New Energy Congress presses Peter Stevens for validation of Joe Cell
claims
With a few days turning into two months, the Congress is setting
a deadline for Stevens to demonstrate his claim to be able to get a
vehicle to run completely on a Joe cell, with fuel line disconnected.

CASINO, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA -- Two months ago, the New Energy
Congress approached Peter Stevens about validating
his claim to be able to install a Joe cell on a vehicle so that the
vehicle could run on the Joe cell alone, with the vehicles' fuel line
disconnected, tapping into some unseen energy source.
The validation appeared to be well under way and under control, and a
"going to press" deadline required the Congress to act on its
intentions to invite Stevens to come present a 5-hour workshop in Salt
Lake City in July. ( See Joe
Cell Seminar)
Meanwhile, what was supposed to happen in just a few days hence, was
stretched out into two months of what Stevens refers to as a "comedy
of errors"; and as of this writing, no validation has yet been
accomplished.
Stevens alleged to have been involved in the installation of some 30 to 40
Joe cells vehicles over the last 15 years, in which the fuel line was able
to be disconnected. He said he was still in contact with more than a
dozen of those people, and as far as he knows, they were yet running their
vehicles on just a Joe cell, requiring no fuel, no water -- nothing being
consumed.
Earlier in April, Bill Williams of the U.S. said he was able to get his
Ford pick-up truck to run on a Joe cell. This was in large measure
due to the input of some 80 email messages between himself and Stevens, in
addition to phone conversations and instant message chats.
Less than two weeks after achieving success, Williams said two
unidentified people approached him and warned him to discontinue all
activities in alternative energy or else.... Williams complied, but
he had already shared his story and plans, so the account of his being
suppressed only fueled the interest, stirring up a lot of people to try an
replicate the effect.
Yesterday PESN published a story revealing that while Williams said
he was able to get his truck to run 100% on the Joe cell, that it was very
difficult to get to that point, and that it was not stable nor safe.
The truck had a tremendous amount of power, and it was not properly
controlled.
The conclusion of that story was that the technology still requires a lot
of research and development before it becomes practical as a common
solution to the energy needs of the planet, and that achieving the 100%
mode is anything but simple.
PESN has published a follow-up editorial
today from its chief editor, Mary-Sue Haliburton, encouraging
experimenters to have patience in learning to harness this new energy,
taking an approach akin to the horse whisperer, rather than approaching
the technology as a typical science project that can be whipped into shape
by brute force.
Meanwhile, today as well, a three-day voting period has come to an end,
and the New Energy Congress has unanimously approved a statement regarding
Peter Steven's validation.
They are requiring Stevens to complete his validation by June 29, or they
will secure other arrangements for the July 30 seminar.
Nevertheless, the statement notes that the door will open again for
Stevens if he yet validates by July 28.
The statement makes mention that not only has Stevens not validated, but
none of the approximate hundreds of people working on a replication of the
technology, or any variation thereof, have produced a validation.
Nor have any of the estimated 30-40 people from the past 15 years come
forward who have allegedly had the Joe cell installed in such a way that
the fuel line was able to be disconnected on their vehicle.
The Congress was formed in September, 2005 to review various clean energy
technology claims and to identify those that are the most promising. The
approximate 40 members of the Congress consist of energy professionals
with a range of expertise from around the world.
Official Statement by the
New Energy Congress
Approved Unanimously and Published June 23, 2006
|
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. |
Opinion
While some who have been watching this saga unfold have alleged that
Stevens is nothing more than a charlatan or a fraud, others defend him,
saying that Stevens is more benign, and has the
"head-in-the-clouds" affliction common to inventors, and that
his exaggerations come from optimism rather than an intent to deceive.
Considering the new revelation of how temperamental this technology is,
the "reasonable conditions" for validation mentioned in the NEC
statement might not be so straight forward after all.
Perhaps what is needed in solving this riddle is more horse whisperers and
fewer hard-nosed mechanics.
