Attempted Swindle By Chava Wind LLC’s Fraudulent Parent, Chava Energy LLC

Section 1:  PREAMBLE.
1.1.    In October and November of 2013, Chava Energy LLC attempted to DECEIVE, DEFRAUD and SWINDLE not only the JP Morgan Chase corporation, but also the GENERAL PUBLIC, in that they attempted to win a “Mission Main Street” Small Business Grant in a fraudulent manner, by FRAUDULENTLY DECEIVING not only the JP Morgan Chase corporation, but members of the GENERAL PUBLIC as well.
1.2.   Chava Energy has furthermore DECEIVED the GENERAL PUBLIC by falsely pretending to be developing innovative and transformational “revolutionary breakthroughs” which could provide an alternative to fossil fuels, even though precisely NONE of Chava Energy’s pretended “breakthroughs” is anything more than an utterly worthless and fraudulent pretense.

Section 2:   SUBSTANTIATION of PREAMBLE

2.1.  Chava Energy LLC was co-founded by Hagen Ruff and Mark Goldes, and the chavaenergy.com website appeared in April 2009.
2.2.  Before Chava Energy LLC was formed, the company known as Magnetic Power Inc listed Hagen Ruff as the CEO of Magnetic Power Inc, at least for one quarter of 2008. Magnetic Power Inc was founded by Mark Goldes, who served as CEO until the time in 2008 when Hagen Ruff became CEO.
2.3.  Hagen Ruff has earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering at a respected American university, and surely can be assumed to possess an effective grasp of the most basic and fundamental laws of physics – especially including the most basic laws of thermodynamics and conservation of energy.
2.4.  At the time in 2008 when Magnetic Power Inc listed Hagen Ruff as CEO of Magnetic Power Inc, Magnetic Power Inc was still continuing to promote several utterly worthless proposed “engine” and “generator” concepts as “revolutionary breakthroughs. These worthless concepts or pretended “breakthroughs” included the so-called “POWERGENIE” or “GENIE” generator, as well as a pretended “NO FUEL PISTON ENGINE” concept proposed by Kenneth Rauen, which would supposedly operate as a heat engine using only the single heat reservoir of ambient heat.
2.5.  As a person with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Hagen Ruff was surely able to realize that the “NO FUEL PISTON ENGINE” being promoted by Magnetic Power Inc was a worthless concept and not a “breakthrough” at all. Since it depended on the notion of obtaining work from a heat engine utilizing only a single heat reservoir at a single temperature, it could only work if the Second Law of Thermodynamics were false.
2.6.  As a person with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Hagen Ruff was surely able to realize that the “POWERGENIE” or “GENIE” being promoted by Magnetic Power Inc was also a worthless concept and not a “breakthrough” at all. Since it depended on the notion that a tuning-rod could somehow “multiply” energy, it could only work if the Law of Conservation of Energy were false.
2.7.  Even though Hagen Ruff’s competence and knowledge in Mechanical Engineering must surely have enabled him to realize that the pretended “breakthrough” concepts promoted by Mark Goldes were actually utterly worthless, he nonetheless chose Mark Goldes to be his business partner, and to be a Co-Founder along with himself of his new company, Chava Energy LLC.
2.8.  In October 2013, Chava Energy entered JP Morgan Chase’s “Mission Main Street Grants” contest for small business grants – each in the amount of $150,000 – to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. To win a grant, a company would first need to receive 250 votes from the general public in order to reach the panel selection stage, and then the company could hope to be selected as a winner by the panel. Chava Energy didn’t receive enough votes to reach the panel. At the time when this contest was conducted, all of Chava Energy’s false and fraudulent claims to be developing “fractional hydrogen” “SPICE” engines, Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converters, “Ultraconductor” Wire, “Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage systems,” and “MagGen” Zero Point Energy generators were still being presented on Chava Energy’s website, which of course would have been the voters’ primary source of information on Chava Energy – and which surely would have been the panel’s primary information source as well, if Chava Energy had reached the panel. If Chava Energy had reached the panel and won a grant, then Chava Energy certainly would have been guilty of swindling JP Morgan Chase, due to the utter falseness of the many fraudulent claims on the Chava Energy website. Since Chava Energy didn’t win any grant, this didn’t result in a completed swindle. It amounts to an attempted swindle.
2.9     Chava Energy’s “MagGen” Zero Point Energy Generator Development Pretense
2.9.1     Chava Energy for five years until June 2013 referred to two devices proposed by Graham Gunderson as “MagGen” magnetic generators, falsely and fraudulently claiming that they would provide electric power by “tapping Zero Point Energy,” and that Chava Energy would create “MagGen” prototypes “to provide power for automobiles” “within three years.” In fact, Chava Energy’s website even provided the patent numbers of two Chava Energy patent applications which they claimed would represent generators that could “tap Zero Point Energy” to provide power.
2.9.2    In fact, the two patent applications referenced did not even mention Zero Point Energy. Inspection of the concepts described in the patents shows that in fact neither of the two devices described could possibly “tap Zero Point Energy,” or serve as useful generators at all in any other way at all.
2.9.3    All of the claims regarding the pretended “MagGen” Zero Point Energy Generator development quoted below in Section 3.2.2 still being presented on Chava Energy’s website in November 2013, when Chava Energy entered the “Mission Main Street”  contest for Small Business Grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. In order to win a grant in this contest, a company would need to receive 250 votes in its favor from the general public. The evident desire of JP Morgan Chase was to award grants to the most deserving companies, and certainly not to the most dishonest companies. It is clear that voters in the general public would have developed their opinion of Chava Energy first of all from he information they would find on Chava Energy’s own website – including the claims regarding the pretended “MagGen” Zero Point Energy Generator development to be found there, which served to make Chava Energy seem more deserving of a grant than it really was. It is quite evident that Chava Energy presented false and dishonest claims and statements regarding their pretended “MagGen” Zero Point Energy Generator development in such a fraudulent manner that Chava Energy’s entry and competition in the “Mission Main Street” grants  contest was nothing less than an attempted swindle of JP Morgan Chase Corporation.
2.9.4.    During the year that has passed  since Chava Energy’s participation in the “Mission Main Street Grants” contest, has presented precisely NO EVIDENCE whatsoever that any “MagGen” Zero Point Energy Generator development has ever taken place at Chava Energy.  In fact, in June 2014, Chava Energy removed from their website all of the statements that made any mention or reference to “MagGen” Zero Point Energy Generator development – without a word of explanation. This is a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality Chava Energy had NEVER engaged at all in any “MagGen” Zero Point Energy Generator development, as they had claimed for the previous five years.
2.10.    Chava Energy’s “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” Engine Development Pretense
2.10.1.   During November of 2013, while Chava Energy was competing in the “Mission Main Street” contest for Small Business grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase, Chava Energy FALSELY and DISHONESTLY pretended in on their website that Chava Energy was developing a water-fueled “Fractional Hydrogen” Engine, even though in fact they never engaged in any such development.
2.10.2.    All of the claims regarding the pretended “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” engine development quoted below in section 3.3.2 were still being presented on Chava Energy’s website in November 2013, when Chava Energy entered the “Mission Main Street”  contest for Small Business Grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. In order to win a grant in this contest, a company would need to receive 250 votes in its favor from the general public. The evident desire of JP Morgan Chase was to award grants to the most deserving companies, and certainly not to the most dishonest companies. It is clear that voters in the general public would have developed their opinion of Chava Energy first of all from he information they would find on Chava Energy’s own website – including the claims regarding the pretended “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” engine development to be found there, which served to make Chava Energy seem more deserving of a grant than it really was. It is quite evident that Chava Energy presented false and dishonest claims and statements regarding their pretended “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” engine development in such a fraudulent manner that Chava Energy’s entry and competition in the “Mission Main Street” grants  contest was nothing less than an attempted swindle of JP Morgan Chase Corporation.
2.10.3.    During the year that has passed  since Chava Energy’s participation in the “Mission Main Street Grants” contest, has presented precisely NO EVIDENCE whatsoever that any “Fractional Hydrogen” engine development has ever taken place at Chava Energy.  In fact, in June 2014, Chava Energy removed from their website all of the statements that made any mention or reference to “Fractional Hydrogen” engine development – without a word of explanation. This is a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality Chava Energy had NEVER engaged at all in any “Fractional Hydrogen” engine development, as they had claimed for the previous five years.
2.11.    Chava Ebergy’s “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” Development Pretense
2.11.1.   During November of 2013, while Chava Energy was competing in the “Mission Main Street” contest for Small Business grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase, Chava Energy FALSELY and DISHONESTLY pretended in on their website that Chava Energy was developing an “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter.”
2.11.2.   The claims quoted in Section 3.4.3 below include a sentence taken from a certain Proposal by Chava Energy’s employee Cyril Smith, that leaves the impression that Chava had already created this magical device. In fact, Cyril Smith later wrote a Critique of his own proposal, and it was never “developed” at all.
2.11.3.   All of the claims regarding the pretended “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” development quoted in Section 3.4.3 below were still being presented on Chava Energy’s website in November 2013, when Chava Energy entered the “Mission Main Street”  contest for Small Business Grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. In order to win a grant in this contest, a company would need to receive 250 votes in its favor from the general public. The evident desire of JP Morgan Chase was to award grants to the most deserving companies, and certainly not to the most dishonest companies. It is clear that voters in the general public would have developed their opinion of Chava Energy first of all from he information they would find on Chava Energy’s own website – including the claims regarding the pretended “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” development to be found there, which served to make Chava Energy seem more deserving of a grant than it really was. It is quite evident that Chava Energy presented false and dishonest claims and statements regarding their pretended “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” development in such a fraudulent manner that Chava Energy’s entry and competition in the “Mission Main Street” grants  contest was nothing less than an attempted swindle of JP Morgan Chase Corporation.
2.11.4.    During the year that has passed  since Chava Energy’s participation in the “Mission Main Street Grants” contest, has presented precisely NO EVIDENCE whatsoever that any “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” development has ever taken place at Chava Energy.  In fact, in June 2014, Chava Energy removed from their website all of the statements that made any mention or reference to “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” development – without a word of explanation. This is a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality Chava Energy had NEVER engaged at all in any “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” development, as they had claimed for the previous five years.
2.12.   Chava Energy’s “Ultraconductor” Development Pretense
2.12.1.   During November of 2013, while Chava Energy was competing in the “Mission Main Street” contest for Small Business grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase, Chava Energy FALSELY and DISHONESTLY claimed on their website that Chava Energy was continuing “to develop and improve upon wire and cable using room temperature polymer superconductive materials,” along with many other false and dishonest statements regarding their pretended “Ultraconductor” development.
2.12.2.   In fact, although they pretended otherwise for several years, including 2013, the officers of Chava Energy knew very well that Chava Energy had never done any such development work at all, and was not “continuing” to do any such work at all.
2.12.3.   And in fact, although they pretended otherwise, the officers of Chava Energy also knew very well that their so-called “Ultraconductor” material was NOT superconductive. This fact was made abundantly clear in the reports on the “Ultraconductor” written by the officers’ previous company, Magnetic Power Inc.
2.12.4.    All of the statements regarding the pretended “Ultraconductor” development quoted below in Section 3.5.2  were still being presented on Chava Energy’s website in November 2013, when Chava Energy entered the “Mission Main Street”  contest for Small Business Grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. In order to win a grant in this contest, a company would need to receive 250 votes in its favor from the general public. The evident desire of JP Morgan Chase was to award grants to the most deserving companies, and certainly not to the most dishonest companies. It is clear that voters in the general public would have developed their opinion of Chava Energy first of all from he information they would find on Chava Energy’s own website – including the claims regarding the “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage system (UMES) to be found there, which served to make Chava Energy seem more deserving of a grant than it really was. It is quite evident that Chava Energy presented false and dishonest claims and statements regarding their pretended “UMES” development in such a fraudulent manner that Chava Energy’s entry and competition in the “Mission Main Street” grants  contest was nothing less than an attempted swindle of JP Morgan Chase Corporation.
2.12.5.    During the year that has passed  since Chava Energy’s participation in the “Mission Main Street Grants” contest, has presented precisely NO EVIDENCE whatsoever that any “Ultraconductor Wire” development has ever taken place at Chava Energy.  In fact, in June 2014, Chava Energy removed from their website all of the statements that made any mention or reference to “Ultraconductor” development – without a word of explanation. This is a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality Chava Energy had NEVER engaged at all in any “Ultraconductor” wire development, as they had claimed for the previous five years.
2.13   Chava Energy’s “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage (UMES)  Pretense
2.13.1.   Chava Energy’s claims regarding “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage (“UMES”) were fraudulent first of all because Chava Energy had never been “working towards achieving greater lengths of Ultraconductor Wire,” at all. They have only falsely claimed to be doing so, without ever actually doing any such work. The reference to “greater lengths of Ultraconductor Wire” misrepesents the true status of the “Ultraconductor” by giving the impression that at least a short “Ultraconductor” wire had already been developed – which is not true.  Goldes’ company MPI had worked with a film which they claimed to be “ultraconductive” to current across the thin dimension, but had never succeeded in making any “ultraconductive” wire, at all.
2.13.2.    All of the statements regarding pretended “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage system (UMES)  development quoted below in Section 3.6.3  were still being presented on Chava Energy’s website in November 2013, when Chava Energy entered the “Mission Main Street”  contest for Small Business Grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. In order to win a grant in this contest, a company would need to receive 250 votes in its favor from the general public. The evident desire of JP Morgan Chase was to award grants to the most deserving companies, and certainly not to the most dishonest companies. It is clear that voters in the general public would have developed their opinion of Chava Energy first of all from he information they would find on Chava Energy’s own website – including the claims regarding the “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage system (UMES) to be found there, which served to make Chava Energy seem more deserving of a grant than it really was. It is quite evident that Chava Energy presented false and dishonest claims and statements regarding their pretended “UMES” development in such a fraudulent manner that Chava Energy’s entry and competition in the “Mission Main Street” grants  contest was nothing less than an attempted swindle of JP Morgan Chase Corporation.
2.13.3.    During the year that has passed  since Chava Energy’s participation in the “Mission Main Street Grants” contest, has presented precisely NO EVIDENCE whatsoever that any “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage system (UMES)  development has ever taken place at Chava Energy.  In fact, in June 2014, Chava Energy removed from their website all of the statements that made any mention or reference to “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage system (UMES) development – without a word of explanation. This is a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality Chava Energy had NEVER engaged at all in any “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage system (UMES) wire development, as they had claimed for the previous five years.
2.14    In June 2014, all the claims and statements explicitly related to all but one of the five elaborate fraudulent pretenses mentioned above was suddenly removed from the Chava Energy website, never to be mentioned there again. The four packs of fraudcraft that were suddenly discarded included Chava Energy’s “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” Engine fraudcraft, their “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” fraudcraft, their “Ultraconductor” Wire fraudcraft, and their “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage (UMES) fraudcraft. The only pack of fraudcraft that Chava Energy did not remove was their “Zero Point Energy Generator” fraudcraft. (But even in this case, Chava Energy did remove references to two worthless patents, which Chava Energy had falsely presented as concepts utilizing Zero Point Energy.)
2.15    Chava Energy’s sudden removal from their website in June 2013 of ALL the content directly associated with the four claimed “revolutionary innovations” mentioned above, without a word of explanation, is a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality Chava Energy had never engaged at all in ANY such development of the four “breakthroughs” as they claimed on their website for the previous five years.
2.16    Chava Energy’s sudden removal from their website in June 2013 of all the content directly associated with their claimed “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” Engine, without a word of explanation, is a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality Chava Energy had never engaged at all in ANY such development of any “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” Engine as they claimed on their website for the previous five years.
2.17    Chava Energy’s sudden removal from their website in June 2013 of all the content directly associated with their claimed “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter,” without a word of explanation, is a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality Chava Energy had never engaged at all in ANY such development of any “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” as they claimed on their website for the previous five years.
2.18    Chava Energy’s sudden removal from their website in June 2013 of all the content directly associated with their claimed “Ultraconductor” Wire, without a word of explanation, is a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality Chava Energy had never engaged at all in ANY such development of any “Ultraconductor” Wire as they claimed on their website for the previous five years.
2.19    Chava Energy’s sudden removal from their website in June 2013 of all the content directly associated with their claimed “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage (UMES), without a word of explanation, is a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality Chava Energy had never engaged at all in ANY such development of any “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage (UMES) as they claimed on their website for the previous five years.
2.20    Chava Energy’s sudden removal from their website in June 2013 of all references to two worthless patents, which Chava Energy had previously presented as concepts tapping Zero Point Energyis a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality the officers of Chava Energy knew very well that the concepts did NOT represent devices that could possibly tap Zero Point Energy, and or serve as useful generators in any way, by any means at all.
2.21.      Chava Energy’s Continuing Use of False And Fraudulent Pretenses.

