Source: PR Newswire [Dec 07, 2002]...(more)
BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 5, 2002--Genesis World Energy, a privately funded consortium created by a group of military and space program research and development specialists, today unveiled a scientific breakthrough that allows consumers to easily access the energy contained within the hydrogen and oxygen molecular structure of ordinary water.
This scientific breakthrough provides a limitless, low cost and environmentally clean source of energy that can be implemented with minimal cost and effort. The viability of using water as an energy source, previously a theoretical concept, is now a reality. "Water has always been the source of life on this planet, now it will also transform the way we create energy," said Charles Shaw, corporate counsel and spokesperson for Genesis World Energy. "The implications for worldwide energy generation and consumption are nothing less than staggering." http://www.evworld.com/databases/shownews.cfm?pageid=news071202-01

Vlad, Do you have a followup to his article as to who has been issued franchises. Where can you purchase the fuel
cell for home use? The article is a advertising PR but but doesn't list any references as to where to who has
the distribution rights. There is no references as to independent data verification of their claim. DTB |

manufacturing licenses. These would likely contain any "proof" of operation. Mark |

Mark, I'm curious to know what the patent number of their device is? That would give legitimacy to the product.
Whether it works as advertised is something else. I've read the article but it appears to me to be PR hype.',

On the genesisworldenergy website, it is stated that "The home version of the Edison Device produces approximately 30
kilowatts of combined gas and electrical energy per day. By comparison, the typical home uses between five to six kilowatts
per day. The commercial model is capable of producing 100 kilowatts of energy per day." Whoever wrote this apparently does
not know that the kilowatt is a unit of electric power, that's ENERGY PER TIME UNIT. To say that the unit produces 30 KW per
day is as nonsensical as saying that a car is going at 75 miles per hour per day. |

is an interesting news, possible related to this one: Hydrogen from water, without electrolysis ', 'Researchers at
DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory have patented a "Method of Generating Hydrogen
by Catalytic Decomposition of Water." The invention potentially leapfrogs current capital and energy intensive processes that
produce hydrogen from fossil fuels or through the electrolysis of water. According to co-inventor Arun Bose, "Hydrogen can be
produced by electrolysis, but the high voltage requirements are a commercial barrier. The invention provides a new route for
producing hydrogen from water by using mixed proton-electron conducting membranes." Water is decomposed on the feed surface.
The hydrogen is ionized and protons and electrons travel concurrently through the membrane. On the permeate side, they
combine into hydrogen molecules. From: http://www.ornl.gov/news/pulse/pulse_v121_02.htm |

