The “Tesla Killer” Stock (Jimmy Mengel) – Exposed!

"Blue gas" is just a term that Jimmy Mengel made up for marketing purposes. What he's really talking about here is hydrogen and hydrogen fuel cells that are being used to power electric vehicles.

It's true that vehicles using this technology emit 0 carbon, with water being their only byproduct, and it is being used as an alternative to the lithium-ion batteries that Tesla uses... which means it does present Tesla with some competition.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Here's how these engines work: you have 3 parts, an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte membrane. Hydrogen, or "blue gas", is passed through the anode and oxygen passes through the cathode. A catalyst splits the hydrogen molecules into its protons and electrons, and then the protons pass through the electrolyte membrane at the same time the electrons go through a circuit, generating electricity.

So the electricity here is generated through electrochemical reactions, completely different from that of the lithium-ion batteries Tesla uses.

This technology has actually been around in some form since the 1800's and was even used by NASA and the Russian Space Program. It's not quite the brand-new opportunity that Mengel leads one to believe, but it is still a very underutilized technology that has a lot of potential.

Anyways, let's get to the point here, which is the company he's teasing as the "Tesla killer".

Some of the better hints he gives us in the presentation include:

• it was the company behind the start of the fuel cell revolution over 40 years ago
• the founder was a geophysicist for Shell Oil in the 1970's
• it made a deal to supply 2,000 fuel cell buses in Shandong, China

And that's all we really need to piece this puzzle together.

The company he's talking about, which let me remind you he thinks could be better than buying Tesla pre-IPO, is Ballard Power (BLDP). This is where the clues point.

• Yes, Ballard Power was founded over 40 years ago, in 1979, and has been one of the biggest companies behind the expansion of the fuel cell
• Yes, Ballard Power's founder, Geoffrey Ballard, worked for Shell Oil in the 1970's
• And yes, Ballard Power formed a joint-venture company with Weichai Power in China to provide "at least" 2,000 fuel cell commercial vehicles

Not only that, but I've heard word from a subscriber who has confirmed that this is the stock being teased.

*Note: He also mentioned this stock only being around $3. This is the only clue that isn't accurate, but makes sense because the presentation is outdated and BLRD has risen a lot since then.

Will Ballard Power really provide you with massive gains of up to 11,666% and be a better purchase than shares of Tesla pre-IPO?

Well, the 12-month price forecast provided by CNN Business analysts isn't even close to that predicted by Jimmy Mengel, and the same goes for most other analysts' predictions. But, then again, these analysts aren't big on speculation and never predict the massive gains from winners like Tesla, as an example.

That said, there are some problems with this hydrogen fuel cell tech...

If it's been around so long, why isn't it already taking over?

Toyota Miria was the first publicly available hydrogen fuel cell car. This debuted back in 2014.

That's a while ago... so why aren't hydrogen fuel cell vehicles already more popular?

There are several reasons, one of the main ones being that there is a big lack of infrastructure. There just aren't enough charging stations to make these vehicles a good purchase for most people. And it's not like you can just charge your car at home like you can with Teslas and other electric battery-powered vehicles... fueling stations are a big expense.

These vehicles are also more expensive than battery-powered electric ones.

Not quite as environmentally-friendly as you would think... at least not yet

Furthermore, they aren't the environmentally-friendly planet savers that they are claimed to be by many... at least not yet.

Separating hydrogen gas from natural gas is one of the most common ways that it is obtained, and this is a process that actually gives off carbon emissions. 

CH4 + H2O (+ heat) --> CO + 3H2

Right now we are lacking the infrastructure to use wind and solar energy to separate hydrogen from water through electrolysis, which would likely be the best option. 

There is a lot of potential here, but things just aren't there yet for this to become mainstream for vehicles. That said, this could be good news for investors looking to get in early.