2.21.1   At the time in November 2013 when Chava Energy LLC was competing in the “Mission Main Street Grants” contest, Chava Energy’s website presented not only the many false claims and statements contained in the five packs of fraudcraft mentioned above, but also many additional more general statements, which did not refer to any specific claimed invention in particular. In fact, Chava Energy still presents these more general claims and statements on their website, and still continues to make use of them. Here are some examples of nonspecific general claims still presented by Chava Energy on their website:
“Chava Energy™ (Chava LLC) develops breakthrough energy solutions with the goal to dramatically reduce the need for fossil fuels and the associated economic, environmental, health, and geopolitical issues.”
“Our new energy solutions will be substantially less expensive than any other existing form of power generation by tapping energy from the 96% percent of our universe that is currently invisible (dark energy and matter). These sources include Zero-Point Energy (also called Quantum Energy, or Vacuum Energy).”
“We plan to enter the residential power market in a two-prong strategy. First, we are supplying consumers with small fuel-free devices covering most of the electricity demand in a typical household, while initially remaining connected to the existing power grid in a manner similar to many solar installations. After the initial trials are successfully completed, later generations of devices will be able to provide a grid-independent power supply to homes and apartments. These devices could be either purchased by the consumer or leased for a low monthly subscription fee.
“Automotive: Cars, trucks, buses, rail locomotives, RVs, electric-assisted bicycles, elderly person motive power, golf carts, scooters, electric motorcycles.
“Utilities: Utilities are constantly on the lookout for technologies that would enable them to build and operate power plants without the need of fossil or uranium fuels, producing renewable electricity at a much lower price point than any other alternative. It also eliminates the vast land-use and transmission/permitting problems that most other renewable power generation projects are faced with.”
Chava expects, within three years, of creating prototype Chava Energy™ conversion systems to provide power for automobiles. This eliminates the need for large batteries and for electrical recharging stations. That goal may be reached faster if our engineering development teams work on a 24/7 basis. The conversion systems will open a path to mass production of entirely new varieties of automotive power plants. Other industries will follow soon after the key markets of residential and automotive power.”
“Chava Energy™ is working in the same area as demonstrated by [Hans] Coler. Some of our generators may prove to be tapping Coler’s Space Energy source, now often referred to as Zero Point Energy (ZPE).”
“Chava Energy™ is developing new energy conversion devices that can be manufactured in many of the world’s underutilized factories, possibly creating many new jobs around the globe. These energy devices can be used to power homes and businesses and turn cars, trucks, buses, and ships and eventually aircraft, into portable power plants. Our goal is to replace conventional engines or expensive batteries, eliminating the need for recharging or using any fuels for operation.”
“Our advanced designs will soon be capable of producing torque and/or electricity on a self-sustaining basis.”
“Our energy conversion modules are designed to be easy to use, inexpensive and capable of rapid manufacturing, thus making a positive global impact. They have the potential to catalyze, with a kick start, a world economic recovery.”
2.21.2    The general claims and statements quoted above are FALSE, DISHONEST, and FRAUDULENT.
Chava Energy has never developed any “breakthrough energy solution” such as they claim.
-Chava Energy has never developed, and is not developing any “energy solutions” that tap Zero Point Energy.
Chava Energy has never developed, and is not developing, any such “small fuel-free devices” as they claim.These claims represent a false and fraudulent pretense, and nothing more at all.
Chava Energy is not developing any such “new energy conversion devices” as they claim.
Chava Energy does not have any generators that could possibly “tap” Zero Point Energy.
Chava has no such “designs” and “breakthrough solutions” as they claim in their statements.
Chava Energy has never developed, and not developing, any such “energy conversion modules” as they claim.

2.22    SUMMATION.
2.22.3    To pretend for five years by way of Chava Energy’s website that his company Chava Energy was developing patented devices that “tap Zero Point Energy,” as Hagen Ruff has done as CEO of Chava Energy, even though he knew very well that no such development was occurring, is precisely the conduct of a DISHONEST CHARLATAN.
2.22.4    To pretend for five years by way of Chava Energy’s website that his company Chava Energy was developing “Fractional Hydrogen” engines fueled by water, as Hagen Ruff has done as CEO of Chava Energy, even though he knew very well that no such development was occurring, is precisely the conduct of a DISHONEST CHARLATAN.
2.22.5   To pretend for five years by way of Chava Energy’s website that his company Chava Energy was developing “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Convertors,” as Hagen Ruff has done as CEO of Chava Energy, even though he knew very well that no such development was occurring, is precisely the conduct of a DISHONEST CHARLATAN.
2.22.6   To pretend for five years by way of Chava Energy’s website that his company Chava Energy was developing superconductive “Ultraconductor” Wire, as Hagen Ruff has done as CEO of Chava Energy, even though he knew very well that no such development was occurring, is precisely the conduct of a DISHONEST CHARLATAN.
2.22.7  To pretend for five years by way of Chava Energy’s website that his company Chava Energy was developing superconductive “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage systems, as Hagen Ruff has done as CEO of Chava Energy, even though he knew very well that no such development was occurring, is precisely the conduct of a DISHONEST CHARLATAN.
2.22.8   To attempt to win a large grant from JP Morgan Chase Corporation, by presenting to the general public a great number of entirely false and dishonest claims of pretended “revolutionary breakthrough” development at his company Chava Energy, even though he knew very well that no such development was occurring, is precisely the conduct of an UNSCRUPULOUS CON ARTIST and SWINDLER.
2.22.16.    In October and November of 2013, Chava Energy LLC attempted to DECEIVE, DEFRAUD and SWINDLE not only the JP Morgan Chase corporation, but also the GENERAL PUBLIC, in that they attempted to win a “Mission Main Street” Small Business Grant in a fraudulent manner, by FRAUDULENTLY DECEIVING not only the JP Morgan Chase corporation, but members of the GENERAL PUBLIC as well.
2.22.17.   Chava Energy has furthermore continually DECEIVED the GENERAL PUBLIC for over five years, by falsely pretending to be developing innovative and transformational “revolutionary breakthroughs” which could provide an alternative to fossil fuels, even though precisely NONE of Chava Energy’s pretended “breakthroughs” is anything more than an utterly worthless, false, dishonest, and fraudulent pretense.

