Helix Power Generators Inc.
Business Profile
Helix Power Generators Incorporated was formed to take advantage of the opportunity offered by becoming an authorized dealer for Langson Energy, Inc. of Carson City, Nevada. The dealership agreement enables Helix to sell, service, and maintain a device that is known as a Gas Letdown Generator or GLG. The agreement between Helix and Langson was reached in December of 2011.
Rick Dixon, the president and founder of Helix Power Generators, Inc. is optimistic about the acceptance of GLG devices and is planning to leave no stone unturned as his agreement with Langson grants him the freedom to compete in all American markets. As a proud business person with an independent streak Mr. Dixon clearly states on his website that “NO TAXPAYER DOLLARS WERE USED TO DEVELOP THIS TECHNOLOGYâ€.
The Langson Energy device according to Mr. Dixon is an ingenious accumulation of off-the-shelf components that are commercially available for units under 1MW yet are implemented in a way that others have overlooked. It is the formula for implementation that allows Helix to offer a performance guarantee backed by Langson with a planned recovery of investment in less than 3 years.
Although there are other authorized dealers for the Langson Energy device Helix touts its exclusive dedication to this product, its strategic location in the energy capital of America, Houston, TX, and its dedication to planning, execution, and service as the ingredients to lead the pack in this promising industry. The units which are advertised to work at pressures up to 600 psi recapture energy that is presently wasted and have no emissions.
To date no units have been sold by Helix and the time quoted to get one on the ground and working is between 4 and 6 months. According to Helix, the manufacturing of these devices will be in Carson City, NV at facilities tied to the Langson Energy headquarters.

Dewey said the Earthcare deal was exclusive at the last council meeting. What a lie. Either she told a lie or repeated it like a trained parrot.
Parrot or puppet. IF the check’s not cashed, there’s still time to for her to show some grace.
Nice find CCO. I’m surprised not to see this in the CP (sarc). The ink on the check is not even dry yet and the suspicions we all had are apparently coming to light. Thanks to the CCO for doing the research that Dewey should have done before recommending these jokers. No wonder they didn’t want to wait another 2 weeks to vote….too many skeletons in too many closets. Here’s a link to the Helix website…

Seems like the follow up steps would be to review the transcript of the City Council meeting where Earthcare supposedly said they had ‘exclusive’ distributorship. Second step would be to review the Loan Agreement, and see if the City’s attorney was smart enough to make their ‘exclusive’ distributorship a loan covenant or the like. In summary, it is one thing to make a false statement before City Council, it is another thing altogether to sign a loan agreement and receive $ 5 Million under known false pretenses–I believe that is fraud ?
Notice Helix is proud to not be on the government dole but Earthcare didn’t invest a red cent of their own money. The Earthcare dudes have spent three months shaking down the cast of idiots known as GAGE, the Mayor, and the Evansville City Council.
So which is it Ms Dewey:
Did Helix purchase its dealership, which allows it to “sell, service, and maintain a device that is known as a Gas Letdown Generator”, from Langson Energy, Inc. of Carson City, Nevada, or did Helix purchase its dealership from EarthCare Energy of Humble, TX?

Debbie Doobie must have been stoned when she decided this was a good idea. Wow man, cool idea, $5M? No problem man! Debbie Doobie strikes again.
Hey Doc Adams—Are you personally still welling to invest in this Company? Big wrong move Doc! You should have supported Friends motion to delay.
I don’t think a delay was appropriate. No amount of time would have ever made this deal a good one. There was more than enough information available at the time of the vote for a rational person to see that this proprosal just didn’t add up. It is truly going to be unforgiveable for those that voted for this. And I predict that the best information is yet to come. So get the popcorn out. It’s about to get even hotter for Dewey and Winnecke and their gang of five.
re: your screen name, did the World Trade Federation sign an agreement with GAGE ?
Seriously? Would you understand WWJDGAGE? better?
All five of those idiots on council who listened to Doobie and voted for this loan should be made to forfeit every dime of their pay until this is paid back in full. Winnecke too.
Why don’t we cut out all the Bull S@#$ talk and serve Dewey with a subpoena so we know all the details of this fiasco. The C/P does’t have any reporters to follow up on this story or maybe the C/P is sleeping with Gage and wants to keep it under cover.LETS MOVE ,with some action ,we have had enougth talk.
Someone needs to tell Debbie Dewey and the Evansville City Council
that THIS is how you keep from getting burned when pledging taxpayer
funds to private industry corporation incentive packages and loans.

