The units used are two different units each utilizing different ‘baskets’ of frequencies. Take a look at the video here and see how the Zebra Mussel has significantly lost its attachment in just 50 hours! This test was conducted adjacent to open water along the St. Lawrence River just within the last two weeks.

During that test, our diver, very familiar with the Zebra Mussel problem along the River said that he normally had to use a steel scraper and two hands to scrape the mussels from their host. If he tried to pull one loose, it took enough effort that he normally crushed the shell in pulling it off. In our video, watch him pick them off with ease. We gave him a thin plastic sixty cent scraper which he is using.

This process is benign to the point that only the glue is affected. “We don’t believe that we even kill the mussel itself in the process,” said Masters.

Environmentally, we feel this is able to remove the obstruction to intakes and other treated structures and surfaces without doing any collateral damage to coatings such as paint or the like. It’s win-win for compliance issues.

Use of the devices will be provided as a service primarily. We are looking first to industrial uses. One unit most likely can treat an area about an acre in size. The unit is designed to operate continuously 24/7/365. We have similar products that have been in continuous use since 1995.

The application is entirely different, but the unit construction is the same. Some 29 US patents protect the product. The units are made here in the USA and we expect global interest from the maritime community.

The barnacle unit has been through formal testing (see videos and photos page) “We’re wanting to determine what area we can treat with one unit. Then we can calculate how many units might be used to protect a 1000 foot hull, for example. It is expected that once the fouling has been removed that a vessel can remain free of barnacles thereafter with continual use of the device. It’s ongoing protection,” says the spokesman.

Our thought is that because of the gargantuan costs to operate modern ships, if we are able to give an owner operator an additional week or so per year to be in a revenue position versus a shipyard position, then again everyone wins. The vessel is faster because of no fouling and it is in revenue use more days per year. Because the hull coating is not being attacked with scrubbers or high pressure removal methods, there is no environmental issue raised either. A new international IMO treaty will no longer allow paint particles to be deposited in waterways. Here is a viable method to be and remain compliant.

Ever since hulls have been placed in water fouling has been an issue. Appeal is global. Even at this early stage there is interest in Dubai. These devices can also be used by shipyards, marinas and the like. Our barnacle unit was initially tested quite successfully on piers on the Texas Gulf. Being east coast natives, we’re just now getting a realization of how extensive an issue the Zebra mussel is in the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River and its many tributaries.

Lion’s Beard Marine has worldwide distribution approval for both of these units. It’s more than enough to be very pleased with the prospects.

Lions Beard Marine LLC, has a series of products based upon a truly new and far reaching principle. These products are in various stages of development and testing which has been going on since inception in 1982 and by the writer's involvement since 2007.

THE CORE TECHNOLOGY These products all rely upon the new use of different forms of scalar energy. It is not unrealistic to say that the use of scalar energy is a new frontier for science across a multitude of uses. Our use of the technology is but a very small segment of what promises to be a monumental field. It is analogous to the automotive industry and our part is to make a brake pad.

OUR CORE PURPOSE AND VISION Lions Beard Marine has the opportunity to develop and market a series of products of use in the marine fields. Specifically we have an ability to rid boats, ships, marinas, yacht clubs, and waterways of age-old invasive species such as barnacles, zebra and quagga mussels, ship-boring worms, and certain forms of algae. Our products are of potential use worldwide and in innumerable situations. The large picture and our ultimate goal is to place appropriate capability units on seagoing ships in order to keep hulls free of barnacles. Also the use of these units in places such as marinas and yacht clubs will produce a quantum improvement in recreational pleasure boating. As an example, our development of the zebra mussel unit will be of great value in freeing intake pipes of infestation in places where industries and municipalities remove needed water supplies from large and small bodies of water.