Section 3:  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Supporting SUBSTANTIATION.
Note: We use the term “fraudcraft” to mean: claims, statements or artifacts contrived, formulated, produced, or used for the purpose of constructing an elaborate fraudulent pretense.
3.1.       Chava Energy’s Attempted Swindle Of JP Morgan Chase Corporation
In October and November of 2013, Chava Energy LLC attempted to defraud and swindle JP Morgan Chase to the value of $150,000, by making fraudulent use of no less than five different elaborate fraudulent pretenses in the course of competing in JP Morgan Chase’s “Mission Main Street Grants” contest for small business grants. At the time when Chava Energy entered this contest, Chava Energy was still utilizing and featuring on their website the same five packs of fraudcraft which they had presented to the public since 2009. In June 2014, all the material regarding all but one of these five elaborate fraudulent pretenses was suddenly removed from the Chava Energy website, never to be mentioned there again. The four packs of fraudcraft that were suddenly discarded included Chava Energy’s “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” Engine fraudcraft, their “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” fraudcraft, their “Ultraconductor” Wire fraudcraft, and their “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage (UMES) fraudcraft. The only pack of fraudcraft that Chava Energy did not remove was their “Zero Point Energy Generator” fraudcraft. (But even in this case, Chava Energy did remove references to two worthless patents, which Chava Energy had falsely presented as concepts utilizing Zero Point Energy.) Since Chava Energy didn’t win any grant in the “Mission Main Street” contest, their utilization of five different elaborate fraudulent pretenses while  participating in the contest did not result in a completed swindle – it only involved an attempted swindle.

3.2.       Chava Energy’s First And Second “MagGen” ZPE Generator Fraudcraft
3.2.1    Chava Energy’s ZPE GENERATOR fraud consists of soliciting and obtaining investments and grants in a blatantly fraudulent manner, making use in particular of the elaborate set of false pretenses, false statements, false claims and empty promises to be found in Chava Energy’s “Zero Point Energy Generator” fraudcraft, involving their so-called “MagGen” concepts.
Chava Energy for five years referred to two devices proposed by Graham Gunderson as “MagGen” magnetic generators, falsely and fraudulently claiming that they would provide electric power by “tapping Zero Point Energy,” and that Chava Energy would create “MagGen” prototypes “to provide power for automobiles” “within three years.”
3.2.2      Here are some of the claims and statements regarding Chava Energy’s pretended “MagGen” breakthroughs,” that Chava Energy was still presenting on their website during November 2013, while competing in JP Morgan Chase Corporation’s “Mission Main Street Grants” contest:
“Our MagGen™ magnetic generators convert abundant, ambient and renewable energy sources that exist everywhere in the universe. Power Units can be small and lightweight, and made from non-toxic materials.”
“MagGen™: The Chava Magnetic Generator (MagGen™) breakthroughs offer several alternate routes to tapping the energy of quantum noise (Zero Point Energy) via the magnetic spin moment.”
“Chava has two U.S. Patents patents aimed at commercialization under the trademark of MagGen™. Patents #7,830,065 and #8,093,869 cover solid-state (no moving parts) magnetic generators. An early prototype produced an output, at a very low power level, of more than 100 times the input.
“The first patent titled ‘Solid State Electric Generator,’ was issued Nov 9,2010. The second titled ‘Apparatus for Generating Electricity…’ issued January 10,2012. Several prototypes of more advanced devices have been built and an additional, very broad, patent application has also been filed. All power generation modules can be combined, in a manner similar to solar cells, to provide larger amounts of power. We expect to file an additional thirty (30) patents over the next three (3) years for various magnetic power device designs.”
“Chava expects, within three years, of creating prototype Chava Energy™ conversion systems to provide power for automobiles.”
“Several prototypes of more advanced devices have been built and thirty (30) additional patents are expected to be filed over the next thirty-six (36) months for various families of magnetic power devices.”
“RESIDENTIAL GENERATORS for off-grid customers will be an early market product. Today, generators are typically powered by gasoline. In the aftermath of disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and typhoons, power is often unavailable; such early devices, without requiring fuel, will make a crucial difference. Mobile power generators will be a key resource for government emergency agencies and rural communities.
“Chava expects, within three years, of creating prototype Chava Energy™ conversion systems to provide power for automobiles. This eliminates the need for large batteries and for electrical recharging stations. That goal may be reached faster if our engineering development teams work on a 24/7 basis. The conversion systems will open a path to mass production of entirely new varieties of automotive power plants. Other industries will follow soon after the key markets of residential and automotive power.
To avoid confusion, we will refer to the first “MagGen” as MagGen-20060163971, and the second “MagGen” as MagGen-8093869.
3.2.3    In fact, neither of the two patents referenced above involve devices that could ever “tap Zero Point Energy” at all. Neither of the patents even mention Zero Point Energy. Neither of the patents describe devices that ever serve as useful “energy conversions systems” as claimed by Chava. As in every case of pretense by Chava, Chava has merely repeated the same empty claims year after year, without ever producing or presenting any device or any evidence of development.
3.2.4.    All of the claims regarding the pretended “MagGen” Zero Point Energy Generator development quoted above were still being presented on Chava Energy’s website in November 2013, when Chava Energy entered the “Mission Main Street”  contest for Small Business Grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. In order to win a grant in this contest, a company would need to receive 250 votes in its favor from the general public. The evident desire of JP Morgan Chase was to award grants to the most deserving companies, and certainly not to the most dishonest companies. It is clear that voters in the general public would have developed their opinion of Chava Energy first of all from he information they would find on Chava Energy’s own website – including the claims regarding the pretended “MagGen” Zero Point Energy Generator development to be found there, which served to make Chava Energy seem more deserving of a grant than it really was. It is quite evident that Chava Energy presented false and dishonest claims and statements regarding their pretended “MagGen” Zero Point Energy Generator development in such a fraudulent manner that Chava Energy’s entry and competition in the “Mission Main Street” grants  contest was nothing less than an attempted swindle of JP Morgan Chase Corporation.

3.3.    Chava Energy’s “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” Engine Fraudcraft
3.3.1.   Chava Energy’s “FRACTIONAL HYDROGEN” ENGINE fraud consisted in soliciting and obtaining investments and grants in a blatantly fraudulent manner, making use in particular of the elaborate set of false pretenses, false statements, false claims and empty promises to be found in their “Energy from Collapsing Hydrogen” fraudcraft, involving their make-believe so-called “SPICE” engine.
3.3.2.   Here are some of the claims and statements regarding Chava Energy’s pretended “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” engine development, that Chava Energy was still presenting on their website during November 2013, while competing in JP Morgan Chase Corporation’s “Mission Main Street Grants” contest:
“Energy from Collapsing Hydrogen Orbits – ECHO™ makes possible a Self Powered Internal Combustion Engine – SPICE™
 
Chava uses the terms f/H for fractional Hydrogen and for commercial purposes ECHO™ – Energy from Collapsing Hydrogen Orbits. Converting Hydrogen to f/H releases hundreds of times the power of Hydrogen combustion with oxygen.
“The energy released from the conversion of one barrel of Hydrogen to fractional Hydrogen is equal to the energy from burning 200 barrels of oil.
“Conversion of Hydrogen to fractional Hydrogen releases hundreds of times more energy than achievable by burning Hydrogen, though not as much energy from a nuclear reaction. However the energy released by conversion to fractional hydrogen is completely safe and does not generate any radioactive products or other hazards from nuclear reactions. Furthermore, the cost will be far lower than from fossil fueled or nuclear plants. ECHO systems may dramatically accelerate independence from fossil fuels.
“Chava work with fractional quantum states of Hydrogen has opened a path to a new concept we call SPICE — Self Powered Internal Combustion Engine.
“A Self Powered Internal Combustion Engine – SPICE, will open a cost-competitive alternative to fossil fuels and nuclear power. Importantly, it can be sized for use in automotive applications. By implementing a revolutionary clean technology as a retrofit for current car engines we can make a very large impact quickly – eliminating pollution from burning fuel in cars and producing a lot of clean energy cheaply. With engines able to run using small amounts of water in a clean and safe way, we can now leave cars running when appropriately parked, as mobile power plants delivering electricity to the grid. Owners with SPICE powered cars would produce far more power than they need to run their homes. SPICE powered cars and trucks could also power places where we work.
“A SPICE in a hybrid car is expected to have a fuel requirement of only one gallon of water for each 1,000 miles of driving… Imagine the positive impact on the economy and the environment of future cars, trucks and buses that need no conventional fuel or recharge, and can pay for themselves over time. This can become a near-term and less expensive alternative to building new coal burning or nuclear power plants.”
3.3.3.     Here is what the physicist Andreas Rathke had to say in 2005 about Mills’ theory of “Classical Quantum Mechanics,” on which both Mills’ “hydrinos” and Chava Energy’s “fractional hydrogen” are supposedly based:
“In this paper, we have considered the theoretical foundations of the hydrino hypothesis, both within the theoretical framework of CQM, in which hydrinos were originally suggested, and within standard quantum mechanics. We found that CQM is inconsistent and has several serious deficiencies. Amongst these are the failure to reproduce the energy levels of the excited states of the hydrogen atom, and the absence of Lorentz invariance. Most importantly, we found that CQM does not predict the existence of hydrino states! Also, standard quantum mechanics cannot encompass hydrino states, with the properties currently attributed to them. Hence there remains no theoretical support of the hydrino hypothesis.”
In other words, not only has Randell Mills’ theory of “Classical Quantum Mechanics” been shown beyond doubt to be false , but it does not even support Mills’ theory of “hydrino” hydrogen states, as Mills would have us believe. There are no “hydrino” states, or “fractional hydrogen” states as Chava Energy calls them. The whole idea is nothing more than a heap of flimflam, that a charlatan may use to swindle nitwits.
In fact, Chava Energy never did any actual work in this direction, at all.  They merely claimed  and pretended to be doing so – as usual.
3.3.4.    All of the claims regarding the pretended “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” engine development quoted above were still being presented on Chava Energy’s website in November 2013, when Chava Energy entered the “Mission Main Street”  contest for Small Business Grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. In order to win a grant in this contest, a company would need to receive 250 votes in its favor from the general public. The evident desire of JP Morgan Chase was to award grants to the most deserving companies, and certainly not to the most dishonest companies. It is clear that voters in the general public would have developed their opinion of Chava Energy first of all from he information they would find on Chava Energy’s own website – including the claims regarding the pretended “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” engine development to be found there, which served to make Chava Energy seem more deserving of a grant than it really was. It is quite evident that Chava Energy presented false and dishonest claims and statements regarding their pretended “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” engine development in such a fraudulent manner that Chava Energy’s entry and competition in the “Mission Main Street” grants  contest was nothing less than an attempted swindle of JP Morgan Chase Corporation.