information about World Energy Management, the "Genesis Project", Nejhla Shaw President of World Energy Management, and
anything that would show what this "Edison Device" that they claim to produce electrical energy with and have found only the
PR releases and the non-informative website www.genesisworldenergy.org.
This is just screaming "Somethin' ain't
right here!" To me at least.
I can't imagine the Edison people, which I am sure there are, would appreciate some
"consortium" using a term that uses the Thomas Edison name to hype a product that isn't under the Edison umbrella of public
knowledge. My understanding was that when the phonograph was introduced to the "people", a common term to refer to it was
"Edison Device".
It also seems odd to me that I am unable to view names, pictures and supporting documentation of
the 400 consortium members that worked together to bring this technology to "the people". If you just unlocked one of the
greatest resources available to the world, power from water and not just clean pure drinking water, any type of water.
Wouldn't you want your boss to acknowledge you on the website under consortium member of the month?
Even though
these people are in a "consortium" there still must be a admin structure, a "boss" type person, a project coordinator, team
names, team members etc. And yet no mention of anyone on these teams. This is the statement that seems odd "the individuals
involved in the Genesis Project wish to remain anonymous."
Of course they do. If you have no names, you can't pin
anyone down to ask questions. And it seems that this "consortium" has managed to do just that. Put out a tremendous claim,
one that has far reaching global, social, political and scientific ramifications and then said "Well...we did all this work,
here is our ambiguos press release through some SMALL PR agency in Boise, Idaho don't call us, we'll call you."
',
'Come on. Please.
Again, the allusions to this device helping the people of the world seem to defy their own
mission. The figures they throw out "roughly $3,000 for the residential model, and $9,000 for the commercial model" seem to
be out of line for people in developing countries it could take years to garner that type of cash to have power. Hell by the
time the unit was paid for a person might be able to afford the lamp to plug into the unit.
I also love the we
want to help the people of the world bit and then you read this "The Genesis Technology is privately owned by the individuals
who created it and they have no intention of offering equity to the public. People who wish to invest in Genesis related
technologies, may look to publicly traded corporations that receive licenses." Are you serious? Directing me to some energy
company to buy your wares? Got one word for ya...ENRON!
You are not pulling this one again. I am not going to
feed a bunch of money grubbing suit wearing corporate executives who don't give a shit about "the people". If this is such
a liberating technology that they have gone through all this trouble to develope, I would think a bunch of wisenheimers in
this "consortium" would be able to attain funding to start a business, build a factory and distribute "Edison Devices"
through my local Wal-Mart. Hell I get everything else in Wal-Mart, why not my energy?
They state "Energy has
always been as plentiful and inexpensive as water. Amazingly, it was right there in front of us all this time; we just were
not looking at it that way."
That is just great. You can look at a different way to generate the energy from
water, yet you want to fall into the trappings of going through corporate entities to get the product to "the people". How
does it help me to have to pay markups, service fees and all the other bullshit that goes into marketing and selling a
product? It seems like a easy sell if its real. Does this product have to be like everything else before it? Help the
people, do the right thing, if this is a real deal then step above the human desire to wring every dollar from people and
make it as available as water to use.
Q: Are Edison Devices currently available?
A: Commercially
viable versions of the Edison Device currently exist, as does the manufacturing capacity to produce and assemble devices. It
is the intent, however, of the Genesis Project that full-scale assembly and distribution of the Edison Device be accomplished
by licensees, rather than by Genesis World Energy or World Energy Management.
Where are they being used?
What companies are using them? Can we contact these companies and ask them about the cost savings of not paying the electric
company for power? Since the companies are not paying utility companies are they passing the savings on to the workers? Or
is this a executive kick back? Where does the money savings go? I would love to contact all companies that have this device
installed. I would think I could do a search on "Edison Device" powered business and get some results. Go ahead and try
it.
I know if my business was able to severe the tether of paying big utility companies for power I would be on
the roof top screaming at the top of my lungs "POWER FOR THE PEOPLE!"
According to Nejhla Shaw, World Energy
Management President, "We will make Edison Devices rapidly available to governments and industries on a worldwide
basis, with special licensing opportunities for those industries that will be most affected by the technology. For the first
time in the history of the world, a clean and abundant source of renewable energy is as simple as the attachment of three
wires, a gas line and a water hose."
Who is Nejhla Shaw? This is the only name I can find in association of
all of this. Why is there no way of contacting Nejhla Shaw? There is just to much print and not enough proof at this point
to really take these people seriously. Maybe when I get the printed material you can request I'll change my tune. I doubt
it though.
Now if a "Edison Device" shows up on my doorstep and it works. Listen for the scream.

Among the questions the Shaws declined to answer were: What are the names of those involved in the privately
funded consortium? Where did the research take place, and what are the locations of a residential home and industrial
facility said to be fully operational using the Edison Device? How much was invested in research and who provided those
funds? 205
“It's incredibly interesting,” said Shirl Boyce, vice president of economic development for the Boise
Metro Chamber of Commerce, who was invited to view the technology launch at the Boise Centre on the Grove. “I can264t
respond to a business model or anything else about them. I can264t say a lot more than that.” 205
Idaho Power did
not have a representative at the launch, but a representative Thursday said the technology was potentially revolutionary.
“If this is legitimate, then it would revolutionize the energy industry,” said Dennis Lopez, a spokesman for Idaho Power,
after he perused the group264s Web site (www.GenesisWorldEnergy.org). Lopez said new ideas for generating electricity
aren264t uncommon and the utility264s parent company, IdaCorp, has a division that is focused on developing fuel cell
technology. “Our fuel cell division has a number of fuel cells being tested by the military and others,” said Lopez, but
he added he isn264t familiar with anyone who has developed a process that uses solely water - and nothing else - in a fuel
cell. “Using just water without any other resource would be a major breakthrough. I264m sure if they have a working
model we could look at, I would assume any utility would be interested in seeing it.” 205. |
