World's First Zinc Air Fuel Cell Powered Indoor Generator and Design Prototype
02/12/2007 - Power Air Corporation completed a three day demonstration of its Zinc Air Fuel Cell ("ZAFC") powered indoor generator prototype, as well as introduced the design prototype produced by its Asian Joint Venture partner, H-Plus Eco Ltd., at the Fuel Cell Expo 2007 in Tokyo, Japan.
"To date, Power Air has been demonstrating its Zinc Air Fuel Cell powered demonstration generator only to potential business partners covered under Non- Disclosure Agreements," states Mr. Donald Ceci, VP Sales and Marketing at Power Air. "Fuel Cell Expo 2007 was the ideal setting to unveil our exclusive technology to a wider audience, and to attract further Asian distribution and development partners to work with our Asian Joint Venture."
The fuel-cell based generator demonstration unit is powered by Power Air's ZAFC running on zinc fuel, which is non-flammable and non-explosive. Because there are no harmful emissions, Power Air's generator has the unique and exclusive advantage of being able to run indoors without the fear of carbon monoxide poisoning to the end user. The company emphasized these advantages by running the demonstration in a centre stage Seminar at the Fuel Cell Expo.
Near term applications for the indoor capable generator range from backup power for apartments, homes and businesses during power outages, to emergency power use for police, fire, homeland security, and disaster recovery.
"ZAFC based generators have the potential to revolutionize the back-up power industry," states Mr. Remy Kozak, President and CEO of Power Air. "Not only do we reduce emissions and offer a sustainable alternative to the traditional generator solutions, our technology creates a completely new market for extended run indoor backup power and positions us as the industry leader."
In addition to demonstrating its generator prototype at the Fuel Cell Expo 2007, Power Air plans to participate in the Hannover Messe -- the largest Energy and Industrial Trade Fair in the World, in Germany in mid-April, 2007, where over 100 companies and research institutions from 25 countries will reveal their latest products and developments. Power Air will demonstrate its indoor generator at Hannover Messe, as well at Alternative Energy 2007, a premier alternative energy and clean energy technology event, in Chicago in late April, 2007, and at the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells 2007: International Conference and Trade Show in Vancouver, Canada in April, 2007. These two events offer Power Air the opportunity to expose its technology and discuss collaboration on commercial products with both North American and International partners.