3.4.         Chava Energy’s “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” Fraudcraft
3.4.1.     Chava Energy’s AMBIENT TEMPERATURE THERMIONIC CONVERTOR fraud consisted of soliciting and obtaining investments and grants in a blatantly fraudulent manner, making use in particular of the elaborate set of false pretenses, false statements, false claims and empty promises to be found in Chava Energy’s “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Convertor” fraudcraft.
3.4.2.    The most minimal of the Goldes-Ruff fraudcraftings, their “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” apparently never included much more than a few sentences on the Chava Energy website, based on a brief Proposal by Cyril Smith.
3.4.3.    Here are some of the claims and statements regarding Chava Energy’s pretended “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” development, that Chava Energy was still presenting on their website during November 2013, while competing in JP Morgan Chase Corporation’s “Mission Main Street Grants” contest:
“Chava’s thermionic converter design extracts ambient heat from the environment and converts this into useable electrical energy.”
“Chava is planning to introduce a thermionic converter which will extract ambient heat from the environment and efficiently convert this heat into electrical energy.
“At first sight it appears that this system is prohibited by the laws of physics. No power is supplied but, as if by magic, the system pumps heat and transfers it into an electrical load.
“Recent work supports this idea. Xin Yong Fu and Zi Tao Fu at Jiao Tong University, in Shanghai, performed an experiment described in their paper: Realization of Maxwell’s Hypothesis.
“With no magnetic field present, although electrons thermally emitted from one electrode can reach the other, by symmetry the reverse reaction is true and no detectable current flows. However when a magnetic field was applied current flow from one electrode to the other was observed.
“But, where the Chinese device produced only tiny current from the thermal emissions, the Chava AHE Thermionic device is expected to produce significantly higher current, hence much greater power levels.”
The fraudcraft above – recently removed from chavaenergy.com – quotes a sentence from a certain Proposal by Cyril Smith that leaves the impression that Chava had already created this magical device. In fact, Cyril Smith later wrote a Critique of his own proposal, and it was never “developed” at all.
3.4.4.    All of the claims regarding the pretended “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” development quoted above were still being presented on Chava Energy’s website in November 2013, when Chava Energy entered the “Mission Main Street”  contest for Small Business Grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. In order to win a grant in this contest, a company would need to receive 250 votes in its favor from the general public. The evident desire of JP Morgan Chase was to award grants to the most deserving companies, and certainly not to the most dishonest companies. It is clear that voters in the general public would have developed their opinion of Chava Energy first of all from he information they would find on Chava Energy’s own website – including the claims regarding the pretended “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” development to be found there, which served to make Chava Energy seem more deserving of a grant than it really was. It is quite evident that Chava Energy presented false and dishonest claims and statements regarding their pretended “Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter” development in such a fraudulent manner that Chava Energy’s entry and competition in the “Mission Main Street” grants  contest was nothing less than an attempted swindle of JP Morgan Chase Corporation.

3.5.         Chava Energy’s “Ultraconductor” Fraudcraft
3.5.1.   Chava Energy’s “ULTRACONDUCTOR” fraud consisted in soliciting and obtaining investments and grants in a blatantly fraudulent manner, making use in particular of the set of false pretenses, false statements, false claims and empty promises to be found in their “Ultraconductor” fraudcraft. Just like their other packs of fraudcraft, the “Ultraconductor” pack came from Mark Goldes’ company Magnetic Power Inc.
For at least one quarter of 2008, Magnetic Power Inc. itself listed Hagen Ruff as the CEO of Magnetic Power Inc. But the company then went out of business. Goldes and Ruff became the co-founders of their new company Chava Energy LLC, which listed Hagen Ruff as CEO and Mark Goldes as “Chief Market Research Officer.” But in fact Chava Energy had nothing to sell. In reality, Mark Goldes’ activity consistd of soliciting investments from investors, not in doing “Market Research.”
The great high points of Mark Goldes’ career in fraudcraft were the obtaining of four Small Business Innovative Research grants from the Unites States Air Force, which cost taxpayers roughly a half million dollars. In the fourteen years since the conclusion of the fourth project, Goldes’ companies have evidently made no further progress in this area, at all – but that has not stopped Goldes from pretending that Magnetic Power Inc, or Chava Energy LLC, or “Aesop Institute” will be making Revolutionary Breakthroughs involving “Ultraconductors” as soon as you give them your money.  In fact, MPI’s own reports on the Ultraconductor grant projects consist of a succession of rosy and wonderful claims and predictions which went entirely unfulfilled by following projects, and remain unfulfilled today.
It is important to understand that the “Ultraconductor” film was only ever claimed to be “ultraconductive” to current across the thin dimension of the film – and not along the extensive dimensions. Therefore a strip cut from the film could not function as an “ultraconductive” wire. But MPI’s great claim for years was that they would nonetheless somehow develop a way to to make “ultraconductive” wire. They never did so.  MPI asserted that they would develop a way make the thin “ultraconductive” film thicker – and never did so. MPI asserted that their enrichment method would become the key to making thicker film and wire – but the method never did so.  MPI asserted that their “Ultraconductor” film would surely prove wonderfully useful for making thermoelectric devices – but once again, the rosy claims went unfulfilled. MPI asserted that they would obtain “ultraconductivity” along the plane of the film, instead of merely across the thin dimension, by repositioning the supposedly “ultraconductive” channels. They never did so.
The USAF never “validated” Goldes’ so-called “Ultraconductors” at all, and the USAF never gave Goldes any procurement contract for any “Ultraconductors” at all. The four research grants that Goldes obtained from the USAF were a waste of taxpayer money which never resulted in the development of anything of any value. Goldes’ degree of honesty in the matter of the “Ultraconductor” grants is just the same as his degree of honesty regarding all of his other make-believe “breakthroughs.” It is zero. Zero honesty. Zero “breakthroughs.” Zero fulfilment of his endless empty claims – as usual.
Chava Energy’s “Ultraconductor” fraudcraft was fraudulent first of all because Chava Energy has never done any development work with the so-called “Ultraconductor” film and therefore has never “continued to develop” the film at all, even though they pretended otherwise for five years. Just as Goldes had done at MPI, Chava Energy misrepresented the true prospects of the “Ultraconductor” material, which had never been found or made useful for any purpose, despite the substantial research funding that MPI had received in the nineties.
Mark Goldes was ejected from Chava Energy LLC during the fall of 2014 by Chava Energy’s other co-founder, Hagen Ruff; and all the rosy fraudcraft regarding “Ultraconductors” and “Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage” was suddenly removed from the Chava Energy website. Hagen Ruff had chosen to drop the fraudulent empty pretense of ongoing “Ultraconductor” development that he and Goldes had carried on at Chava Energy for five years – along with the other fraudulent empty pretenses discussed above.
The reports themselves show that the so-called “Ultraconductors” are not “equivalent” to superconductors, since they do not show zero electrical resistance. That is why Mark Goldes needed to invent the name “Ultraconductor” in the first place.
For five years until June 2014, Chava Energy continued the pretense that “Ultraconductor” development “is resuming”  at Chava Energy. But after Goldes was ejected from Chava Energy in July 2014, all mention of the “Ultraconductor” pretense was suddenly removed from the Chava Energy website. This is a very strong indicator of the fact that in reality no work at all on “Ultraconductor” Wire development had ever been done at Chava Energy during the five years that Chava Energy pretended otherwise.
3.5.2.    Here are some of the claims and statements regarding Chava Energy’s pretended “Ultraconductor” Wire development, that Chava Energy was still presenting on their website during November 2013, while competing in JP Morgan Chase Corporation’s “Mission Main Street Grants” contest:
“Our patented Ultraconductor™ technology provides revolutionary zero resistivity conductive at room temperature polymer materials. Their behavior is identical to that of superconductors, but without the need for cryogenic cooling. “
“ULTRACONDUCTOR™ defined: An electrical conductor, similar to present-day superconductors, having zero measurable electrical resistance in one dimension. They consist of organic polymers that exhibit electrical resistance much lower than the best metallic conductors and are considered a novel state of matter.
“Ultraconductors™ are patented materials being developed for commercial applications with the support of Chava Energy and are the subject of a landmark U.S. Patent 5,777,292, U.S. Patent 6,804,105  and equivalent patents pending worldwide.
“Ultraconductors™ are the result of more than 16 years of prior scientific research, peer-reviewed publication, independent laboratory testing, and 8 years of engineering development. From an engineering perspective, Ultraconductors™ are a fundamentally new and enabling technology, a ‘re lightweight, flexible, transparent medium possessing magnetic, electric, and electronic properties with exceptionally high commercial value. This technology was independently reproduced for the United States Air Force. Chava Energy continues to develop and improve upon wire and cable using room temperature polymer superconductive materials.
“Ultraconductor™ polymers are the only known materials of their kind and our proprietary technology includes the materials, means of fabrication, and application types. Ultimately, Ultraconductors™ offer unprecedented high performance and energy efficiency across a very broad range of products. They are made by the sequential processing of amorphous polar dielectric elastomers.
“Ultraconductors™ exhibit a set of anomalous magnetic and electric properties, including: very high electrical conductivity (> 1011 S/cm -1) and current densities (> 5 x 108 A/cm2), over a wide temperature range (1.8 to 700 K).
“The Ultraconductor™ properties are measured in discrete macromolecular structures which form over time after the processing. In present thin films (1 – 100 micron thickness) these structures, called ‘channels’, are typically 1 – 2 microns in diameter and 10 – 1000 microns apart.
“Using Ultraconductors™ for chip connectors solve a major technical issue for the semiconductor industry – one that still relies upon solder bumps to connect chips, further limiting chip size reduction. Our approach will promote the ability to create smaller chip designs that generate less heat.
“Ultraconductor Wire™ can be made by extending a channel to indefinite length. The technique has been demonstrated in principle. Connections between conducting structures is done with a metal electrode: when two channels are brought together they connect.
“From an engineering point of view, in many applications Ultraconductors can replace copper wire and current high temperature superconductors (which still require liquid nitrogen for cooling) . “
3.5.3.   Most of the claims contained in Chava Energy’s statements quoted above are false, dishonest, and fraudulent.
Chava Energy’s claims are false and dishonest first of all because they indicate that “Ultraconductor” development started by MPI was continuing at Chava Energy LLC. In fact, during the five years that Chava Energy pretended to be continuing to “develop and improve upon wire and cable using room temperature polymer superconductive materials,” Chava Energy never did any such development work at all.
The claims presented were also false and dishonest in that they greatly misrepresented the properties of the “Ultraconductor” material and its degree of potential usefulness, as known to Chava Energy from the SBIR reports produced by Magnetic Power Inc.
3.5.4.    All of the statements regarding “Ultraconductor” development quoted above were still being presented on Chava Energy’s website in November 2013, when Chava Energy entered the “Mission Main Street”  contest for Small Business Grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. In order to win a grant in this contest, a company would need to receive 250 votes in its favor from the general public. The evident desire of JP Morgan Chase was to award grants to the most deserving companies, and certainly not to the most dishonest companies. It is clear that voters in the general public would have developed their opinion of Chava Energy first of all from he information they would find on Chava Energy’s own website – including the claims regarding the “Ultraconductor” to be found there, which served to make Chava Energy seem more deserving of a grant than it really was. It is quite evident that Chava Energy presented false and dishonest claims and statements regarding their pretended “Ultraconductor” development in such a fraudulent manner that Chava Energy’s entry and competition in the “Mission Main Street” grants  contest was nothing less than an attempted swindle of JP Morgan Chase Corporation.

