WE WON OUR RIGHT TO DO BUSINESS IN A LEGAL
CONTEST WITH THE FTC IN A BATTLE OF THE
EXPERTS…
This has been a really rocky road. It is so amazing that President Obama has ordered all
the American car makers to get another 10 miles per gallon out of their cars, and we
typically increase the mileage just with the HAFC kit by at least that with just about
anything we do when it is done right. In other words, right now there is only ONE entity
in this country that can take just about any make and model of car and exceed the
Presidents orders RIGHT NOW! That is incredible, because in January the FTC tried to
shut our main company the supplier of the HAFC kits down. In a one of a kind expert
report, the FTC has an expert physicist that claimed that it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone
(not just us) to get more than a 4% improvement in the fuel economy of any American
made car! Because of that purported FACT, it made all our representations of getting
over 50% improvement the majority of the time impossible! This expert claimed that
about 96% of the gasoline in a vehicles is burned (leaving only 4% to leave the tailpipe.)
While this is not untrue, that does not mean that the burned fuel is making any power on
the wheels, instead most of it is being burning in the catalytic converter UNDER the
vehicle for NO mechanical benefit to the owner of the car. This report, while technically
true, was irrelevant to the nature of the internal combustion engine process and the
overall fuel economy of a vehicle. The FTC’s expert report became the justification to
put us out of business. Imagine the President of the United States and all his expert
advisors ordering the car makers to do what this FTC expert claims is impossible.
Imagine the FTC of this administration trying to shut down the company that can give the
President what he wants.
The FTC came in and on the strength of this expert got a judge, exparte (means they
ONLY heard ONE side of the story) to order that all of Dutchman Enterprises’ bank
accounts be frozen and the company’s assets be confiscated and the company be
restricted from making any claims or doing any business. They froze the accounts with
hundreds of thousands of dollars in them on Thursday, would not even allow the
paychecks for the employees to be paid on Friday. All the employees went home and the
business was shut down based upon no complaints at all to the FTC… ONLY this report
from the expert that stated that what we were claiming (and what the President was
ordering to happen by 2011) was impossible. It was a disaster for us!
We tried to get the judge to at least give us access to a portion of our funds to be able to
hire a lawyer, but the FTC refused to grant us even that one small right to counsel. So, the
leader of our project tried to mount a defense without any legal counsel. They even froze
his personal accounts and the company had nothing to operate on or use to defend itself.
Our guys went to court and the judge soon realized the injustice of it all and allowed us to
have money for our defense. We also asked if we could use some of our own money to
hire our own expert physicist to rebut their Doctor of physics. The judge allowed us to
spend $5,000 for that purpose. That turned out to be enough, because a Harvard engineer
that had been following this project volunteered to help out for free, and it turned out, his
father has a double doctorate in materials and in physical engineering with a master’s
degree in internal combustion engine design, and is world renown with almost 100
scientific abstracts published and books translated into most languages of the world. The
father was overseas and volunteered to come to the USA to give his opinion if we would
just pay his expenses. We also got the ex Vice President of the Society of Automotive
Engineers who designs internal combustion engines for GM, Volvo and Saab give us a
report on his opinion as well. The cost for both of these experts came to $5,000.
So, on February 5th, after a month of no activity and frozen accounts that almost
destroyed our business, we finally were ready to be heard in opposition to the FTC’s
heavy handed and totally unjustified attack on us. We had a hearing before judge Shipp in
Federal District Court. In the morning they put on their expert who stood by his report.
The judge was originally shocked to discover that the FTC had not ever gotten even on
complaint to justify this action. Our lawyer cross examined their expert and actually got
him to agree with every single point our experts were going to prove that day. He showed
him a report from the department of Energy showing that it was possible for the fuel
efficiency of cars to be increased by 50% by just injecting hydrogen into the combustion
chamber to help the gasoline burn better. Our lawyer asked the expert if he thought the
DOE was also lying about that fact. Our lawyer pointed out government web sites that
state that vehicles are only 15%-20% efficient while this expert was saying that vehicles
are 96% efficient. Our lawyer showed their expert facts and reports from car makers,
NASA, MIT, and even the encyclopedia to prove the folly of his assumptions. It was not
a very good day for their physicist. He was caught in defending physical principles that
are, on their face, true, but not relevant.
Then our experts explained to the judge why the report of their expert was not relevant to
the issue of fuel economy, and it became clear to the judge that their cryogenics expert
(even by his own admissions) was a poor selection on the part of the FTC for an expert to
give an opinion on internal combustion engines. The long and short of it is that we
PROVED in that courtroom on the 5th of February that our HAFC technology could
actually increase the efficiency of vehicles (in the unanimous opinions of all our experts)
by at least as much as 200% without violating even one of the laws of physics. The judge
was convinced, and ruled that our bank accounts be unfrozen and that we not be
restrained from doing any activity that we are currently doing and that we do not, in his
opinion, pose a danger to consumers.

Dennis Lee and Dutchman Win Round
Against FTC
In a major victory for the science of hydrogen-boost related systems, Dennis Lee
and Dutchman Enterprises were exonerated after a month of being shut down by
an FTC temporary restraining order for their super-mileage claims.

After a month of having their assets and
website frozen by a US Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) injunction, Dennis
Lee and Dutchman Enterprises were
exonerated Wednesday by NJ Federal
Judge, Michael Shipp who ruled in favor
of Lee and Dutchman, who have been
selling a “Hydrogen Assist Fuel Cell”
(HAFC) that they “guarantee” to improve
mileage by at least 50%. Lee is free of all
encumbrances.
In a thirteen page statement meticulously
explaining his reasons, the judge
apparently pointed out that the FTC’s
charge was inadequate, and that the
expert witness opinion by FTC’s
physicist, Dr. Halperin, was trumped by
the internal combustion expert witness
who spoke in defense of Dutchman. The
physicist who the FTC produced as a key
witness, was not an expert in internal
combustion engines, and had given his
opinion that the claims being made by
Lee’s group were “impossible” to
achieve. The judge pointed out that
Halperin never had gotten a HAFC kit,
never put it together, never tested it, never
ran data. The defense, on the other
hand, had produced a great deal of evidence in support of their claim, with an expert
