Hydrogen Power Inc: Improvements to Hydrogen Generation Fuel Technology.

The company has developed a new technology for mixing its proprietary AlumiFuel(TM) fuel which significantly improves performance and cost effectiveness in its target energy applications.

HPI's new technology covers the production of hydrogen from aluminum, water and a proprietary reactant additive using an advanced processing technique and formula. This new mixing technology -- which creates a different and faster reaction than previously used mixing technologies -- has made possible the 60 percent increase in hydrogen generation yields and 45 percent reduction in fuel production costs specified in HPI's news release of December 3, 2007.

Cartridges filled with AlumiFuel(TM) powder are dropped into a reactor and when water is added, high purity hydrogen and steam are generated as a result of the chemical reaction. The hydrogen and/or steam can be fed into fuel cells, turbine-based power conversion modules, or directly into inflatable devices, such as weather balloons.

Mr. Ben Larson, HPI's Director of Business Development, said: "As the company moves into the hardware engineering development stage for product applications with selected partners, the new mixing breakthrough makes HPI's AlumiFuel(TM)-based technology highly competitive for certain portable, stationary power and underwater systems."

HPI is an alternative energy company with patented hydrogen generation technology based on a proprietary aluminum-water chemical reaction, and demonstrator prototypes using unique AlumiFuel(TM) drop-in recyclable cartridges. (1/7/08)