3.6.         Chava Energy’s “UMES” Fraudcraft
3.6.1.     Chava Energy’s “UMES” fraud consists of soliciting and obtaining investments and grants in a blatantly fraudulent manner, making use in particular of the set of false pretenses, false statements, false claims and empty promises to be found in their “Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage” fraudcraft.
3.6.2.    Even though neither MPI nor Chava Energy ever presented the slightest fulfillment of their endless claims to be on the verge of creating any “Ultraconductor” wire, and even though the creation of “Ultraconductor” wire would be a prerequisite for developing any Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage (UMES) system , that didn’t stop Chava Energy from pretending that they were already developing the UMES system. After all, if they could develop a “Fractional Hydrogen” engine utilizing a type of hydrogen that doesn’t exist, and cannot exist, why shouldn’t they be able to develop an energy storage system utilizing a type of wire that doesn’t exist?
Chava Energy’s claims regarding “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage (“UMES”) were fraudulent first of all because Chava Energy had never been “working towards achieving greater lengths of Ultraconductor Wire,” at all. They have only falsely claimed to be doing so, without ever actually doing any such work. The reference to “greater lengths of Ultraconductor Wire” misrepesents the true status of the “Ultraconductor” by giving the impression that at least a short “Ultraconductor” wire had already been developed – which is not true.  Goldes’ company MPI had worked with a film which they claimed to be “ultraconductive” to current across the thin dimension, but had never succeeded in making any “ultraconductive” wire, at all.
3.6.3.    Here are some of the claims and statements regarding Chava Energy’s pretended “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage (“UMES”) development, that Chava Energy was still presenting on their website during November 2013, while competing in JP Morgan Chase Corporation’s “Mission Main Street Grants” contest:
“Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) systems store energy in the magnetic field of a superconducting coil. Direct Current flow in a superconducting coil creates the magnetic field and will last forever while the coil is cryogenically cooled to a temperature below its superconductive critical temperature.
“A typical SMES system includes three parts: superconducting coil; power conditioning system; and cryogenically cooled refrigerator. Once the superconducting coil is charged, the current will not decay and the magnetic energy can be stored indefinitely.
“The stored energy can be released by discharging the coil. Because of its superconductive ability, SMES systems are highly efficient with the least amount of electricity loss in the transfer process compared to other currently known or utilized methods of energy storage.
“However, the requirement for cryogenic cooling makes SMES systems very expensive and often impracticable.
“Chava’s Ultraconductor technology eliminates the need for cryogenic cooling since our proprietary conductive polymer material is superconductive at room temperature.
“Chava’s is working towards achieving greater lengths of Ultraconductor Wire™ from which a room temperature Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage (UMES™) system can be made.
“UMES™ systems could be stacked and linked together to provide major utilities and industrial plant sites with efficient and cost effective energy storage. This allows for better planning for energy uses during the day and night without impacting present day power generation processes and would have substantial positive impact on lowering carbon footprints.
“In time, it is anticipated that UMES systems could be made small enough to be usable in numerous applications where peak energy demands are unpredictable or sporadic, such as in transportation systems like trains, marine vessels, automobiles, air transport.”
3.6.4.    All of the statements regarding pretended “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage system (UMES) development quoted above were still being presented on Chava Energy’s website in November 2013, when Chava Energy entered the “Mission Main Street”  contest for Small Business Grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. In order to win a grant in this contest, a company would need to receive 250 votes in its favor from the general public. The evident desire of JP Morgan Chase was to award grants to the most deserving companies, and certainly not to the most dishonest companies. It is clear that voters in the general public would have developed their opinion of Chava Energy first of all from he information they would find on Chava Energy’s own website – including the claims regarding the “Ultraconductor” Magnetic Energy Storage system (UMES) to be found there, which served to make Chava Energy seem more deserving of a grant than it really was. It is quite evident that Chava Energy presented false and dishonest claims and statements regarding their pretended “UMES” development in such a fraudulent manner that Chava Energy’s entry and competition in the “Mission Main Street” grants  contest was nothing less than an attempted swindle of JP Morgan Chase Corporation.

3.7.      Non-Specific False And Dishonest Claims By Chava Energy.

3.7.1.   During November 2013, while Chava Energy was competing in JP Morgan Chase’s “Mission Main Street Grants” contest, the Chava Energy website presented not only the many false and dishonest claims and statements explicitly focused on specific pretended “revolutionary breakthroughs” mentioned above, but also many additional false and dishonest claims of a more general nature, that were not explicitly associated with any one of their claimed “innovations” in particular.  These more general claims were just as false as the more specific ones, since in fact Chava Energy has never developed, was developing, and is not developing any such “breakthrough energy solution” at all, as they claimed in their many statements.
3.7.2.   Now we examine some of some of the false and dishonest non-specific claims that Chava Energy presented on their website in 2013, while competing for a grant from JP Morgan Chase:
“Chava Energy™ (Chava LLC) develops breakthrough energy solutions with the goal to dramatically reduce the need for fossil fuels and the associated economic, environmental, health, and geopolitical issues.”
- But Chava Energy has never developed any “breakthrough energy solution.” They have only pretended to be doing so.
“Our new energy solutions will be substantially less expensive than any other existing form of power generation by tapping energy from the 96% percent of our universe that is currently invisible (dark energy and matter). These sources include Zero-Point Energy (also called Quantum Energy, or Vacuum Energy).”
- But Chava Energy is not developing any “energy solutions” that tap Zero Point Energy.
Under Key Target Markets,” Chava Energy states:
“We plan to enter the residential power market in a two-prong strategy. First, we are supplying consumers with small fuel-free devices covering most of the electricity demand in a typical household, while initially remaining connected to the existing power grid in a manner similar to many solar installations. After the initial trials are successfully completed, later generations of devices will be able to provide a grid-independent power supply to homes and apartments. These devices could be either purchased by the consumer or leased for a low monthly subscription fee.
“Automotive: Cars, trucks, buses, rail locomotives, RVs, electric-assisted bicycles, elderly person motive power, golf carts, scooters, electric motorcycles.
“Utilities: Utilities are constantly on the lookout for technologies that would enable them to build and operate power plants without the need of fossil or uranium fuels, producing renewable electricity at a much lower price point than any other alternative. It also eliminates the vast land-use and transmission/permitting problems that most other renewable power generation projects are faced with.”
- But Chava Energy has never developed, and is not developing, any such “small fuel-free devices.” These claims represent a false and fraudulent pretense, and nothing more at all.
Under “Our Energy Solutions,” Chava says:
Chava expects, within three years, of creating prototype Chava Energy™ conversion systems to provide power for automobiles. This eliminates the need for large batteries and for electrical recharging stations. That goal may be reached faster if our engineering development teams work on a 24/7 basis. The conversion systems will open a path to mass production of entirely new varieties of automotive power plants. Other industries will follow soon after the key markets of residential and automotive power.”
Under “Revolutionary Energy Breakthroughs,” Chava Energy states:
“Chava Energy™ is working in the same area as demonstrated by [Hans] Coler. Some of our generators may prove to be tapping Coler’s Space Energy source, now often referred to as Zero Point Energy (ZPE).”
- But Chava Energy does not have any generators that could be tapping Zero Point Energy, and Hagen Ruff certainly knows that Chava Energy does not have any such generators.
“Chava Energy™ is developing new energy conversion devices that can be manufactured in many of the world’s underutilized factories, possibly creating many new jobs around the globe. These energy devices can be used to power homes and businesses and turn cars, trucks, buses, and ships and eventually aircraft, into portable power plants. Our goal is to replace conventional engines or expensive batteries, eliminating the need for recharging or using any fuels for operation.”
- But in fact Chava Energy is not developing any such “new energy conversion devices.” They are only pretending – just as they pretended for five years to be developing “Ultraconductor” wire and “Ultraconductor” energy storage systems before finally dropping the pretense quite recently, having never done any such work at all.
“Our advanced designs will soon be capable of producing torque and/or electricity on a self-sustaining basis.”
- In fact, Chava has no designs that will ever be capable of any such thing – as Hagen Ruff knows very well. If Hagen Ruff believed he had any such advance designs, why would he want to go into the wind turbine business?
“Our energy conversion modules are designed to be easy to use, inexpensive and capable of rapid manufacturing, thus making a positive global impact. They have the potential to catalyze, with a kick start, a world economic recovery.”
- But Chava Energy has never developed, and not developing, any such modules with any such potential.
3.7.3.    All of the nonspecific claims regarding pretended “breakthrough energy solutions” development quoted above were still being presented on Chava Energy’s website in November 2013, when Chava Energy entered the “Mission Main Street”  contest for Small Business Grants to be awarded by JP Morgan Chase. In order to win a grant in this contest, a company would need to receive 250 votes in its favor from the general public. The evident desire of JP Morgan Chase was to award grants to the most deserving companies, and certainly not to the most dishonest companies. It is clear that voters in the general public would have developed their opinion of Chava Energy first of all from he information they would find on Chava Energy’s own website – including the claims regarding unspecified “breakthrough energy solutions” to be found there, which served to make Chava Energy seem more deserving of a grant than it really was. It is quite evident that Chava Energy presented false and dishonest claims and statements regarding their pretended unspecified “breakthrough” development in such a fraudulent manner that Chava Energy’s entry and competition in the “Mission Main Street” grants  contest was nothing less than an attempted swindle of JP Morgan Chase Corporation.

IPRB Prepares Class-Action Suit Against Huffington Post On Behalf Of HP Readers Swindled By Mark Goldes’ AESOP Institute

Abstract.
Mark Goldes’ so-called “AESOP Institute” is merely the latest elaborate fraud, in a long series of elaborate frauds operated by Goldes over the past forty years.  Having abandoned several worn-out packs of fraudcraft used in previous years – such as his make-believe water-fueled “SPICE” engine, his  “Virtual Photon Flux” generator, and his ludicrous horn-powered “POWERGENIE” generator – Goldes now concentrates his swindling efforts on just three remaining swindles: his “NO FUEL PISTON ENGINE” swindle, his “FUEL-FREE TURBINE” swindle, and his “ULTRACONDUCTOR” swindle. Although the three swindles make use of three different packs of fraudcraft,  they all consist in soliciting and obtaining loans and donations by means of false and fraudulent claims and pretenses.

1.    Introduction.
1.1   Mark Goldes deceives and swindles gullible people by obtaining loans from them in a fraudulent manner, making use of false and empty pretenses that his so-called “Aesop Institute” is making “revolutionary breakthroughs” based on “astonishing new science.” In fact, “Aesop Institute” is simply an elaborate fraud – just like Goldes’ previous companies, Magnetic Power Inc and Chava Energy LLC.
Since Goldes has no “new science” and is certainly not making any “revolutionary breakthroughs,” he has no way to repay any loans except by obtaining new loans. If the loans were ever actually repaid, Goldes’ practice would be a Ponzi scheme. In the vast majority of cases, however, the loans are simply never repaid at all.

