world..

Geoffrey Taylor was the founding chairman - and he and his family were major shareholders - of Sunseeker Energy (Australasia), a solar energy company that traded on the secondary sharemarket in New Zealand. At its height, the company - whose chief executive was McAskill, the Melbourne businessman sentenced to six months' jail in 2003 - was valued at $NZ18 million and it had a number of related entities. They included Sunseeker Energy (Australia) that operated from Melbourne and the Swiss-registered Sunseeker Energy Holding AG that operated out of Hong Kong, but was listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange in 2009 at a purported 1 billion euros.
In April last year, New Zealand authorities cancelled the public listing of Sunseeker Energy (Australasia) for what it described as ''repeated infringement of the rules'', its ''failure to provide any information to the NZAX market regarding its business or operations'' and the firm's ''own admission … that it is insolvent''.

Mr James Kwok is the inventor/technologist of numerous world patents pending including vortexodial turbine for wind energy; vortexodial turbine for wave energy; PortalGen and Solar-Prism for solar PV. James Kwok has been granted with nine Innovation Patents 2004100467-475, all with multiple commercial applications for various mechanical-components and systems used in low-emissions coal gasification plants and Fluidised Bed Combustion (FBC) Reactors. James Kwok holds the granted Patents for the commercially ready technology, hydrodynamic-cycle for deep water pressure energy conversion technology (Hidro+™). In 2008 Professor Ion Boldea of Politehnica University, Romania joined as a co-developer in Hidro+'s multi-module tower linear electric generator (MTLEG) technology, currently world patent pending the Hidro+ MTLEG is a joint patent between James Kwok and Professor Ion Boldea.

Sounds nice Jimmy
Why don"t you tell us a bit more about yourself?

The Hidro+ device is now being promoted through multiple companies, including Centium Electric (ASX) in Australia and Renewable Utilities UK in the UK. Online filing with ASX show that Centium has AU$200,000 in working capital and seems to be active recently. The site sharescene has an interesting thread on this company, and is numerous names which include Village Life Ltd (VLL), Fig Tree Developments (FTD), FTD Corporation (FTD) and most recently Centium Electric Limited (CUI).

National Consumers League's Fraud Center (on-line complaint form) Federal Trade Commission (on-line complaint form), Canadian Anti-Fraud Center (they share with US authorities) FBI Tips (on-line form). In Australia you can submit to Australian Competition & Consumer Commission.

In 2007, The Australian Securities and Investments Commission stated "Mr Kwok was sentenced in the Sydney District Court today after being found guilty, following a two-week trial in October 2006, of dishonestly using his position as a director under the Corporations Act. ASIC alleged that Mr Kwok acted dishonestly while a director of Envirostar Energy Limited (Envirostar), a publicly listed company, by not disclosing his interest in two parcels of land leased by Envirostar. The leases over the land commenced in mid-2000 but Mr Kwok's interest was not discovered until August 2002 when he tendered his resignation from the Envirostar Board. Envirostar had paid rent of approximately $30,000 per month for the land."

No because the perpetual motion and conservation of energy refers to thermodynamic principles (1st, 2nd and 3rd laws); but not fluid mechanics and dynamics, flow of physics, Archimedes Principles and Newtown's Laws (1st and 2nd Laws of Physics).

Now to put the above explanation into relevant equations and technically referred to as Energy and Mass Balance:
*        In energy conversion: Ei = Eo - ZL; where Ei= energy input on continuous basis, such as coal, gas, biomass as heat energy, wave and wind as mechanical energy.; Eo= Energy output in electrical energy; ZL=zigma Losses due to energy conversion and frictions, and ambience conditions.

*        In perpetual motion: Ei = Eo + DE; where Ei=a one-time-only energy input, such as movements of filaments due to heat and pressure variants from ambience conditions, and/or mechanical energy.; Eo= energy output in electrical energy; DE= delta energy gained due to whatever (which we concur with you as invalid!).

*        In Hidro+: Ei + EProd = Eo - ZL; where: Ei= electrical energy input on continuous basis; EProd=energy gained due to deep water pressure energy conversion including bouyancy at 1010kg/m3 and deep water pressure at 1bar (100kPa) per meter of water depth; Eo= energy output including gravity and potential energy of freefall object and terminal velocity; ZL=zigma losses due to conversion and frictions, etc.

OH! that's all right then.

Ahem!

They have a WORKING PLANT, you only have to go to Jakarta to see for yourself! How can you possibly complain about something that works according to Newtown's Laws and the flow of physics? There is plenty of scope to develop it too, using Bayesian Probability and Quantum Tunneling.

$o= $i + (Ni * $pi) - $l where Ni is the number of idiots, $pi is the sum payed per idiot, and $l is the cost of laundering the loot overseas.

