AlumiFuel Power, Inc. Announces Delivery of Its First Production Hydrogen Generator


AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTCBB: AFPW), (the “Company”), announced today that it has taken delivery of its first production unit hydrogen generator, the PBIS-1000. API also announced that, with the help of its local manufacturing partner, Apex Piping Systems (see API news release of September 28, 2009), its production line is fully ready for mass production of its hydrogen generators. The design and construction of this third generation of the PBIS-1000 incorporates significant feedback from customers, and customer deliveries are expected to begin in early 2010.


API’s PBIS-1000 relies on the robust chemical reaction among aluminum, water, and proprietary additives. Operation of the generator is simple: two 32-oz. “aluminum can” cartridges containing aluminum powder and the proprietary additives, are loaded into the reactor vessels. Water from practically any source, including salt or brackish water, is poured into the water tank, and a hand pump is then used to inject water into the cartridges, generating 1,000 liters of hydrogen in 20 minutes.


API’s Director of Engineering, Mr. Sean McIntosh, said: “We are of course very excited about the delivery of our first production unit hydrogen generator, but we are even more excited about having a very robust and agile manufacturing system in place to quickly and easily ramp up our production in a very cost-effective manner. And there is nothing in the market that even comes close to this unit in terms of its versatility to handle a variety of applications.”


API’s Chief Technology Officer, Mr. John Boyle, added: “In an age of frequent international outsourcing, we have kept the production of nearly all of our generator components very local. While beneficial to the U.S. economy at large, keeping our production local was driven by one very practical concern: quality of components. When it comes to the kind of high quality components needed in any system involving hydrogen, the U.S. is still the world leader. And many of the best U.S. manufacturers are found right here on the East Coast.”

Awesome New Company Press Release.

AlumiFuel Power, Inc. Developing Flameless Ration Heater.

Early production stage hydrogen generation company AlumiFuel Power, Inc. (“API”), the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based wholly owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTCBB: AFPW), (the “Company”), announced today that it has conducted successful testing of a new generation Flameless Ration Heater (FRH) prototype using its AlumiFuel powder mix, which is customized to serve a variety of applications.
API’s FRH system is based on the reaction of water with aluminum powder and proprietary additives to produce heat. This fuel mixture has been customized to fit into standard FRH packaging and uses similar operational procedures. First phase internal testing has confirmed that API’s technology is less expensive, and produces more heat more quickly than existing FRH products, which use magnesium powder-based mixtures. Standard FRH packaging includes a polyester pouch containing the powder, which is activated by adding a small quantity of water to the packet, and then placing it in a tilted position in the box containing the food ration.

The FRH has numerous military and commercial food product applications in the U.S. and virtually all other developed countries. The most well-known such product is the U.S. military’s Meal-Ready-to-Eat (MRE) ration. Over the current five year period, the U.S. Department of Defense will spend up to $950 million on these MREs, purchasing some 42 million units per year. The FRHs are purchased by the MRE prime contractors (assemblers) under a subcontract, at a cost of approximately $36 million per year. In addition to generating more heat for less cost in the same packaging, this new technology conforms perfectly to current MRE performance requirements, and operates in an identical manner to current MRE Flameless Ration Heaters.

The nanoscale materials characterization performed at Drexel’s Nanotechnology Institute has been instrumental in API’s customization of this fuel mixture for FRH applications. (See API news release of July 16, 2009 for more information on API’s membership in the Drexel Nanotechnology Consortium).

API’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Cade, said: “We are excited about our newest development and its immense market potential. We will be working with key contacts in industry and government to commercialize this product on a mass scale. In addition, we are already developing a more advanced second generation prototype that will make this product even more safe and affordable, which would further increase its market share potential.”

New Press Release.

AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTCBB: AFPW), (the “Company”), announced today that it is developing a new hand-held flameless heating device with several commercial application possibilities.
The flameless heating device uses packets of API’s patented mixture of aluminum powder and proprietary additives. Upon reacting with water, the packets release hydrogen gas, which then pass through various surfaces and chemicals that induce a flameless reaction of hydrogen with the oxygen from the air, resulting in the release of heat. Furthermore, the exothermic nature of the aluminum-water reaction results in the production of additional heat. The components will be integrated into convenient wallet-sized packaging. The system will feature no moving parts or toxic components and will be safe, portable, and easy to use. Each packet will generate heat for over an hour at rates that will allow this device to be safely held in bare hands. Furthermore, as no carbon monoxide is released as a result of the reaction, the system is safe to use in any environment. The packets used in this process can be easily discarded after use.