1.2    The professional charlatan Mark Goldes, starting in the mid-seventies, engaged for several years in the pretense that his company SunWind Ltd was developing a nearly production-ready, freeway-capable, wind-powered “windmobile,” based on the windmobile created by James Amick; and that therefore SunWind would be a wonderful investment opportunity.
After SunWind “dried up” in 1983, Goldes embarked on the long-running pretense that his company Room Temperature Superconductors Inc was developing room-temperature superconductors; and that therefore Room Temperature Superconductors Inc would be a wonderful investment opportunity. He continues the pretense that the company developed something useful, even to this day.
And then Goldes embarked on the pretense that his company Magnetic Power Inc was developing “NO FUEL ENGINES” based on “Virtual Photon Flux;” and then, on the pretense that MPI was developing horn-powered “NO FUEL ENGINES” based on the resonance of magnetized tuning-rods; and then, on the pretense that his and Hagen Ruff’s company Chava Energy LLC was developing water-fueled engines based on “collapsing hydrogen orbits” (which are ruled out by quantum physics); and then, on the pretense that his so-called “Aesop Institute” was developing strictly-ambient-heat-powered “NO FUEL ENGINES” (which are ruled out by the Second Law of Thermodynamics).
But of course, the laws of physics always make an exception for the make-believe pretenses of Mark Goldes.
Goldes’ forty-year career of “revolutionary breakthrough” pretense has nothing to do with science, but only with pseudoscience, pseudophysics, and relentless flimflam, in pursuit of loans and donations from gullible people who never mastered physics very well.
Mark Goldes’ “Aesop Institute” has engaged for many years in the very dishonest and unscrupulous practice of soliciting loans and donations under an endless series of false pretenses, that it is developing and even “prototyping” various “revolutionary breakthroughs,” such as “NO FUEL ENGINES” that run on ambient heat alone – or run on “Virtual Photon Flux” – or on “Collapsing Hydrogen Orbits” – or even on the acoustic energy of sound from a horn.
Aesop Institute’s make-believe strictly ambient heat engine is ruled out by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This has been understood by physicists for at least 180 years. There is no “new science” that has ever determined such an engine to be possible.
Aesop Institute’s make-believe “Virtual Photon Flux” engine is based on the idea that accessible electric power “is everywhere present in unlimited quantities” – which we know to be false.
Aesop Institute’s make-believe “Collapsing Hydrogen Orbits” engine is based on Randell Mills’ theory of “hydrino” hydrogen, which every scientist knows to be false.
Aesop Institute’s make-believe horn-powered engine is based on the pretense that a magnetized tuning rod could somehow “multiply energy” – a ludicrous notion, which is obviously ruled out by the law of conservation of energy.
Aesop Institute’s very latest make-believe engine is a perpetual motion machine in the form of a self-powered air compressor, which proposes to use a turbine to compress air to spin the turbine to compress air to spin the turbine.
Aesop Institute has never offered the slightest shadow of evidence that it is actually developing or “prototyping” any of these make-believe physics-defying “revolutionary breakthroughs.” All it has ever offered are mere declarations that it is doing so – unsupported by any proof whatever, of any kind whatever.
There are no “revolutionary breakthroughs” to be found on Goldes’ fraudulent “Aesop Institute” website. There is only pseudoscience, relentless flimflam, and empty claims of engines that are ruled out by the laws of physics.
After founding Magnetic Power Inc in the mid-eighties, Mark Goldes and MPI soon  developed most of the fraudcraftings which would serve as Goldes’ offerings in fraudcraft for the next thirty years, not only at MPI, but also at Chava Energy LLC,  and at his so-called “Aesop Institute.” Goldes’ partnership with Hagen Ruff, the other Co-founder (as well as CEO) of Chava Energy LLC, gave the Goldes-MPI fraudcraft a new lease on life, and accordingly it may be most properly termed the “Goldes-Ruff Fraudcraft.” For the past five years or more, while serving as a Co-founder and a Chief Officer of Chava Energy LLC, Goldes used his chavaenergy.com email address as his Aesop Institute email address as well, at least until his very recent ejection from Chava Energy.  In practice, Goldes made continual use of Aesop Institute to bring investors to Chava Energy, which for five years has based its pretenses on nearly all the same fraudcraft used by Goldes at Aesop Institute. The common fraudcraft has included the same fraudcraftings of water-fueled “Fractional Hydrogen” engines, generators powered by Zero Point Energy, “Ultraconductor” wire, “Ultraconductor” energy storage systems, and strictly ambient heat engines – along with the same false claims that “prototypes” of all these concepts were being developed, and would soon provide wonderful alternatives to fossil fuels.

1.3   International Physics Review Board (IPRB) has notified Huffington Post that IPRB will prepare to file a class-action suit against Huffington Post on behalf of HP readers swindled by Mark Goldes, if Huffington Post continues to post false and fraudulent spam comments by Mark Goldes advertising his fraudulent so-called “AESOP Institute.”
Huffington Post has been repeatedly informed that Mark Goldes is nothing more than a professional con artist who has swindled people for decades with his fraudulent pretenses. Despite this, Huffington Post has continued to allow Mark Goldes to post his relentless spam comments advertising his fraudulent so-called “AESOP INSTITUTE” on Huffington Post.
In previous years, Huffington Post subjected their readers to over three thousand spam comments by Mark Goldes, advertising his fraudulent “Institute,” under his user-name “Overtone.” Now Goldes continues the same practice under his own name.
Of the many people who have been swindled already by Mark Goldes, no one yet knows how many contacted him only after reading one of the roughly 3500 comments he has posted on Huffington Post in recent years. What we do know is that the number is still growing, and Huffington Post can be held at least partly responsible.

2.  Three Swindles To Choose From!
Mark Goldes is currently offering no less than three different swindles, of which you may take your choice!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Mark Goldes is pleased to present you with the opportunity to take your own preferred choice of no less than three different swindles still on offer from Mark Goldes’ “AESOP Institute.” And here they are:
*   The “No Fuel Piston Engine” Ambient Heat Engine Swindle
Mark Goldes’ “NO FUEL PISTON ENGINE” swindle consists of soliciting and obtaining loans and donations in a blatantly fraudulent manner, making use in particular of the elaborate set of false pretenses, false statements, false claims and empty promises to be found in his “No Fuel Piston Engine” fraudcraft, which includes a worthless and ludicrous pretended “engine” concept shamelessly presented by Kenneth M. Rauen.
*   The “Fuel-Free Turbine” Perpetual Motion Swindle
Mark Goldes’ “FUEL-FREE TURBINE” swindle consists of soliciting and obtaining loans and donations in a blatantly fraudulent manner, making use in particular of the set of false pretenses, false statements, false claims and empty promises to be found in his “Fuel-Free Turbine” fraudcraft, which includes a worthless and ludicrous pretended turbine engine concept described in a patent application submitted by Boris Kondrashov. The application was rejected, quite appropriately.
*   The “Ultraconductor” Room Temperature Superconductor Swindle
Mark Goldes’ “ULTRACONDUCTOR” swindle consists of soliciting and obtaining loans and donations in a blatantly fraudulent manner, making use in particular of the set of false pretenses, false statements, false claims and empty promises to be found in his “Ultraconductor” fraudcraft.
Now let us inspect these three swindles in greater detail.

3.   The “No Fuel Piston Engine” Ambient Heat Engine Swindle
Mark Goldes’ “NO FUEL PISTON ENGINE” swindle consists of soliciting and obtaining loans and donations in a blatantly fraudulent manner, making use in particular of the elaborate set of false pretenses, false statements, false claims and empty promises to be found in his “No Fuel Piston Engine” fraudcraft, which includes a worthless and ludicrous pretended “engine” concept shamelessly presented by Kenneth M. Rauen.
Mark Goldes claims that “Patent pending desktop piston engines that will run 24/7 on the thermal energy in atmospheric heat are being prototyped.”
In fact, the worthless ambient heat engine concept at the center of Goldes’ flimflam is a certain utterly ludicrous exercise in silliness, produced by Kenneth Rauen, that does not have any “patent pending” and never will. It consists of nothing more than several cylinders containing pistons connected to a crankshaft, with various open channels between some of the cylinders. There is nothing to make the pistons move or the crankshaft turn. Rauen has written many pages of tedious nonsense attempting to argue that the engine would work. It certainly will not work, and Rauen certainly knows that it will not work, and so does Goldes.
Kenneth Rauen's Ambient Heat "Engine"
At any given time and place, the atmosphere only provides a single heat reservoir at a single temperature. In order for a cyclic heat engine to do any work, it must be provided not merely with a single heat reservoir, but with two heat reservoirs, at different temperatures. This is an inescapable consequence of one of the most well-established principles in all of physics: the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
To people who have never studied thermodynamics, it might seem that nothing more should be needed to power a heat engine than a reservoir of heat. However, that is not so. In order to do any work, a cyclic heat engine must utilize not just one, but two heat reservoirs, at different temperatures. This has been understood at least since 1824, when Sadi Carnot presented an equation relating the maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine to the temperatures of the two reservoirs. When the two reservoirs are both at the same temperature, the maximum possible efficiency is zero percent: the engine can do no work at all.
Goldes falsely claims that “Two decades of physics research indicate not only that this [single-reservoir atmospheric heat engine] may be possible, but that there exist exploitable exceptions to the current interpretation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.”
This false and baseless flimflam comes from the very same person who has actually spent the last two decades claiming year after year that his make-believe “room temperature superconductors” would be validated “next year,” that his make-believe “Virtual Photon Flux” engine would be validated “next year,” that his make-believe energy-multiplying horn-powered-tuning-rod “POWERGENIE” engine would be validated “next year,” and that his make-believe “Collapsing Hydrogen Orbits” “fractional hydrogen” engine would be validated “next year” – not to mention various other make-believe marvels. In fact, after a forty-year career in flimflam, Goldes has presented and validated a grand total of zero fulfillments of his endless claims regarding his make-believe “revolutionary breakthroughs.”
There is no “new science” in any of Goldes’ “revolutionary breakthroughs.” There is only pseudoscience and pretense – and nothing new, at all.
Mark Goldes’ proofless claims regarding his make-believe strictly ambient heat engine do not represent any new technology, or even a new pretense – they merely represent a rather old pretense.
“Before the establishment of the Second Law, many people who were interested in inventing a perpetual motion machine had tried to circumvent the restrictions of First Law of Thermodynamics by extracting the massive internal energy of the environment as the power of the machine. Such a machine is called a “perpetual motion machine of the second kind”. The second law declared the impossibility of such machines.”
“A perpetual motion machine of the second kind is a machine which spontaneously converts thermal energy into mechanical work. When the thermal energy is equivalent to the work done, this does not violate the law of conservation of energy. However it does violate the more subtle second law of thermodynamics (see also entropy). The signature of a perpetual motion machine of the second kind is that there is only one heat reservoir involved… This conversion of heat into useful work, without any side effect, is impossible, according to the second law of thermodynamics.”
Goldes’ make-believe strictly ambient heat engine would be a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as defined above. Goldes is not developing any such engine; he is merely developing a pretense – as usual.
The Kelvin-Planck formulation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics may be stated as follows:
“No cyclic process driven simply by heat can accomplish the absorption of the heat from a reservoir and the conversion of such heat into work – without any other result (such as a transfer of heat to a cooler reservoir).”
Now, as you will see, the Clausius formulation of the Second Law may be stated with fewer words:
“No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a cooler to a hotter body.”
In fact, we can show that the Kelvin-Planck formulation may be deduced from that of Clausius. In the words of Enrico Fermi:
“Suppose that Kelvin’s postulate were not valid. Then we could perform a transformation whose only final result would be to transform completely into work a definite amount of heat taken from a single source at the temperature t1. By means of friction we could then transform this work into heat again and with this heat raise the temperature of a given body, regardless of what its initial temperature, t2, may have been. In particular, we could take t2 to be higher than t1. Thus, the only final result of this process would be the transfer of heat from one body (the source at temperature t1) to another body at a higher temperature, t2. This would be a violation of the Clausius postulate.”
Can anyone make a teapot that boils water by absorbing heat from blocks of ice?
Max Planck, in his “Treatise On Thermodynamics,” explains how the Second Law of Thermodynamics “may be deduced from a single simple law of experience about which there is no doubt.” Here is the “single simple law of experience” he proposes:
“It is impossible to construct an engine which will work in a complete cycle, and produce no effect except the raising of a weight and the cooling of a heat-reservoir.”
This “law of experience” is very similar to a principle suggested by William Thomson (Lord Kelvin):
“It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency, to derive mechanical effect from any portion of matter by cooling it below the temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects.”
The “simple law of experience” offered by Planck is therefore commonly known as the “Kelvin-Planck statement” of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. But we see from Planck’s “Treatise” that Planck himself did not quite regard it as a statement of the Second Law, but rather as a “starting point” or postulate from which the Second Law may be deduced.
Here is Planck’s rendition of the Second Law itself:
“The second law of thermodynamics states that there exists in nature for each system of bodies a quantity, which by all changes of the system either remains constant (in reversible processes) or increases in value (in irreversible processes). This quantity is called, following Clausius, the entropy of the system.”
The Second Law of Thermodynamics rules out strictly ambient heat engines.
Expecting an ambient heat engine to do any work, with only one heat reservoir, is exactly equivalent to expecting a teapot to boil water by absorbing heat from a block of ice.
Both processes are ruled out by the very same law – the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
“It is impossible for any device operating on a cycle to produce net work from a single temperature reservoir; the production of net work requires flow of heat from a higher temperature reservoir to a colder reservoir.”
In a strictly ambient heat engine there are not two heat reservoirs at different temperatures; no reservoir would be available at any temperature other than the ambient temperature. Therefore the engine would have to DECREASE the total entropy – and therefore we know for certain that the engine will disappoint us. It will never be able to do any work.
Flow of heat from a block of ice to lukewarm water would also result in a DECREASE of the total entropy.
Once again: Expecting an ambient heat engine to do any work, with only one heat reservoir, is exactly equivalent to expecting a teapot to boil water by absorbing heat from a block of ice. Anyone who claims to be developing a “prototype” of such an engine is only developing a pretense, and nothing more.
For more information related to this swindle, see Section 12.1  Notes On Goldes’ “No Fuel Piston Engine Swindle.”

