CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 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.
API’s Director of Engineering, Mr. Sean McIntosh, said: “We are excited about the development of this new product, which showcases the versatility of our technology. This handwarming device can be used for recreational, first aid, and harsh environment applications by such diverse groups as outdoor enthusiasts, sports fans, the military, and emergency responders. The inherent safety, affordability, durability, and heat output will enable us to successfully introduce this product and ultimately capture a share of these multimillion dollar target markets. Upon completing the first phase of this development, we will consider scaling this product up and down to target other new applications.”
