Global Resource Corporation Completes Phase 1 Testing of Prototype
WEST BERLIN, N.J., May 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global Resource Corp.
(OTC Pink Sheets: GBRC - News), a developer of a patent-pending microwave technology
and machinery for extracting oil and gas, announces today the Prototype GRFR1
machine has successfully completed Phase 1 of testing and has begun its Phase
2 testing protocol.
On April 29th 2008, the Company reported that GRFR1, the 1 ton Prototype
machine, was successfully engineered, completed and had passed its initial
testing. The initial testing phase was focused on creating a strong vacuum for
the machine to operate with.
Phase 1 included a series of tests to ensure GRFR1 is getting maximum
energy to the product and minimal energy bounce-back. Specifically, the test
was designed to confirm that our technology is able to viably break down a
larger weight of tires while maintaining a high rate of energy generated
versus energy expended.
Jeff Kimberly, the COO of GRC, has been in charge of the testing and
commented from Rockford, "The gasification results from Phase I were extremely
encouraging and confirms our development of the technology is on the right
track, notwithstanding the very low power level of microwave energy that we
were testing with."
With Phase 1 complete, the Company is moving forward with Phase 2 in the
near term. Phase 2 tests the use of larger amounts of energy in a fully
automatic continuous flow process and requires four specific microwave
systems. Specially designed "tubes" that meet the specific frequency and power
requirements to crack the hydrocarbon chain in the feedstock that is being
tested are in the process of being acquired, the Company currently has two of
these units on site. Once GRFR1 has been fully tested and the Company moves to
rapid commercialization, the necessary tubes will be manufactured in bulk by
one of several outsourced manufacturers. Global Resource management has
already been in contact with these manufacturers, receiving price quotes,
output potential and time to market estimates in order to ready the tubes for
production upon receiving machine orders.
When Phase II testing is complete, we will notify all interested parties
and schedule the demonstration of the prototype machine.
"We are looking forward to Phase 2 testing in the near future and are
confident we will acquire the necessary tubes, a process that will be
significantly quickened when we have outsourced manufacturing," said COO Jeff
Kimberly. "While this has been a longer lag time, we felt it prudent to not
bulk manufacture the tubes until we received orders, thus maintaining our
overhead to a minimum. The GRFR1 is performing to standards and expectations,
and even exceeding what we had expected in some cases."