Now I have heard it suggested that the current President of GAGE is
paid more than any other local government official. In my personal
opinion, that would be sad if true, and I am basing that solely on job
performance as demonstrated.
Since the finding of significant additional facts that should have
been known to Ms Dewey and presented to the city council, but were
not, the EarthCare proposal should be rescinded by the city council at
the next public meeting on the Monday April 9th, 2012.
At that same city council meeting on the 9th, Ms. Dewey should be
reprimanded for not doing the due diligence in this matter that is
part of her responsibilities as President of GAGE.
Shouldn’t the attorney for the city council have been asked to step in with what questions would be concerns to investigate in this matter? This was/is a very complex issue and was simply pushed through. The more time that goes by now, the more chance that the city (us) will be completely stuck with this mess.
My suggestion? Contact your councilman/woman immediately and demand action on rescinding this mess. Then, after the contract is voided, if there is still interest in Earthcare, demand a lot of homework and research be put before the public so that everyone understands. I think that it would be fair to say that further research on the part of the city will find that Earthcare is not a $5 million bargain.
As an aside, I did email Dan Adams the day before the vote and asked him to think long and hard about supporting a $5 million give away. He seemed to feel that the contract was the key thing to look at and he was comfortable with it. I did point out that when there is a threat involved, as in “take this now or we will walk”, it is better to let them walk. If it feels hinky, it probably is.
“…Although there are other authorized dealers for the Langson Energy device…”
Is EarthCare one of those “authorized dealers”, or are they marketing a “knock-off” version? Which came first, the chicken(Langston) or the “egg”(Earthcare)? Is EarthCare really in the process of getting a patent or license, or just signing a marketing contract with Langson or Helix that requires a fixed deposit or start-up fund of say, $3 million to $5 million? They need to pay themselves first, you know.
Why is Langson not manufacturing the devices and sending out their own sales teams? Wouldn’t that provide a greater ROI, whether it is their money or ours?
I was disappointed to see Dr. Dan gushing about this product and throwing in with Dizzy Mizzy and Beaver, who appeared to have their strings pulled by Robinson. That pair, with Mizzy spouting about needing good paying jobs for Evansville, should have been a red flag for him. Doesn’t Mizzy get about $2.50 and tips at the saloon? Maybe she’s qualified to sweep floors at Park 41.
Whenever a salesman starts threatening to go elsewhere if the sale isn’t completed “…right this moment!”, it’s time to drop back and check things out one more time.
Both McGinn and Friend were asking the right questions and having the concerns anyone who is considering giving a near stranger $5 million of the taxpayer’s money, should have.
Good reporting CCO. Keep digging. There is more to this story.
Never ever, negotiate with someone that gives you an ultimatum. 5 members of our council offered themselves freely to a company that made a “do or die” threat. That is not leadership, that is a powerless cowards way.
Rattlerenergy.com is another site also claiming a partnership with Langson for the total flow generator.
Here is Rattler Energy’s Face Book Announcement. The City has been shaken down by a bunch of amateurs. Missy and Weaver will be crying “Doobie told me to” come election time. How stupid can one town be?
Drag Racing Team Forms Renewable Energy Distributorship

For Immediate Release:
Drag Racing Team Forms Renewable Energy Distributorship
Reno, NV — After spending more than 49 years in the drag racing industry as the owner of Rattler Racing, Ricky Ruiz has turned his innovative engine design skills towards a new type of mechanics, distributing the Langson Energy Gas Letdown Generator.
Invented by Richard the “Texas Ranger†Langson, Ruiz’s longtime friend and racing partner, the Langson Energy machine is a generator that converts pressure into energy, resulting in a cost-efficient green energy solution. After their successful racing association, it was only natural that Ricky the “Nevada Rattler†Ruiz joined by his son Ryan, would work with Richard to introduce the machines to the marketplace. Ricky and Ryan created Rattler Energy in 2008.
“Companies come and go all the time, but I’ve known Richard for a long time,†Ricky says. “His family has been doing business for itself since the 1960s and it’s solid. So when this opportunity came along it just made sense.†Growing up around the racetrack, Ryan got started working with his dad in the family business early on. His eight years of professional experience in the manufacturing industry gives him a solid understanding of the importance of efficient, cost-saving solutions and earned him the role of company president.
Now that the product is on the market, both Ryan and Ricky are excited about their new venture. “We’re talking about a machine that is completely green,†Ricky says. “The best thing about it is that it takes pressure people are already creating and turns it into energy, with zero pollution.†And while Ryan has been very supportive of the nation’s movement to be energy efficient, he says it hasn’t always been cost efficient to go green. “I think that the exciting part about our company is that we’re actually providing a service that is going to save other companies a lot of money,†he says. “If we could save a company $50,000 a year, which is very doable for some of these large manufacturers, that’s somebody’s job. That’s what we’re all about, not just being good for the environment, but being good for business.â€

Earthcare says they will be installing in 2 months but Helix and Rattler are giving 6 mo. to a year estimates. Connie Robinson and her 4 minions had better be ready to answer for this failure when it comes. They are pissing away Evansville’s money like a secret service agent in a Columbian whorehouse.
