"Water energy system" making electricity from water Continuing report, direct report on the company that tried to acquire sales rights

Even for each media, it is a mass media report that produces electricity from water "Water energy systemHowever, in November 2004, it was discovered from Osaka Prefecture's Management Innovation Support Law page that "Sumitai Electric Co., Ltd." was trying to acquire the sales rights of the water energy system business.

So, as soon as we flew to the site we interviewed, but it was surprising fact that we had been waiting there ... ....

The report is from the following.
Before that, I will review it first. The departure was on the second floor of Osaka prefecture's parliament building on June 12th last week.

I went to see a new generation system "Water Energy System" that made it possible to extract electric current from water - GIGAZINE

On the day, Nikkei Electronics, Kansai TV, Yomiuri TV, TV Osaka etc are coming, Rep. Democratic Party Takahiro Nakagawa chairman of the town development department of the Democratic Party / Independent Net Parliamentarians and Representative of the Environmental Agriculture and Forestry Department "Midori Mori" attended. It was a great success with the feeling that other lawmakers will also be interested.

However, as the mysterious water energy system covered by the veil of 'trade secret' comes out, it is somewhat unknown. Even if you look at it like a perpetual institution ... ... just pouring water will come out inexhaustible ... ....?

"Water energy system" which draws out current from water Demonstration movies Various - GIGAZINE

Because the academic experts and experts familiar with these were absent at the work site, it ended up being a tough result that this system is funny but it can not be said enough.

Questions and answers from each press to "water energy system" useful for judging authenticity variously, and conclusion at the present time - GIGAZINE

In the meantime I can not believe the "water energy system" at the moment because I do not know the details.

Further examination revealed that the contents of the patent application of "water energy system" this time is written in the following PDF file. Because the examination request is "unclaimed", if you want to be a patent, you need to file an application examination within 3 years from the filing, that is, it is not yet "patented". It is important that it is not accepted as a patent.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To propose a water energy system capable of performing power generation using pure water as fuel at room temperature.

SOLUTION: The water energy system 1 has a structure in which a fuel electrode 3 and an oxygen electrode 4 are opposed to each other with a catalyst 2 therebetween, as in a general fuel cell. As the fuel electrode 3, a sintered body of zeolite, coral sand, and carbon black fine particle powder carrying platinum is used, and as the oxygen electrode 4, ruthenium is used as a sintered body of zeolite and carbon black fine particle powder It uses a supported one. When pure water 5 is supplied to the fuel electrode 3 and air is sent to the oxygen electrode 4, electricity is generated at room temperature.

This figure shows the contents. "Catalyst 2" seems to be a trade secret, but if such a thing exists, it is a substance at a level that makes the world a fuss.


If you are requesting a review, if you are a commercial product you do not have to specify the detailed mixing ratio etc, but this time's "Catalyst 2" is a trade secret, that is, an original thing in the explanation of the day , It is necessary to give a detailed explanation when requesting judgment of patent, and if we do not explain, even if we make a request for examination, we will not pass this patent application as it is. In other words, the patent application itself has little meaning (there is only a meaning to prevent similar patent applications).

Well, it is the state of coverage of each media up to the present, but in "Tokyo Business Satellite" TV Tokyo "Car running in water [08/6/12]It is introduced to you that you can see it on YouTube.

YouTube - Electric car running only with water? ...


Furthermore, this water energy system was introduced in the alarming TV of Fuji Television, and seems to have been broadcast with the feeling as below on the program which seems to be "news scramble" of Yomiuri TV. What color of this water ... ....

Also, Nikkei Electronics has posted on the following page, "Credibility is questioned if technology site is uncritic and it hangs like this article"It is a problem in the comment field etc. of the corresponding article as it is.

"We continue to generate electricity only with water and air," Genepax demonstrates new fuel cell system - Green car - Tech - On!

And the problem this time is the "Osaka prefecture's homepage"Management Innovation Support Law Management Innovation Plan"page of. About manufacturing and selling goods considered as the current water energy system "Sumitai Electric Co., Ltd.I wrote what I tried to do.

Management innovation support law Management innovation plan approved company (November 2004)

Efforts to manufacture and sell hydrogen / oxygen gas energy system by electron decomposition of water】
The company is working on the development of an oxygen / hydrogen mixed gas energy system by electron decomposition of water,Acquisition of sales rights of water energy system business from patent applicant in Osaka prefecture's northern regionIn addition to establishing a manufacturing and sales strategy, maintenance of the system, and establishment of a sales organization (development of markets targeting the boiler industry in general, power generation demand in general, driving equipment related, and other energy equipment in general) The water energy system is an epoch-making next-generation energy system, both of safety, miniaturization, environmental conservation and economics are noted. In this way, we aim to achieve management innovation through our new initiatives.