4.   The “Fuel-Free Turbine” Perpetual Motion Swindle
Mark Goldes’ “FUEL-FREE TURBINE” swindle consists of soliciting and obtaining loans and donations in a blatantly fraudulent manner, making use in particular of the set of false pretenses, false statements, false claims and empty promises to be found in his “Fuel-Free Turbine” fraudcraft, which includes a worthless and ludicrous pretended turbine engine concept described in a patent application submitted by Boris Kondrashov in 2003. The application was rejected, quite appropriately.
In this swindle, Goldes declare that a “FUEL-FREE TURBINE invented by a Russian scientist runs on atmospheric pressure.”
But when we read the patent application, we find that actually the turbine does NOT run on atmospheric pressure – it requires compressed air. This is clearly indicated even in the article by Kondrashov posted by Goldes on his flimflam website. Kondrashov says:
“To create a sample of such an engine, you can use ready-made devices, such as a load-bearing element – a low-power turbine module turboshaft turbine engine, and to compress the air… any type of compressor…”
Kondrashov filed his patent application in 2003. No patent was awarded.
Mark Goldes assures us in his note prefacing Kondrashov’s article that “We understand the science behind this jet engine.” But since he incorrectly describes it as an engine powered by “atmospheric pressure” – which it certainly is not – in fact he shows that he doesn’t even understand that the engine requires a supply of compressed air in order to spin at all.
Although Kondrashov does pretend in some of his statements that the turbine will be powered by “atmospheric pressure,” in fact it is evident from his application that the proposed turbine is made to spin only by the use of compressed air.
In his patent application, Kondrashov states:
“To set the above engine in operation, it is necessary to create pressure of working medium (e.g. air) in pneumatic accumulator 18. The compressed air is fed through check valve 19 and/or 20.”
Thus, Kondrashov indicates that an external compressor must be used to fill the turbine’s compressed air tank before the turbine can be started. But he tries to pretend that once the turbine starts to spin, there will be no further reliance on the external compressor – the spinning turbine itself will compress the air that is making the turbine spin. So despite his own false description of the turbine as making use of “low-grade atmospheric energy,” what Kondrashov actually presents in his patent application is a perpetual motion machine in the form of a self-powered air compressor. This is probably the reason why no patent was awarded. It is exactly analogous to trying to use a generator to power a motor to spin the generator to power the motor to spin the generator. It doesn’t work.

The application was filed in 2003, and rejected by the US patent office. A link to the application may be found below in Section 12.2   Notes On Goldes’ “Fuel-Free Turbine” Swindle.
Let’s look at the application. Under “Claims 1″ we are told:
“…kinetic energy of the obtained joined jet mass is used for creating a moment of rotation on the power shaft, characterized in that the working medium is presented by external gaseous masses, which before being fed to the jet device for forming an active jet are compressed in a compressor to the calculated level of pressure sufficient for creating rarefaction in the adding device…”
Somewhere else Kondrashov says:
“To set the above engine in operation, it is necessary to create pressure of working medium (e.g. air) in pneumatic accumulator 18. The compressed air is fed through check valve 19 and/or 20. On the calculated pressure level being reached, valve 21 is switched in use, which provides a calculated duration of flowing of compressed air out of the jet nozzle with a preset periodicity.”
“…compressed gases instead of combustion products are used as the working medium…”
There are many other statements that make it plain that neither “atmospheric pressure” nor “atmospheric heat”  power the engine – despite Kondrashov’s claims, which are contradicted by his own description of the engine. In one section of the patent he mentions incorporating a heat pump, without ever describing or explaining what will power the heat pump. In other sections of the patent he seems to forget about the heat pump entirely.  With or without the heat pump, he is presenting the idea of a compressed-air powered air compressor which would compress its own air, once it got started. We are never going to see that happen.

5.   The “Ultraconductor” Room Temperature Superconductor Swindle
Mark Goldes’ “ULTRACONDUCTOR” swindle consists of soliciting and obtaining loans and donations in a blatantly fraudulent manner, making use in particular of the set of false pretenses, false statements, false claims and empty promises to be found in his “Ultraconductor” fraudcraft.
The great high points of Mark Goldes’ career in fraudcraft were the obtaining of four Small Business Innovative Research grants from the Unites States Air Force, which cost taxpayers roughly a half million dollars. In the fourteen years since the conclusion of the fourth project, Goldes’ companies have evidently made no further progress in this area, at all – but that has not stopped Goldes from pretending that Magnetic Power Inc, or Chava Energy LLC, or “Aesop Institute” will be making Revolutionary Breakthroughs involving “Ultraconductors” as soon as you give them your money.  In fact, MPI’s own reports on the Ultraconductor grant projects consist of a succession of rosy and wonderful claims and predictions which went entirely unfulfilled by following projects, and remain unfulfilled today.
It is important to understand that the “Ultraconductor” film was only ever claimed to be “ultraconductive” to current across the thin dimension of the film – and not along the extensive dimensions. Therefore a strip cut from the film could not function as an “ultraconductive” wire. But MPI’s great claim for years was that they would nonetheless somehow develop a way to to make “ultraconductive” wire. They never did so.  MPI asserted that they would develop a way make the thin “ultraconductive” film thicker – and never did so. MPI asserted that their enrichment method would become the key to making thicker film and wire – but the method never did so.  MPI asserted that their “Ultraconductor” film would surely prove wonderfully useful for making thermoelectric devices – but once again, the rosy claims went unfulfilled. MPI asserted that they would obtain “ultraconductivity” along the plane of the film, instead of merely across the thin dimension, by repositioning the supposedly “ultraconductive” channels. They never did so.
The USAF never “validated” Goldes’ so-called “Ultraconductors” at all, and the USAF never gave Goldes any procurement contract for any “Ultraconductors” at all. The four research grants that Goldes obtained from the USAF were a waste of taxpayer money which never resulted in the development of anything of any value. Goldes’ degree of honesty in the matter of the “Ultraconductor” grants is just the same as his degree of honesty regarding all of his other make-believe “breakthroughs.” It is zero. Zero honesty. Zero “breakthroughs.” Zero fulfilment of his endless empty claims – as usual.
Chava Energy’s “Ultraconductor” fraudcraft was fraudulent first of all because Chava Energy has never done any development work with the so-called “Ultraconductor” film and therefore has never “continued to develop” the film at all, even though they pretended otherwise for five years. Just as Goldes had done at MPI, Chava Energy misrepresented the true prospects of the “Ultraconductor” material, which had never been found or made useful for any purpose, despite the substantial research funding that MPI had received in the nineties.
Mark Goldes was ejected from Chava Energy LLC during the fall of 2014 by Chava Energy’s other co-founder, Hagen Ruff; and all the rosy fraudcraft regarding “Ultraconductors” and “Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage” was suddenly removed from the Chava Energy website. Hagen Ruff had chosen to drop the fraudulent empty pretense of ongoing “Ultraconductor” development that he and Goldes had carried on at Chava Energy for five years – along with several other fraudulent empty pretenses.
But although the partnership ended, the fraud still continues – at Mark Goldes’ so-called “AESOP Institute,” where it is still one of Mark Goldes’ three favorite frauds – along with his pretended “NO FUEL PISTON ENGINE” and his equally worthless “FUEL-FREE TURBINE.”
The reports themselves show that the so-called “Ultraconductors” are not “equivalent” to superconductors, since they do not show zero electrical resistance. That is why Goldes had to invent the name “Ultraconductor” in the first place.
As co-founder and “Chief Marketing Research Officer” at Chava Energy LLC, Goldes carried on the very same pretense he now continues at AESOP Institute: that “Ultraconductor” development “is resuming.”  After Goldes was ejected from Chava Energy in July 2014, all mention of the “Ultraconductor” pretense was suddenly removed from the Chava Energy website. It was nothing but a pretense, since no work at all on “Ultraconductors” was ever done at Chava Energy. Ultraconductor “development” never resumed at Chava Energy during the five years Goldes pretended otherwise, and Ultraconductor development will not be resuming at Aesop Institute, either. It is only a pretense and nothing more – just as Goldes’ “Fractional Hydrogen” “ECHO” engine was only a pretense and nothing more; just as Goldes’ “POWERGENIE” generator was only a pretense and nothing more; just as Goldes’ “Virtual Photon Flux” generator was only a pretense and nothing more; just as Goldes’ “NO FUEL PISTON ENGINE” is only a pretense and nothing more; and just as Goldes’ “FUEL-FREE TURBINE” is only a pretense and nothing more.
There is no need to contact Mark Goldes to get the four SBIR grant reports written by Goldes’ company MPI. A link to the four reports can be found below in Section 12.3 Notes On The ULTRACONDUCTOR Swindle.