Dear Sirs,
You have shown interest in our company either for commercial, technical, scientific or research-based reasons. This letter is sent to you privately; it is not a press release, nor intended for publication. We will soon be making our public announcements accordingly. We honour our word to reciprocate your good will and interest in our work during a period that could be defined as "business as unusual". From now on, we progress full steam ahead, business as usual.

For over 20 years many have believed in the existence of a new thermal energy source known as Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR). A considerable body of literature, measurements and tests have been pursued by laboratories in many countries. The LENR field has yet to provide a concrete understanding of the fundamental theory. A lot of work still needs to be done in the theoretical analysis and beyond.

Defkalion scientific team consists of scientific and engineering experts. It has successfully managed to trigger and monitor Chemically Assisted Low Energy Nuclear Reactions caused by Nickel and Hydrogen nuclei. This unique LENR technology is based on proprietary methodologies and engineering designs.

Defkalion has conducted third party tests on its core technology by internationally recognized and reputable private and public organizations from Europe and America. Today, there is solid, unambiguous evidence confirming our technology. We are at the dawn of a new era of clean, inexpensive, limitless renewable energy.

We believe that LENR is a technology that should be benefited by everybody. Our core philosophy and vision were always based on responsible use. We believe in creating new opportunities for fossil free energy which will have a huge impact on climate change and carbon emissions. It goes without saying that our technology will also have a great positive impact on the Greek economy with dynamic implications on the global economy. We support the transition of low cost energy to third world countries while also showing commitment to an entirely new field of scientific research that will initiate new products through research and development as well as the rebirth of high cost energy technologies.

It is unlikely that the commercialization of LENR technology will have an immediate significant decrease in fossil fuel consumption, but a very dramatic psychological impact is expected. Investors will see the medium and long-term implications of significantly lower energy prices, and consequentially lower the assessed value of soon-to-be obsolete energy infrastructure, conventional energy companies, and long-term contracts for their relatively expensive products.

Defkalion will become the first global player in LENR using its proprietary technology to commercialize its new products and diversify into new Research & Development efforts for new applications. It plans to have a fully operational prototype ready by July 2012.

Defkalion has the most advanced technical and business development in this new energy paradigm as confirmed and verified by long time LENR experts. Although we still have some more months ahead of us before our commercial product is finalized for market entry, we are ready today to share our plans with potential partners.

Our launch-strategy for this technology with minimal risk of failure encompasses fast speed, wide applications, many countries, competitive pricing, protection against competition, as well as in-depth international support.
Your interest represents one of over 1,000 entities from more than 70 countries. Our business with potential partners is two-fold: either as an OEM to manufacture, sell and service our products in given countries, or to jointly create R&D project towards new applications using our technology.

Defkalion business is primarily a technology licensing company with expected revenues being generated from the following models:

a. OEM License Agreements
Licenses to build and sell Hyperion products are sold to companies with exclusivity for a given country. Each license sold for Euros 40.5 million represents one factory with maximum capacity 300,000 units annually (varying capacity and numbers of factories will change the fee accordingly). No further royalty fees are paid by Licensees. Powder (cartridge format) will be sold as a component to each Hyperion unit.

Defkalion selects one company as OEM from every country based on their readiness to run this technology in their country, their willingness to execute the project, and their ability to handle a 100 million Euro investment.
Defkalion shall provide to every OEM Licensee a full Transfer of Technology & Know-How concerning production, maintenance, installation and recharge of Hyperion products. This will be done after signing of contracts and will be done in phases through a deliverables matrix.

b. Joint Ventures through R&D
Companies can further develop Defkalion's proprietary LENR technology as a heat source through joint R&D for specific processes and/or applications according to their expertise as global leaders in their own industry. Defkalion shall partner with them with global distribution rights as niche market players, where R&D is coordinated in Greece.
Existing interest has already come from the following sectors: marine propulsion; water desalination; automobile; small aircraft; mining/extraction; telecom towers; cooling/heating; green-houses; fertilizers; food & beverage; cement; commercial heating; household heating; drying industry; data storage; hospitals; airport take-off & landing strips; district heating; battery charging.

Should you be interested to continue through one of these approaches, please contact us accordingly. For entities and/or individuals that wish simply to purchase units, you will have to wait until there is a representative in your country. For businesses and/or technical interests, we will need from you the following:

Entity name, CEO/Director's name, main address, website, contact details
History, operational overview, LENR interest

Future milestone events that you can expect from Defkalion are the following:
Presentation of a fully functioning prototype shown to the international scientific community, open to the world's media, during the summer of 2012.

Not long after, an international press conference with all the companies involved in this project and the OEMs from each country having signed a contract with us.

We look forward to hearing from those of you whose interest corresponds to our business models. We wish the rest of you - whose anticipation remains the witnessing of a final product - patience and support.