Although it is a strange name like "Sumitomo + Mitsui = Sumii", as it was, as earlier as 2004, about the water energy system that nobody knew until the 12th day of last week, It is almost impossible to know. I am anxious about the circumstances of what happened in such circumstances. You might know something we do not know.

So, I flew to the address on the above page, Osaka Prefecture Ibaraki city.

This address seems to be local. As long as I see the printed map, there seems to be some building.


It should be around here ... ...


Hmm……?


It is a vacant lot no matter how you look


I looked it from another direction.


The other side was a parking lot.


In addition, I tried photographing, it is like this. nothing.


When asking the neighbors, the building which was here was torn down in October of last year. The western side of the building that I had built was a closed cafe that was not open and there was a mysterious shop in the corner where the shutter was closed. There is a store on the side, it is tainted and rotten and it has become tattered, it seems that it was not such a situation that people did not see the way to go in and out, and was doing something.

Although it is the atmosphere that it does not have even existed in the first place, let's call the telephone number written on the page of Osaka prefecture. There may be some clues.

And when I called this phone number, I heard that it is no longer in use. Where the hell did they disappear ... ?.


Although it is an infinitely doubtful company, let's take a look at what I can do if I get approval from Osaka Prefecture's "Management Innovation Support Law" for the time being.

About the outline of support measures based on this law

1. Sales subsidy support subsidy system
2. Low interest loan system by government financial institutions
3. Guaranteed association loan guarantee system
4. Advanced Financing System
5. Various taxation measures
6. Special case of Small and Medium Enterprise Investment Development Corporation Act
7. Investment from venture fund
8. Patent-related fee reduction and exemption system for research and development type SME
9. Coordination business development coordination business

It means that these support measures can be utilized only, and it will be necessary to judge according to each content.

Finally, I tried talking to those who are familiar with support laws for such small and medium enterprises and behind-the-scenes such as so-called subsidies, but as a matter of fact it is often only document examination, It is not too difficult, but the problem is after that, especially the stage of pulling a subsidy. The fact that it is effective at this stage is "media reported and attracting attention". In other words, if it is picked up on a TV program etc. as in this time, or when a member of the party comes to the presentation, it seems to be more likely to receive subsidies. In such cases, the previously reported program, posted pages, magazines, newspaper articles, etc. are submitted as reference materials, giving the impression that "promising in the future" at the time of the appraisal, and finally got the grant It is said that it is often a decision material. Also, it is important not only when getting the grant first, but also the fact that these "news reports" are important in order to further draw the second and third grants from there later. Therefore, I regularly announce something or organize an event, and it seems that I will try to increase the amount of exposure somehow.

If there was a company that intends to misuse a series of announcements of this water energy system, first apply for such support measures by using a large number of businesses of a child, a subsidiary company, or a company with only names , There is a possibility that ultimately it is trying to pull "gold" such as subsidy from the country and region. Let's keep on watching carefully from now on.

2008/06/16 9: 05 Additional notes
According to Genepax Co., Ltd., it seems to be as follows.

Although this issue concerning your company's coverage,
"In November 2004," Sumitomo Electric Co., Ltd. "
It seems that they tried to acquire the sales rights of the business
It turned out from Osaka Prefecture's Management Innovation Support Law page. "

There is no relation with our company, developer and this project at all.
As you can also write in your company's article, in 2004 the company of this project
Start
It is also a stage. There is no business alliance etc with such a company.
In addition, business innovation support legal business innovation plan also applied and approved in relation to our company
There is no such thing. There is no exchange of grants.

We have also reported on this issue on your company and some websites, let me investigate
I received it again, but it is a coincidence, it is this news report by your company
Sumitai Electric Co., Ltd.
I did not even recognize it even until I knew the company called.
http://www.pref.osaka.jp/keieishien/keikaku/16nendo/200411.htm

Humbly please correct the information.

Also, it is a bit of a fact that this project is covered mainly by some skeptical way of thinking
I am sorry.
I think that it can not be helped in the part that information is small,
The company that we are a venture company and can not disclose all the information
Where troubled plaque
It is.
We are planning to further disclose information such as details of the technology now with media and media
It is fixed.

Good luck.
