Major Agreements [Abstract]
Major Agreements	Note 3. Major Agreements On November 2, 2010, we entered into a lighting retrofit and maintenance agreement (the "Riverbay Agreement") to provide energy management lighting installation and services to Riverbay Fund, Inc. ("Riverbay"), the management company of Co-op City, located in Bronx, a borough of New York City. The Riverbay Agreement entails replacing and retrofitting over 6,000 lighting fixtures and elements and installing 205 new fixtures in eight parking structures within Co-op City. Project inception was subject to final approval from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ("NYSERDA") under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which was obtained in March 2011. The agreement became effective on the date of execution and its term shall end ten years from the date of substantial completion of installation by GEM of the fixtures, which substantial completion shall occur when GEM has installed 80% of the fixtures. We have received $800,000, based upon meeting certain installation milestones, from a grant received by Riverbay. Prior to us entering into the Assignment Agreement (as discussed below), we were scheduled to receive during the term of the Riverbay Agreement an additional amount of approximately $22,000 per month, to be adjusted based upon the actual savings on the project. On November 15, 2011, GEM entered into an Assignment, Assumption and Indemnity Agreement (the "Assignment Agreement") with a certain unaffiliated third party (the "Assignee"), pursuant to which GEM sold to the Assignee for the purchase price of $992,000 the energy conservation measures, together with the accounts receivables, equipment and related assets, under the Riverbay Agreement, related to the Co-op City project. The purpose of the Assignment Agreement was for GEM to monetize total projected revenues of approximately $1,900,000 under the Riverbay Agreement in order to provide GEM with immediate cash liquidity. GEM will continue to be responsible for all work, obligations, liabilities, claims and expenses required by the Riverbay Agreement. Under the Assignment Agreement, as of December 31, 2012, GEM has received approximately $316,200 of the purchase price. Subject to and upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the Assignment Agreement, including Assignee's lender approval and funding conditions which have not been satisfied to date, GEM expects to receive the balance of the purchase price. We can provide no assurances that these conditions will be satisfied. We caution investors against making investment decisions based on any expectation that the balance of the purchase price will be paid to GEM. Effective as of October 12, 2010, we entered into a license and marketing agreement with Green RG Management, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, "Green RG") pursuant to which we acquired a license to market exclusively and distribute patented and proprietary light-emitting diode technology from Green RG, in exchange for between 10 million and 30 million restricted shares of our common stock, based on the achievements of certain performance thresholds. Under the agreement, we were obligated to issue to Green RG 10 million restricted shares of our common stock, which shares will be fully vested once GEM has entered into bona fide written agreements to sell Green RG Products, generated as a result of opportunities presented to GEM by the licensors, having a value of at least $25 million. This Agreement was terminated during 2012 and no shares have been issued to Green RG. In connection with the execution of this agreement, we formed a new subsidiary, GEMRG, Inc.
