SEFE, Inc. (OTCBB/OTCQB: SEFE), a sustainability fellowship engaged inwards offering innovative, pioneering solutions for the world’s liberate energy needs, today provides the next alphabetic quality to its stockholders in addition to the investment community from its CEO, Don Johnston.

To our valued Shareholders:

I’d similar to update yous on the condition of the company’s technological developments in addition to operational changes. We’ve made much progress inwards the concluding 4 years, taking a seemingly impossible concept in addition to developing it into a solution amongst many applications inwards dissimilar industries. We telephone outcry upwardly our scheme the Harmony III.

Briefly, the Harmony III utilizes the phenomena of atmospheric corona discharge past times a proprietary collection chemical element held inwards the air past times a balloon. The earth’s natural electrical champaign drives the discharge, in addition to ions inwards the lower atmosphere render a sink for the current. The solution is a high voltage in addition to relatively depression electrical flow technique past times nature in addition to requires a careful approach to treatment the power.

Our applied scientific discipline squad has been extremely busy, in addition to we’ve filed for patents on many of the aspects of this unique liberate energy gathering system. The concluding ninety days accept been really productive, in addition to we’d similar to portion the results amongst you.

We’ve filed for a patent on our strain reduction scheme that uses an elastic bungee betwixt a balloon in addition to the tether attached to the balloon. As air current pushes on the balloon, the immediate describe per unit of measurement area is absorbed past times the elastic bungee rather than the balloon or the tether. This reduces the immediate forcefulness in addition to tension, protecting critical components from damage.

Additionally, we’ve filed for patent protection on our tether contact system. The tether contact scheme is designed to minimize the electrical path length on the mightiness tether. The scheme uses a proprietary machinery to consummate the mightiness circuit, removing the unused mightiness tether from the path. This scheme functions inwards tandem amongst the dynamic electrical converter in addition to the electrostatic motor-generator every bit an efficiency booster. This allows for the same hardware to live used no affair what the flying elevation of the aerostat (the technical lift for the balloon) may be.

We’ve likewise filed for patent protection on our scheme for detecting the concentration of atmospheric ions inwards the lower atmosphere at varying elevations. The accuse detection scheme volition play a critical role inwards broadening SEFE’s customer base, allowing us to speedily create upwardly one's heed how to best deliver the required amount of mightiness to the client.

As our enquiry in addition to methodologies accept progressed, we’ve realized nosotros ask a ameliorate balloon launch in addition to retrieval system. So our engineers came upwardly amongst the “Balloon Launch Assist” system, which uses a secondary stabilizing balloon on top of the principal elevator balloon. This project design allows the balloon to live launched in addition to retrieved inwards a elementary manner, without a ask for the extra manpower commonly associated amongst the initial launch of a balloon. The secondary balloon provides upward elevator in addition to prevents the principal balloon from tipping over, ensuring stability during the critical stages of initial balloon deployment every bit good every bit during retrieval. The project design is currently inwards the patent application procedure amongst the the U.S. Patent in addition to Trademark Office. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 patent-pending number has non nonetheless been issued.

We’re likewise inwards the procedure of designing an electrostatic motor that operates every bit a generator when supplied amongst a high voltage-low electrical flow mightiness source. This motor volition live a fundamental slice of the electrical generation hardware for our Harmony III system. It is designed to piece of job side-by-side amongst our electrical converter to create usable air-conditioning mightiness direct for immediate consumption, delivery to an electrical grid, or stored for after use.

Our engineers accept modified the master ion detector pattern for a to a greater extent than flying suited geometry which nosotros are calling our “Cubic Wire Detector.” The IP for this engineering has been categorized every bit a "continuation-in-part" application, adding a variation to SEFE's patent-pending application for Collection of Atmospheric Ions acre claiming priority based on the master patent, which was filed amongst the the U.S. Patent in addition to Trademark Office on May 12, 2011. The variation employs an open-frame cubic box amongst alternating wires rather than parallel plates to collect atmospheric ions. The Cubic Wire Detector provides valuable insight into where the most abundant source of atmospheric accuse is located.

We believe the cubic wire geometry is to a greater extent than suited to the flying surroundings in addition to inwards its minute iteration volition likewise live able to capture directionality, depletion, in addition to accuse mobility measurements. The alternating wires are held at a high voltage in addition to the ions that move past times betwixt the wires are accelerated past times the high voltage in addition to measured every bit a current. The squad has developed a custom software routine to automate the information collection in addition to allow for the exam operator to arrange exam parameters inwards flight. The software has gone through several iterations over the past times twelvemonth in addition to is currently performing every bit expected inwards laboratory tests utilizing an ion source.

As yous tin see, our engineers are really busy developing Harmony III then it tin instruct a huge success. Our operational staff has adeptly kept stair amongst several of import developments, every bit well.

While nosotros proceed our efforts to advance the capabilities of the Harmony III system, nosotros are working the marketing side at the same time. We’ve launched Revmodo to maintain investors in addition to the populace upwardly to engagement on developments inwards build clean liberate energy in addition to the build clean liberate energy business. Revmodo has created an online presence that is geared toward driving potential novel line of piece of job concern to SEFE through community outreach initiatives in addition to instruction of the populace nearly the growing build clean engineering space.

Shea Gunther in addition to Michael d’Estries, 2 award-winning greenish marketing veterans whose experience ranges from Glamour to Forbes, in addition to from the Huffington Post to the Mother Nature Network in addition to GE’s ecomagination.com, built the site for us in addition to nosotros are really pleased amongst their efforts. We experience that Revmodo volition render us amongst unique opportunities to foster novel build clean liberate energy concepts, in addition to believe it volition likewise enable access to a broad multifariousness of potential line of piece of job concern partners that volition bolster our company’s commercial opportunities. If yous accept non nonetheless viewed the Revmodo site, I encourage yous to make so.

Earlier this year, nosotros moved our headquarters to Boulder, Colorado. We believe our Boulder facility provides us amongst an optimal setting for continued testing in addition to perfection of our Harmony III system. We’re likewise pursuing a partnership amongst the University of Colorado’s Department of Electrical in addition to Computer Engineering. We programme to piece of job amongst both the Colorado Center for Power Electronics in addition to the Center for Environmental Technology to perform enquiry in addition to evolution related to the physics in addition to applied scientific discipline of the Harmony III system. We believe the University volition live a valuable partner inwards our efforts to farther advance the evolution of our atmospheric liberate energy technology.

Finally, nosotros accept fix the next milestones on the path toward commercializing the Harmony III:

• Completing the information collection to create upwardly one's heed how much electricity tin live generated in addition to stored past times each unit of measurement over a menstruation of fourth dimension based on location, altitude, weather, in addition to other factors;
• Securing contracts amongst mining organizations and/or utility companies;
• Implementation of the communications, monitoring methodologies, in addition to safety for each unit of measurement through our Network Operations Center (NOC) where applicable.

Please experience gratis to contact us amongst whatever questions yous may have. We really much appreciate the continued back upwardly of our investors in addition to are committed to delivering long-term shareholder value to all of you.
