World's first zinc air fuel cell powered indoor generator demonstrated at Fuel Cell Expo 2007

Power Air Corporation has completed a three day demonstration of its Zinc Air Fuel Cell (ZAFC) powered indoor power 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.

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, pPresident 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."