Kind Regards,

Symeon Tsalikoglou
Director, Business Development & Marketing
Praxen Defkalion Green Technologies (Global) Ltd.

THANK YOU KINDLY FOR THE OFFER

That nasty GLOBAL OIL CARTEL is trying to suppress it

Crewton Ramone's Blog Of Math, July 7, 2011 6:06 AM
The silence of American Media is again a tell tale sign of whom it is that controls the media and whom it is that benefits from the media and it is not the American people.

They have done a fine job of keeping this information from the people with every manner of distraction. It is such a threat that they don't want ANY attention placed on it not even negative attention because even negative attention is still attention which could lead some to look further and realize just how BIG this is.

Cheap energy is the ultimate game changer...it's up to the blogosphere to spread this information at the grassroots level. This will have two fold effect, not only will the information spread but the MSM will be further exposed as the servants of the banksters who own big oil and nuclear power which are the mainstay of the energy establishment. Soon they will be unable to ignore it. Meantime, use their silence to your advantage.

I do think though Keef, that if you put as much energy into looking for genuine solutions as you do into opposing bogus ones, you'd make a better contribution. The scammers can operate because the world is looking for an easy way out of a huge problem. It's possible (probable?) that there is no solution; in which case we're fucked. But let's try to look for one.

It's a serious problem Paul
They are robbing investors large and small.
Many of the scams attract investments from superannuation funds whose members had no say in the matter.
Other investments come from retirees and redundancy payees who fall for the promised high returns.
This does NOTHING to create the needed breakthroughs in renewable energy.
It diverts money that could have been used for genuine research.


Rossi's Australian Investment Opportunity Falls ThroughPosted on February 13, 2012 by Steven B. Krivit
An Australian believer in Andrea Rossi's "Energy Catalyzer" has failed to obtained money to acquire the Australian rights to Rossi's device.

Solihin Millin, from Murwillumbah, Byron Bay, Australia, asked potential investors for money to acquire the Australian rights to Rossi's device. One of the potential investors was Dick Smith, a successful Australian businessman and philanthropist. Millin asked him for AUS$200,000.

Smith had some doubts so he asked the Australian Skeptics Society to look into the merits of Rossi's device. They had doubts, too, and warned Smith, who decided to pass on the opportunity.

Millin, in turn, threatened to sue Smith for damages of AUS$100 million because, according to Millin, he lost the time-sensitive opportunity to acquire the Australian E-Cat rights.

Millin runs an organization in Australia called Byron New Energy Charitable Trust, also known as the Byron New Energy Group. New Energy Times spoke with Millin on Feb. 1, but he declined to comment.

I know I am pushing shit uphill with a pointed stick BUT

Ralph Nader did not design any new cars
He did however make a contribution to automobile safety.

I think the renewable energy industry is also "unsafe at any speed"
and I think it is time to build in safety features to reduce the injury caused by car crashes like Green & Gold Energy and Solyndra.

No, that's all right, no need to thank me, just doing my job....

Greg Watson has now done a runner to the USA.
That might prove to have been a mistake.

Case Summary

The lawsuit is for purchasers of the common stock of Emcore Corporation (NASDAQ: EMKR) between June 12, 2007 and June 30, 2008.   

The lawsuit alleges that the Company made false and misleading statements throughout the class period in violation of federal securities laws by publishing statements that its main customer, Green and Gold Energy ("GGE"), was a viable company that could afford to purchase the product it had backordered from Emcore. In fact, the lawsuit alleges, Emcore knew that Green and Gold Energy would not be able to pay for its backlogged orders because, among other things, Emcore knew that: (1) the CEO of GGE formerly promoted a failed venture to produce a "perpetual motion machine" (a machine that modern science has proven cannot be made, and for which investors reportedly lost all their money), (2) GGE did not even have a plant to build the machine in which it was going to use the product it ordered from Emcore, (3) the prototype of GGE's machine in which it would use Emcore's product was not functional, and (4) the company GGE touted as it "exclusive distributor" (Zolar Distributors) was a sham company with no physical address created by GGE itself. Moreover, the lawsuit alleges that Emcore's insiders traded on the information that they concealed from the investing public, making big profits on unscheduled and unusual trades that they made ahead of the precipitous fall in the Company's share price.

On March 18, 2008, reports that GGE was not a viable company started to surface. On the basis of these reports, and Emcore's rebuttal to the reports, made the same day, which failed to address the specific allegations against GGE, the price of Emcore's shares dropped precipitously, falling more that 23% from the previous day's trading, on heavy volume.

Point taken Keef, but I honestly don't mind greedy bastards being skinned by conmen. As for the others, just trumpet out loud: never buy into a technology you don't understand, and if it looks like a free lunch, you're probably the filling in the pasties.
