SHT visits SRI; "This could be the biggest discovery in the history
of mankind"
Solar Hydrogen Trends recently attended an investment
conference at Stanford Research Institute, during which they were able
to spend several hours with Michael McKubre, who, until he sees a
convincing demo for himself, is not ready to give a public statement,
but is encouraged.

The following report comes from Hakop Aganyan (Jack) of
Solar Hydrogen Trends, Inc (SHT) in Pasadena, California, with
headquarters in Menlo Park, California, USA.
Hi Sterling,
Over the last week important events took place in the life of
SHT, which I hope will be of interest to you and your readers.
On August 5, a delegation from Solar Hydrogen Trends
participated in the very highly regarded Green Tech Investing
conference at SRI (Menlo Park, CA) with names such as Shell VC,
Siemens VC, GM VC and etc.
I present to you the thesis of my report, specifically made for
this conference.
As you all know there are 3 parameters in business
that you are all familiar [with] and you meet daily in
your business practice.
# 1. Conflict of interest;
# 2. Investment risks;
# 3. Mismatches of supply and demand;
Typically, such events occur one at a time. Our company
Solar Hydrogen Trends is faced with all three
simultaneously. I'll start with supply and demand. Solar
Hydrogen Trends scientists and engineers created a
unique hydrogen reactor called "Symphony 7", capable of
producing hundreds of thousands of gallons of hydrogen
per hour.
Serial production of our hydrogen reactors will not only
meet all the hydrogen demand in the U.S., but will also
make our country a major exporter of hydrogen in the
world. [STERLING'S COMMENT: "export" becomes moot when
on-site production makes so much more sense by licensing
the technology worldwide.] Despite the fact that
investment in hydrogen production will allow complete
dominance in all energy segments, which is about $8
trillion [USD]. I would like to inform you that big US
investors are beginning to notice us, but the
recognition process is a bit slow.
According to specialists, it is a consequence of
excessive investment risks. We understand the investor's
position. Solar Hydrogen Trends is a young company, not
well known, and whatever she claims causes doubt or
uncertainty. My guess is because Solar Hydrogen's
scientific team mainly consists of scientists from
Russia, and thus is not very favorable to the image of
the company, despite the fact that people who immigrated
to the United States are the best of the best, as
evidenced by numerous awards and grants including the
Nobel prize received by Russian-American scientists over
the past 5 years.
Our company does everything to minimize investment
risks. Our control tests are performed by the best
American companies that are rated and trusted, in the
U.S. and worldwide. We are open, transparent, we allow
investors to conduct their own control tests. We believe
all doubts will be over soon, and we will finally have
American investors to be interested in our technology,
as it is already happening with the Chinese, Indians and
Europeans.
A few words about the conflict of interest. It's no
secret that a significant part of the largest investors
in our country have stakes in oil and energy business.
Therefore, their participation in hydrogen business can
lead to conflicts of interest. In reality, it's vice
versa. It is the Petrochemical and energy companies that
urgently need to go into the hydrogen business and
become leaders in it. The wheel of history cannot be
turned back; the Hydrogen Era is here to stay. It is a
reality of today and it is not possible to cancel,
ignore or suppress it.
Everyone will benefit from this, including those who
think their own business will become unprofitable.
Ladies and gentlemen, have the courage, please open your
minds, mobilize resources, and you will be victorious. |
As part of the conference, there were many useful meetings
with investors. Because, as you know, no investor will invest a
penny in a project if they're not confident in the success of
the project.
In one of the meetings,
Michael McKubre was invited as an expert.