AlumiFuel Power Corp. Operating Subsidiary AlumiFuel Power, Inc. Customizes Its Powder Mixtures Through Nanotechnology Analysis.

Press Release Source: AlumiFuel Power Corporation On Thursday July 16, 2009,

CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AlumiFuel Power Corporation (“the Company”) (OTCBB: AFPW) said today that its wholly owned operating subsidiary, AlumiFuel Power, Inc. (“API”), based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, an early production stage hydrogen generation company, has announced new breakthroughs in its AlumiFuel powdered aluminum mixes for specific applications as a result of nanotechnology materials analysis made possible by its membership in Drexel University’s Nanotechnology Consortium and the resultant direct interaction with the Drexel Nanotechnology Institute (DNI).
As a member of the Drexel Nanotechnology Consortium, API has access to the world-class Central Research Facilities of Drexel University, including state-of-the-art analytical and imaging labs and a micro fabrication lab. The labs rely on a vast array of advanced equipment for electron microscopy, spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, micro fabrication and other nanoscale functions.
The Drexel relationship has given API cutting edge capabilities to analyze, at the atomic level, pre- and post-reacted AlumiFuel powder mixtures and to observe small samples during the reaction. This technology allows for very precise observations of the fundamental chemical mechanisms that accelerate or decelerate the reaction, which will ultimately lead to more controllability and higher yields. API has processed dozens of images and spectrographs capturing the variety of crystal growth occurring during the reaction and also the shape, size and surface characteristics of the aluminum before the reaction
API’s Chief Technology Officer, Mr. John Boyle, a nationally renowned hydrogen expert, said, “These observations already have helped API tailor the size, shape and dispersion of AlumiFuel mixtures for various applications -- ranging from a rapid low temperature release of hydrogen for inflating weather balloons, to a slower steady release of hydrogen for fuel cells to generate electricity or a high temperature reaction to power steam turbines for underwater propulsion
As a result of this synergy, API and DNI are also collaborating in the pursuit of various Department of Defense R&D program opportunities, with DNI serving as a subcontractor to API on selected Small Business Technology Transfer and Small Business Innovative Research proposals.
API’s President & CEO, Mr. David Cade, said, “We are extremely fortunate to have such a close working relationship with Drexel Engineering. This has enabled API to more aggressively pursue our business plan as we commercialize our technology and penetrate our target markets.”

Inhibiton Therapeutics Completes Name Change to AlumiFuel Power Corporation

Company to Begin Trading Under Symbol “AFPW” on OTC Bulletin Board at Market Open on July 6, 2009

Thursday, June 4, 2009


Press Release.

Inhibiton Therapeutics Inc. stockholders have approved a name change to AlumiFuel Power Corp., the company announced Thursday.
The renaming follows Centennial-based Inhibiton's acquisition of HPI Partners LLC and its subsidiary, AlumiFuel Power Inc.
"We believe given the immediate impact API will have on the company it makes sense to identify the public entity with that operating subsidiary to provide continuity for our shareholders, interested investors and the alternative energy community," Henry Fong, president of Inhibiton (OTCBB: IHBT), said last month when the proposed name change was announced.
"We are continuing to pursue our biotechnology research project; however, the board also intends to investigate strategic alternatives available to the company with respect to the two separate business divisions," Fong said then.
The company's symbol will change on the OTC Bulletin Board.
The purchase signaled that Inhibiton is branching out from its prior focus on biotechnology research on fighting cancer.
Inhibiton's all-stock deal for HPI Partners and AlumiFuel Power was worth $12 million, Inhibiton said when it was announced in December.
HPI and AlumiFuel are based in Philadelphia. AlumiFuel is an alternative-energy company seeking to commercialize a process for generating hydrogen gas and steam, to be used where onsite, on-demand fuel sources are needed.
The deal calls for members of HPI to receive up to $12 million of Inhibiton’s stock in exchange for all interest in HPI, including ownership of AlumiFuel, its intellectual property and business operations.
AlumiFuel processes generate hydrogen gas and steam, which drive fuel cells for backup and portable power, filling inflatable devices such as weather balloons.
