About MNGA
MagneGas Corp. of Tarpon Springs, FL, an alternative energy company, creates and produces hydrogen based alternative fuel through the gasification of liquid waste.
The Company has developed a process which transforms various types of liquid waste through a proprietary plasma arc machine. Carbonize the waste for normal disposal is the end result of the process. A byproduct of the carbonization process produces an alternative to natural gas which is currently being sold in the metalworking market.
MagneGas produce gas bottled in cylinders for the purpose of distribution to the metalworking market as an alternative to acetylene. Additionally, the Company markets, for the sale or licensure, their proprietary plasma arc technology.

MNGA Future
According Freedonia Group who reported on the global market for metalworking gasses, demand for industrial gases in metal welding and fabrication markets is projected to increase 8.6% per year to $5.6 billion in 2014. Gains will be driven primarily by expanding industrial production and construction activity.
As a result, the greatest opportunities for growth will emerge in China, India and other developing economies, where industrialization is proceeding most rapidly and where further infrastructural development is key to sustained economic growth. Western Europe, North America and Japan will remain the largest consumers of industrial gases for welding and fabrication markets, although growth opportunities will not equal those of developing economies.
Bottom Line: The penny stock of MNGA is at an all-time high and has had nice rally almost in tandem with Omni Ventures Inc.’s OMVE. The lack of any unit sales for fiscal 2011 doesn’t seem to be impeding the share price of the penny stock which raises some concern. Yet it’s hard to be trading penny stocks and see that stock chart above without saying “I wish I knew about MNGA in February”.
