AlumiFuel Power, Inc. Announces Breakthrough Technology Enhancement

CENTENNIAL, Colorado, Feb 23, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Early production stage hydrogen generation company AlumiFuel Power, Inc. ("API"), the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based wholly owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation /quotes/comstock/11k!afpw (AFPW 0.07, +0.00, +6.25%) , (the "Company"), announced today that it has developed a formulation which rapidly terminates its hydrogen-generating reaction of aluminum with water, facilitating its development and commercialization of advanced reactor systems for military and commercial applications.

The formulation is composed of a mixture of proprietary additives that are dissolved in water and added to the reaction. The aqueous solution is added using the same pathway as the primary water injection. Upon infusing with the main reactant mix, the additives immediately stop the production of hydrogen. A different additive infusion can be used to restart the reaction. Similar to other formulations of API's AlumiFuel mixture, the termination mix uses inexpensive, non-toxic ingredients.

This significant reaction-stopping or reaction-slowing enhancement increases the versatility and market penetration potential of API's products. It is of great importance for applications such as Navy Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), which require stop-and-start mission profiles, and back-up power modules, where load demands may vary.

API's Director of Engineering, Mr. Sean McIntosh, said, "This new development gives API's technology an additional advantage. Many of the applications that we are developing require us to be able to instantly stop and restart the reaction, and this breakthrough will allow us to introduce a higher level of control into these products. We are formulating a second generation mix with a higher efficiency and developing methods for integrating this concept into different reactor systems."

About AlumiFuel Power, Inc.

API (www.alumifuelpowerinc.com) is an early production stage alternative energy company that generates hydrogen gas and superheated steam through the chemical reaction of aluminum, water, and proprietary additives. This technology is ideally suited for multiple niche applications requiring on-site, on-demand fuel sources, serving National Security and commercial customers. API's hydrogen feeds fuel cells for portable and back-up power, fills inflatable devices such as weather balloons, and can replace costly, hard-to-handle and high pressure K-Cylinders. Its hydrogen/heat output is also being designed and developed to drive turbine-based underwater propulsion systems and auxiliary power systems, and as the fuel for Flameless Ration Heaters. API has significant differentiators in performance, adaptability, safety and cost-effectiveness in its target market applications, with no external power required and no toxic chemicals or by-products.