Aganyan of SHT; Fran Tanzella, PhD of SRI; Jack of SHT;
Michael McKubre, PhD of SRI; Prof. Konstantin Balakiryan
of SHT. Cropped out is a potential investor, well-known
in LENR circles. |
There is no need to remind you who Michael McKubre is. As a
scientist, he is one of the most authoritative experts in the
world. At the beginning of the meeting, Dr. McKubre, with his
whole appearance, showed skepticism in all this.
However, by submitting our documents including [three
third-party] test results of "Symphony 7A", convincing evidence
and theoretical underpinnings of physical and chemical processes
made by our top scientist Prof. Konstantin Balakiryan, who was
present, persuaded him to recognize the validity of the
agreeable facts.
Nevertheless, Dr. McKubre rightly noted that the submissions did
not disclose to him the full picture and composition of the
gaseous mixture on the exit. That is, he does not question the
figure of 97.5% hydrogen content but rather it would be
interesting for him to know of the presence and origins of other
hydrogen isotopes in the gas.
Theoretically and practically, such studies could be carried
out, but this will require additional time and effort. Besides
that, our potential investors absolutely do not care, and like
our lawyers, they believe that such isotopic fingerprinting can
wait.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS BY STERLING D. ALLAN
The above report downplays the significance of what took place, from
what I can gather.
After reviewing the data and the theory for about 3.5 hours, Mike
McKubre preliminarily stated, "This could be the the biggest discovery
in the history of mankind". Bear in mind that this is contingent on if
they truly have what they claim to have. See his remarks further below.
McKubre also cautioned the SHT crew, saying: "You guys need to be very
careful."
Already, they have contingency plans in place, with 12 sealed envelops
containing a full set of instructions sequestered around the globe, with
instructions of how to proceed in the event that something should happen
to Konstanin, the primary inventor and/or Jack, who has also contributed
substantially to the invention. I don't know if one of their
contingencies is instruction to open source the plans under certain
circumstances, but that certainly would be a good way to stop the thugs
from thinking they can suppress them by whacking them.
McKubre was glad to hear they have international patents and not just
U.S. patents, which could otherwise be subjected to U.S. National
Security gag order. "You did the right thing." Also, as long as at least
one of the team is a foreign citizen, it limits what the U.S. government
can do.
Regarding possible testing at SRI, McKubre noted that at their facility
in Menlo Park, they presently do not have the capability to handle the
hydrogen flow rates that SHT is producing. They would need a scaled down
version, reducing it by 10-15 times. At SHT's present output rate,
there's a facility in Washington D.C., with a 30-40 foot dome roof,
capable of handling that much hydrogen production for indoor testing.
SHT would like to be able to build a 10,000 ft2 facility with a 1000 ft2
space for testing the reactors, with reinforced concrete walls. Jack
checked with 10 different rentals in the LA area, but none of them were
interested in renting, saying that after they did the modifications
needed, no one would want to rent thereafter; or it would be
unreasonably expensive to restore the building to the way it had been.
Within 2-3 months, Konstantin would like to connect their Symphony 7 to
a generator or fuel cell.
In financial matters, Jack mentioned that they have more people willing
to come up with 2-4 million dollars. He thinks maybe a syndication would
be an option for investors.
Here is an email I received today from McKubre:

Hi Sterling,
Sorry I missed your previous request (below) but must decline
the interview request. Until I see the machine in operation and
have a chance to run at least zero’th level checks, there is
very little I can or should contribute publicly. I liked the
guys. They seem honest and knowledgeable but acknowledge that
they are concealing elements of the chemical reactions that
occur inside the box. This is their right, and obviously if the
third party tests are valid (as they seem to be) then something
is happening well beyond chemistry. But I do not want to give
the impression of “selling a pig in a poke” - especially a
“poke” (box) I have not seen and watched operate.
As a clarification to your story SRI does have the capability of
handling their hydrogen production at present rates but not at
our Menlo Park (urban) facility. What they propose seems far
more sensible at this point. Run a downscaled (or throttled)
unit into a fuel cell and quantify the electricity out. This
would immediately demonstrate practicality. Hydrogen is a bit
like Excess Heat — hard to see, hard to store, and in the case
of H2, potentially hazardous.
Best,
Mike |
