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.”
