If they actually have anything at all with commercial potential then they sure don't describe it in credible fashion, imho. No question that it is very effective stock promotion, though. Here's the whole faq page - xogen.com Question: Who is Xogen Power Inc.? Answer: Xogen Power Inc. is a privately owned Alberta company with its head office at 1160, 1122 - 4th Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2R 1M1, phone number 403-251-9233, fax number 403-251-9244, email: research@xogen.com. The Directors and Officers are: Mr. John E.K. Grove - President and Director Mr. Stephen B. Chambers - Director of Research and Development Mr. Barrie D. Shibley - Treasurer and Director* Mr. Hugh J. Davis - Secretary and Director* Mr. J. Kenneth Grove - Director* Mr. Robert W. Reisig - Director Mr. Clair E. Shoemaker - Director * denotes common Directors of both Xogen Power Inc. and Tathacus Resources Ltd. Question: What is the Xogen Technology? Answer: Xogen Power Inc. applied for worldwide patents based on the results of research which discovered a breakthrough Technology that separates water into usable hydrogen and oxygen with a modest electrical input. The gases are generated on demand at the point required which eliminates storage and provides a transportable method of hydrogen generation. Question: Will Xogen Power Inc. provide full disclosure of the Technology? Answer: No, the specific details of the Technology are proprietary to Xogen Power Inc. and are subject to the strictest confidentiality. Question: What are the applications of the Technology? Answer: The Xogen Technology can be used as a fuel source for internal combustion engines, jet engines, and burner tip applications (heating and furnace uses). Confidential Independent Engineering Reports suggest the applications exist "anywhere a fuel is burned". Question: Is the Technology currently available in the marketplace? Answer: No, the Technology is currently at the "Beta Prototype" stage with efficient prototype models demonstrating internal combustion and heating applications. These models provide the necessary data and efficiencies from which production units may be engineered and manufactured in the future. Question: How will Xogen Power Inc. bring the Technology to the marketplace? Answer: Xogen Power Inc. signed a Joint Venture with Tathacus Resources Ltd. through which Xogen and Tathacus are developing a home heating apparatus. Xogen will introduce their Technology through this and other Joint Ventures to the world. Question: Is the Technology efficient to manufacture and operate? Answer: According to a Confidential Independent Engineering Analysis "mass production of the Xogen hydrogen generator should be straight forward and inexpensive." This, in conjunction with relatively simple conversions of existing consumer products, should provide competitive pricing of various commercial applications of the Technology. Operating costs are minimal as the input is water and a small amount of electrical input. The water required no chemical additives and can be fresh, salt or polluted. Question: How does Xogen Power Inc. differ from fuel cell companies? Answer: Xogen Power Inc. is an Advanced Energy Technology Company whose Research and Development focus is the generation of hydrogen and not the specific applications or uses of hydrogen. Xogen Power Inc. has addressed the fundamental problem of the fuel source, for example in vehicular applications the Technology eliminates the need for onboard storage of any other fuel. Question: Does this technology break the known laws of Physics? Answer: No, certainly not. The Physics that is used in the Xogen technology, has been around for years. "No law's of physics are violated within the Xogen Technology". Question: I've heard it said you are trying to sell perpetual motion, is this true? Answer: No, this is not true. Perpetual motion, as we all know, cannot be achieved. Not even in a zero gravity vacuum environment! There is always an energy loss, the Xogen technology is no exception to this law. Question: Are you claiming that you get more energy out, than is put in? Answer: No this is impossible. Xogen is making no claims whatsoever, we are not trying to promote any form of fusion, hot, cold or even something in between. Question: If your technology was applied to a vehicle, would we be able to attach the exhaust pipe to the Xogen technology, and run forever? Answer: No, definitely not. In all applications there is an energy loss. Question: Does Xogen's technology exploit stored energy in water? Answer: Yes...... It is often said that you cannot get more energy output than input. In it's standard form, this is absolutely true. But lets take a closer look. If we examine one gallon of gasoline, the stored energy is huge. The power needed to release this energy is merely that of a spark, and as we all know, the energy contained in a spark is tiny. This example can be said by some to violate the laws of Physics. The energy of a spark input equals vast energy output . Therefore, it can be said that we violate natures laws every time we turn the ignition key, but as we know, this is not true, as we are releasing the stored energy within the gasoline. The ignition system in a car engine is the energy release mechanism. If we examine one gallon of water, the energy stored is even higher than that of gasoline. Xogen doesn't release the stored energy with a spark, but with well known scientific principals which have stood the test of time. Question: Is this a scientific dream come true? Answer: Xogen is not in dreamland. The research team at Xogen, has examined the laws of Hydrogen extraction closely and have developed a more efficient process.
