"We are very pleased with the increase in both power and lifetime achieved to date by our Engineering team," states Mr. Remy Kozak, President and CEO of Power Air. "The new design and materials will form the basis of the ZAFC Indoor Generator Prototype we will demonstrate at the Fuel Cell Expo 2007 in Tokyo, Japan in early February."

Unit cells are assembled together to form a stack which delivers the electrical power from the Zinc Air Fuel Cell (ZAFC). The higher single cell voltage output versus current demand means more power output and higher efficiency for the fuel cell stack.

"Our new unit cell design delivers about 5% more power output from a smaller footprint," continued Mr. Andy Turnbull, Director of Engineering at Power Air. "As well as improved performance, the new design lends itself to faster assembly, and therefore reduced cost, of the fuel cell stack."

Power Air has announced previously its intent to unveil its Indoor Generator Prototype at four separate Fuel Cell Shows early in 2007, including the Hannover Messe in Germany in Mid April, Alternative Energy 2007 in Chicago, USA, and the Hydrogen & Fuel Cell 2007 International Conference and Trade Show in Vancouver, Canada in late April.

The ZAFC based generator to be demonstrated at the tradeshows will be similar in appearance to traditional generators - showing how readily Power Air's fuel celll stack can be incorporated into commercial applications. In function, however, the Power Air generator will deliver added value, including the ability to provide reliable back-up or occasional use power safely indoors with zero emissions.
