"In the first week of May, 2006, the New Energy Congress agreed to
cosponsor Peter Steven's 5-hour presentation at the Joe Cell workshop,
demonstrating the construction of a cell, its installation on a vehicle, and the
running of that vehicle on the cell, with the vehicle's fuel line disconnected.
The other sponsor is TeslaTech, which is responsible for planning the
ExtraOrdianary Technology conference held July 27 - 30. The Joe Cell Seminar was
appended to that conference in Salt Lake City, and scheduled for the afternoon
of July 30.
"Tesla Tech's going-to-press deadline for making the decision to invite
Stevens required finalizing that decision prior to Stevens providing a
validation of the technology. The terms of that validation had been set forth on
April 25, and appeared to be well under way of being fulfilled, looking to be
completed within just a few days, which is why the Congress went ahead with the
invitation and co-sponsorship of the workshop.
"However, a series of delays and excuses has ensued regarding the
validation. Nearly two months has now elapsed, with no validation yet. The
assembly descriptions by Stevens suggest that once materials have been procured,
the assembly of the Joe Cell and installation could all be done in just a few
hours; and he made it sound like he had all necessary components in his
possession.
"Furthermore, Stevens has claimed that over the course of 15 years, he was
involved in some way with the installation of a Joe Cell on between 40 and 50
vehicles in such a manner as to permit disconnecting the fuel line, so that
these vehicles were running on the Joe Cell alone. Stevens further claimed that
he was still in communication with about 15 of the owners of these vehicles.
"However, in the past two months, since agreeing to a validation of this
claim of a Joe Cell being able to power a vehicle with its fuel line
disconnected, Stevens has neither completed a successful installation of a Joe
Cell on a test bed, nor has he had any of the 15 people come forward with their
vehicles to demonstrate them for the New Energy Congress.
"Furthermore, of the estimated hundreds of people experimenting with this
technology per Steven's explanations, as well as among those experimenting with
other variants of the Joe cell, we do not know of any who have produced a
successful unit to the point of running a vehicle on the Joe cell alone with
fuel line disconnected, and who have had this validated by a third party known
and trusted by the New Energy Congress.
"It should be noted as well that several independent offers of cash were
made (two for US $10,000) for the first successful validation.
"Considering the coverage that this episode has been garnering among those
who circulate in the cutting-edge energy technology circles, it seems
implausible that there has not been at least one person come forward to produce
validation of the technology that Stevens makes to sound fairly straightforward
and which is allegedly presently implemented on a substantial number of vehicles
-- if such claim has basis in truth.
"As a result of this delay, which at this point seems inexcusable
considering the claims made and the number of people working on replications,
the New Energy Congress is withdrawing its invitation to Peter Stevens if he
does not provide a validation by June 29, either of his test bed or of one of
his associates' vehicles running on the Joe cell alone. In his place, NEC will
host a related presentation for the same time and place in Salt Lake City.
"If Stevens completes a validation after June 29 and prior to July 28, then
the invitation for July 30 will be re-issued; and if accepted, the original plan
will be renewed.
"NEC encourages cutting-edge energy research, allowing inventors adequate
space to bring forth their creations, but does not believe it to be good policy
to propagate claims for which adequate validation has not been produced under
reasonable conditions."
