Q. "So what does STWA's Technology do?

A. "What we do is particulate matter aggregation in binary suspension fluids. This enables lower fluid transport costs, improved fuel economy and cleaner emissions. So, if we can save energy both on the production of fuels and for their end use as transporation fuel. We have the potential to help remove megatons of carbon emissions, quickly, easily, and profitably."


Q. "What is particulate matter aggregation?"

A. "Particulate matter aggregation is like carpooling for microscopic particles. Similar to freeway traffic which flows better when there are fewer cars on the road, particles which are being transported in a fluid, like crude oil or diesel fuel, are an integral part of the fuel, yet they create drag. What our products do is simply get these microscopic particles to join together, like a carpool to enable to fluid to flow more easily. That's it.

Q. "So what's that got to do with efficiency?"

A. "Well, by getting these particles to grab together into microscopic clusters, we enable the viscosity of the fluid to go down, making it easier to pump. So, for example, if you run an offshore oil rig and pump the crude oil in large pipes which are underwater, the oil you are pumping is thick and difficult to move, just like pulling a milkshake through a straw.

Pumping this thick, viscous fluid takes an unbelievably enormous amount of energy, especially over long distances and in cold climates. The current solutions are heating the fluid and using chemical additives to reduce the viscosity, our technology would be supplemental to these means. So, in a nutshell, if we can make pumping just a little bit more efficient, the overall energy savings are unimaginable. And that's just on one application, oil pipelines.

Q. "So, what else can it work on?"

A. "Particulate matter aggregation is the key piece of the puzzle behind our ELEKTRA devices enabling diesel engines to be more efficient and produce fewer, cleaner emissions. The principle is the same from AOT to ELEKTRA, one for large-scale crude oil and the other for vehicle scale diesel engines. By aggregating these microscopic particles (present in both crude oil and diesel fuel) together, it is possible to reduce the fuel viscosity, just like crude oil. This not only makes the diesel fuel easier to pump in cold climates, it makes the fuel easier to spray into smaller droplets due to the reduced surface tension of the newly less-viscous fuel.

These smaller droplets, like kindling in a campfire, burn faster and more completely, releasing more of their energy and reducing the amount of unburnt fuel emitted in the exhaust.

By aggregating the microscopic particles into clusters, the fuel injectors are able to spray finer, smaller droplets, which burn more completely, due to their increased amount of surface area per fuel unit volume introduced to the combustion stroke. This enables the fuel to do more work per unit volume, reducing the overall amount needed per combustion stroke.

This inherently improves efficiency, and causes fewer harmful emissions to be released from the tailpipe, making the engine cleaner burning in addition to being more efficient."

Q: "But wait, you said that you are aggregating particles into clusters which makes them bigger, yet you say that the droplet size is reduced... that doesn't make sense."

A: "Agreed. At first read, it seems counterintuitive that by making clusters bigger, the droplet size goes down, yet that is precisely what happens.

The key is this:
The clusters are on a nano-scale size, whereas the the droplets are of an order of magnitude far, far greater in physical size. By aggregating the particulate matter into microscopic clusters, you enable the free range for the dissolved matter within the suspending fluid to be greater, just like putting more people into a carpool reduces the number of cars on the road. This enables the fluid to flow more easily, due to the reduction in viscosity (just like smoother traffic flow on the freeway if everyone is carpooling).

The reduction in viscosity means that the fluid overall is "thinner" which allows it to be ejected from the fuel injector as a finer fluid, enabling the vaporizing droplets to be smaller in physical size.

Smaller droplets have more surface area per unit volume of fuel exposed to the air and explosion within the power stroke, allowing them to burn faster and more completely, increasing power, increasing efficiency, and reducing emissions all at the same time."

Q. "So, when can I buy one?"

A. "For ELEKTRA and AOT the answer is: Soon.
We are at this time just about to transition from research and development to initial production versions hopefully by the end of the year or next spring. What we are doing at this time is figuring out how to optimize the technology to work at peak efficiency for different types of fuels and fluids, temperatures, flow rates, with and without additives and myriad other complex factors, which as you might imagine isn't exactly easy."

"However, MAGChargr is available now for certain vehicle applications, please contact sales for more information."

Q. "What does the future hold for STWA?"

A. "What we are trying to do is very simple. We are attempting to create easily adoptable solutions for large industry in efforts to reduce energy consumption and clean up pollution.
At this time, we are transitioning from being purely research and development to initial and then full scale production versions of our new technology.
As with any forward-looking experimental technology, this is an uncharted road strewn with obstacles, but we continue to forge ahead, no matter how bumpy the road may get."


Q. "It seems that there has been a slowdown in Press Releases as of late Spring 2009, what's going on?"

A. "We have adopted a new policy on forward-looking statements regarding our company and its offerings, that being one of under-promise and over-deliver.
Since we have been in a fund-raising mode during the worst financial crises since the 1930's, there have been unforseen setbacks as far as timetables are concerned which have forced us into staying quiet for a bit longer than initially anticipated, please understand that our low level of communication is intentional to mitigate any future-looking deadlines going unmet due to circumstances caused by the macro-economic downturns which is outside of our control.

Currently, we are focused on internal business structurization, systems and controls, as they have minimal required capital expenditures but yield large efficiency dividends in the future. These systems and controls being internal lines of communications, manufacturing efficiencies, materials, processes, computer system optimizations, brand and marketing guidelines and operatives, external business alliances, sales channels developments, public works inroads, research and independent studies for effective deployment of our technology in large fleets, and technological optimization of our technologies for maximum efficacy over the greatest number of applications possible.

What we are doing at this time is making sure that our backend systems can handle the stresses and strains that are sure to come upon successful fundraising and working towards our projected figures.

We are simply laying a solid foundation for future growth at this time.