6.  Swindle Memory Lane
Several swindles offered in previous years by Mark Goldes’ so-called “AESOP Institute” seem to have played out, and he longer mentions them in the comment-advertisements for “AESOP Institute” that we have found him posting almost every day on Huffington Post. His comments no longer ever mention, for example, the imaginary “Fractional Hydrogen” “SPICE” Engine which he claimed would take a car 1,000 miles on a gallon of water. His comments no longer ever mention the wonderful “POWERGENIE” horn-powered tuning-rod engine which wouldn’t even need the gallon of water – it would be powered by sound energy from its own horn! (The tuning-rod would “multiply” the sound energy, don’t you see.) Nor do his comments any longer ever mention the “MagGen” “Virtual Photon Flux Generator,” or the amazing Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter. Those swindles have played out, you see. But they they show the character of Mark Goldes very clearly – so let us inspect them in detail.

7.   The “POWERGENIE” Horn-Powered Tuning-Rod Generator Swindle

In appreciation of its entertainment value, let’s look at another example of Mark Goldes’ wonderful offerings in “revolutionary new technology:”
The amazing “POWERGENIE!”
One of the most laughable of Mark Goldes’ many pseudotypes is his “POWERGENIE” horn-powered generator. The brilliant idea of this revolutionary breakthrough is to blow a horn at a magnetized tuning rod, designed to resonate at the frequency of the horn, and then collect the electromotive energy produced by the vibrations of the rod.
We’re not making this up.
POWERGENIE tuning rod engine explained – from the patent:
[The device incorporates] “an energy transfer and multiplier element being constructed of a ferromagnetic substance… having a natural resonance, due to a physical structure whose dimensions are directly proportional to the wavelength of the resonance frequency…
“In this resonant condition, the rod material functions as a tuned waveguide, or longitudinal resonator, for acoustic energy…
“Ferrite rod 800 is driven to acoustic resonance at the second harmonic of its fundamental resonant frequency by acoustic horn 811…”
- But the patent doesn’t tell us who will volunteer to blow the horn at the rod all day. Perhaps it will come with an elephant.
Mark Goldes claimed in 2008 that this wonderful triumph of human genius would bring his company, Magnetic Power Inc, one billion dollars in annual revenue by 2012. Magnetic Power is now defunct, having never produced any “Magnetic Power Modules” – just as Goldes’ company called “Room Temperature Superconductors Inc” is also now defunct, having never produced any “room temperature superconductors.”

8.    The “Fractional Hydrogen” “ECHO” “SPICE” Engine Swindle
Mark Goldes’  make-believe “water-fueled engine” supposedly involving “Collapsing Hydrogen Orbits” is nothing more than copy-cat flimflam based on Randell Mills’ bogus theory of “Classical Quantum Mechanics” (CQM) and “hydrino” hydrogen.
2009: Goldes seeks investors with fraudulent claims that his latest company, Chava Energy, “has been developing enhanced theoretical and practical paths that lead towards commercialization of energy conversion systems that utilize hydrinos.”
Goldes has never stopped claiming to be “developing a Self Powered Internal Combustion Engine – SPICE(tm) powered by hydrinos.”
Here is what the physicist Andreas Rathke has to say about Mills’ theory of “Classical Quantum Mechanics,” on which both Mills’ “hydrinos” and Goldes’ “fractional hydrogen” are supposedly based:
“In this paper, we have considered the theoretical foundations of the hydrino hypothesis, both within the theoretical framework of CQM, in which hydrinos were originally suggested, and within standard quantum mechanics. We found that CQM is inconsistent and has several serious deficiencies. Amongst these are the failure to reproduce the energy levels of the excited states of the hydrogen atom, and the absence of Lorentz invariance. Most importantly, we found that CQM does not predict the existence of hydrino states! Also, standard quantum mechanics cannot encompass hydrino states, with the properties currently attributed to them. Hence there remains no theoretical support of the hydrino hypothesis.”
http://iopscience.iop.org/1367-2630/7/1/127/fulltext/
In other words, not only has Randell Mills’ theory of “Classical Quantum Mechanics” been shown beyond doubt to be false , but it does not even support Mills’ theory of “hydrino” hydrogen states, as Mills would have us believe. There are no “hydrino” states, or “Fractional Hydrogen” states as Goldes has called them. The whole idea is nothing more than a heap of flimflam, that a charlatan may use to swindle nitwits.
In fact, neither “AESOP Institute” not any of Goldes’ other companies have ever done any actual work in this direction, at all.  They have merely claimed  and pretended to be doing so – just as they have falsely claimed and pretended to be working on various other worthless concepts.

9.    The “Virtual Photon Flux” “MagGen” Generator Swindle

The make-believe “Virtual Photon Flux” engine is merely another exercise in flimflam, which Goldes has evidently judged to be played out, since he hardly mentions it any more. For more information, please see section 9.1 under “Notes” below.

10.    Use of Pseudoscience And Pseudophysics.

11.      Exploiting Concerns Over Climate Change.
An “MPI Overview And Summary” produced by MPI in late 2008 actually lists Hagen Ruff as the Chief Executive Officer of MPI, as well as a Director of MPI; Mark Goldes, who had been the CEO of MPI for two decades, is listed only as Chairman. This document also shows that a major component 0f the Goldes-Ruff Fraudcraft was already well developed in 2008: namely, the fraudulent pretense that the worthless “revolutionary breakthroughs” claimed by Goldes and Ruff could provide alternatives to fossil fuels and thereby shift the global economy “from one dependent on fossil fuels to one that exists on clean, fuel-free, distributed power” and thereby “help offset the consequences of global warming.”
At the time when Hagen Ruff, as CEO of MPI, allowed this and many similar statements to be included in the 2008 “MPI Overview,” MPI was claiming among its “breakthroughs” all but one of the seven fraudcraftings – all but Kondrashov’s self-powered air compressor, which Goldes discovered in 2013. Ruff and Goldes knew perfectly well that not one of MPI’s six claimed “breakthroughs” represented anything more than an empty pretense.  They also knew that Randell Mills at Blacklight Power had obtained millions of dollars from foolish investors by means of his “hydrino” fraudcraft – and they saw no reason why MPI couldn’t do the very same.
But Ruff’s position as CEO of MPI could only have lasted a few months. Ruff and Goldes soon began calling themselves the Co-founders of a new company, Chava Energy, and the chavaenergy website was up and running by mid-April 2009.

12.   Summary.

13.   Conclusion.
Mark Goldes’ forty-year career of “revolutionary breakthrough” pretense has nothing to do with science, but only with pseudoscience, pseudophysics, and relentless flimflam, in pursuit of investments, loans and donations from gullible people who never mastered physics very well.
The relentless and pervasive dishonesty, fraudulence, and unscrupulousness, that characterized Mark Goldes’ use of his company Magnetic Power Inc for over twenty years prior to the founding of Chava Energy LLC, has also characterized Mark Goldes’ and Hagen Ruff’s use of Chava Energy LLC and Aesop Institute since 2009.

14.       Notes
14.1    Notes On Goldes’ “No Fuel Piston Engine” Swindle

2008:  Mark Goldes Claims MPI’s “Patent Pending” Ambient Heat Engine Has Already Powered A Car For 4800 Miles; Claims MPI Will Earn One Billion Dollars Annually By 2012

In his “Executive Summary” for MPI of June 2, 2008, Goldes states:
“The company is now involved with a revolutionary, patent pending, technology, which converts ambient heat into electricity. This non-magnetic breakthrough has the potential to go to production in the near future.  The system has proven capability to recharge batteries from heat extracted from the air; an alternative to the need to plug-in…
“Prototypes of the non-magnetic [ambient heat engine] system have been in operation for more that one year and successfully run an electric car for more than 4,800 miles with no need to plug-in.”
In the same “Executive Summary” for MPI,  Goldes claims that MPI’s array of imaginary engines will earn the company one billion dollars annually by 2012:
“Revenues from licenses and Joint Ventures are conservatively projected to exceed $1 billion annually by 2012.
“2008:  $25 million;  2009:  $100 million;  2010:  $300 million;  2011:  $600 million,  2012: $1 b[illion].

14.4    Notes On Goldes’ “POWERGENIE” or “Genie” Swindle.
2007:  Mark Goldes Claims He Will Demonstrate His Imaginary One-Kilowatt Horn-Powered Tuning-Rod “GENIE” Engine (aka “POWERGENIE”) Within One Year; Hundred-Kilowatt “GENIE” Might Take Two Years
“A revolutionary breakthrough by Magnetic Power Inc., called GENIE™ (Generating Electricity by Nondestructive Interference of Energy) will make possible the elimination of the need for batteries of every variety. GENIE generators are expected to replace the need to plug-in a plug-in hybrid. 2 kW is all the power that can be taken from a typical wall socket. A pair of 1 kW GENIE generators are expected to demonstrate a compact, inexpensive, capability to end the need to plug-in, prior to the end of 2008.
“If the development of GENIE generators is put on a 24/7 footing, it may be possible to provide 100 kW systems that will fit in the space of a typical gas tank, on a prototype basis in perhaps two years.”

- Goldes never mentions that the “GENIE” was actually to be powered by a horn.

14.6    Notes On Goldes’ “Virtual Photon Flux” “MagGen” Generator Swindle

2005:  Mark Goldes Claims His Flimflam-Powered “Virtual Photon Flux” Magnetic Power Modules Will Earn MPI (His Now-Defunct Company) 335 Million Dollars By 2010
For over twenty years, beginning in 1987, Mark Goldes’ company “Magnetic Power Inc” (MPI) declared year after year that prototypes of its current pretended “revolutionary breakthroughs” would be presented for validation “next year.” Not a single one of these countless claims were ever fulfilled before the worthless company was finally disbanded.
Here is an excerpt from a typical example of a fraudulent “Executive Summary” from MPI, falsely pretending to have already created a working generator powered by “Virtual Photon Flux:”
Executive Summary [November 14,  2005]
“MPI’s mission is to supply the world with clean, abundant, and inexpensive electricity.
“The company is developing technology it calls Magnetic Power Modules(TM). Based upon breakthrough discoveries in MPI’s labs, Magnetic Power Modules are being designed that operate continuously, without fuel, extracting electricity by converting abundant, renewable, Virtual Photon Flux (VPF), an energy source that exists everywhere in the universe. The process will create no pollution. The cost of electricity is estimated to be less than 1 cent/Kwh, significantly less than any competing form of power generation today or in the foreseeable future.
“Magnetic Power Modules will be scaled to a wide range of applications. They appear suitable for the relatively small power needs of consumer devices up through the massive needs of power generation plants.
“Revenues from licenses of Magnetic Power Modules are conservatively projected to exceed $200 million annually by 2009:
“2006: $10 million;   2007: $25 million;   2008: $75 million;   2009: $225 million”
“Following the VPF research in private laboratories around the world, and based on recent breakthroughs in MPI laboratories, prototypes are currently being built that the Company expects will soon receive external validation. The first in a substantial series of patent applications was filed in January, 2005. A plug-in hybrid car may be modified, to become a prototype powered by VPF for local driving, during 2006.
“The commercial potential of Magnetic Power Modules is huge, with applications throughout the roughly $1.8 trillion worldwide market for energy. The Company forecasts rapidly growing revenues and profits, with revenues beginning in 2006…
“Revenues from licenses of Magnetic Power Modules are conservatively projected to exceed $200 million annually by 2009:
“2006: $10 million;  2007: $25 million;   2008: $75 million;   2009: $225 million
