License Grant

The Canadian Licensor entered into a Licensing Agreement with the Canadian Licensee.  According to the Agreement, the Licensor agreed to grant licensing rights for their gasification technology, which converts waste solid fuel sources into a gaseous form, in the territory of Ontario, Canada.

License Property

Gasification is a process that converts carbonaceous materials, such as coal, petroleum, biofuel, or biomass, into carbon monoxide and hydrogen by reacting the raw material, such as house waste, or compost at high temperatures with a controlled amount of oxygen and/or steam. The resulting gas mixture is called synthesis gas or syngas and is itself a fuel. Gasification is a method for extracting energy from many different types of organic materials.

License Grant

The Assignor hereby grants to the Assignee, for the Assignment Term only, an indivisible, right and assignment to make, use, lease, sell, and otherwisepractice commercially the defined Assigned subject matter.  Assigned subject matter relates to scientific information disclosed to Assignee by the Assignor, and useful in identifying and optimizing the basic physical and chemical effects underlying the Assigned Products or performing Assigned Services.

License Property

'Assigned Trademark' Santilli's Magnetiona, Santilli's MagneGasa, Santilli's PlasmaArcFlowa Technology, Santilli's Magneculesa, Santilli's Magneliquidsa, or other word and/or design, used with or without any other word and/or design,in or as a brand name for Assigned Products or Assigned Services or Assigned Systems.  The Assignee shall form three companies to exploit the technology in Europe, Asia and United States.

The MagneGas(TM) technology permits fuel production with a sufficient energy density to be used as a combustible fuel in a compressed form. The Company believes that MagneGas(TM) can be cost competitive to other liquid fuels when produced in large quantities.

The Company expects that revenues can also be generated from both the elimination and processing of liquid waste. It is intended that MagneGas(TM) be sold for any fuel application including metal cutting, automotive, electric generators, cooking and heating. MagneGas(TM) is produced by processing liquid wastes of fossil or biomass origin utilizing PlasmaArcFlow(TM) reactors. These reactors flow liquids through a submerged electric arc. The arc essentially decomposes the liquid molecules into a plasma at 7,000 to 10,000 degrees Farenheit ('F') composed of ionized hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and carbon (C) atoms, plus solid precipitates. The technology then controls the recombination of H, O and C into clusters of molecules under new internal bonds.
