9 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2016
Basis of Presentation [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation – The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Principles of Consolidation [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nanotech. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company maintains various cash balances in two financial institutions located in Daly City, California. These balances are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insures up to $250,000. On occasion, balances may temporarily exceed such coverage. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments, which could include commercial paper and certificates of deposits, with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investments with maturities greater than three months and less than on year are classified as short term investments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk [Policy Text Block]

Concentrations of Credit Risk – Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash deposits place with financial institutions. The Company had sales to one customer that comprised 100% of the Company’s total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The Company believes that, in the event its primary customers are unable or unwilling to continue to purchase the Company’s goods, there are a number of alternative customers at comparable prices.

Intangible Assets [Policy Text Block]

Intangible Assets – Intangible assets are comprised of intellectual property which is amortized on a straight-line basis over the assets’ respective life, for approximately 5 years. Intellectual property with a perpetual life in not amortized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Long - Lived Assets – Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such asset may not be recoverable. The determination of recoverability of long-lived assets is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset or its disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or net realizable value.

Revenue Recognition [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, goods are delivered, sales price is determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

Fair Value [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value – ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. It defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the significant inputs to the Company’s derivative liability calculation were Level 3 inputs.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

    Significant Unobservable Inputs  
    (Level 3)  
    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2016     2015  
Beginning balance - derivative liabilities $ 138,957   $ 181,723  
Additions   854,547     851,377  
Reduction on conversion of debt   (354,526 )   (358,672 )
Total gains   (105,245 )   (315,465 )
Ending balance - derivative liabilities $ 533,733   $ 358,963  
             
Change in unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings relating to derivatives still held as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 $ 105,245   $ 315,465  
Stock-Based Compensation [Policy Text Block]

Stock-Based Compensation – For stock and stock options awarded in return for services rendered, the expense is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is the vesting period. The Company estimates forfeitures that it expects will occur and records expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest.

Earnings Per Share [Policy Text Block]

Earnings Per Share – Basic net loss per share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding over the reporting period. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share amounts as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the following convertible debt and warrants to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive:

    Nine Months Ended  
    September 30,  
    2016     2015  
Convertible debt   111,241,669     1,221,371  
Stock warrants   1,068,926     135,733  
Total common shares issuable   112,310,595     1,357,104
