          Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1990-640, affd. 1 F.3d 954 (9th Cir.                 
          1993), control as to the income tax deficiencies.  In the                     
          aforementioned case it was decided that the taxpayer's energy                 
          device had a fair market value not in excess of $1,000 (the                   
          alleged purchase price was $80,000) and that the taxpayer was not             
          entitled to deductions and credits because his object was "solely             
          to gain a significant tax advantage and not to earn an economic               
          profit."  Petitioner has conceded the income tax deficiencies in              
          this case, which are based on a disallowance of $9,100 loss from              
          Evergreen Partnership I (Evergreen) and investment tax credit                 
          carrybacks and an investment tax credit of $4,176, $5,373,                    
          $5,335, $973 for 1980, 1981, 1982, and 1983, respectively.                    
          Additionally, respondent conceded that petitioner is not liable               
          for additions to tax under section 6659 for the taxable years                 
          1980, 1981, 1982, or 1983.                                                    
                                   FINDINGS OF FACT2                                    
               Petitioner resided in Veradale, Washington, at the time his              
          petition was filed in this case.  After high school, petitioner               
          served 4 years in the U.S. Marine Corps until September of 1955,              
          when he began college.  His major was in physical education.                  
          Petitioner obtained a degree in 1959 and a master’s degree in                 
          1961.  From 1961 through the time of trial, petitioner taught
