UNITED STATES AIR FORCE!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$
PHILADELPHIA, PA--(Marketwire -10/06/11)- Early production stage hydrogen generation company AlumiFuel Power, Inc. ("API"), the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based wholly owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTC.BB: AFPW.OB - News) (the "Company"), announced today it has been awarded a contract to deliver a PBIS-2000 Portable Balloon Inflation System to the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). The Company believes that this initial purchase will lead to additional units for operations throughout the world. In addition, the Company has been approached by other military and meteorological users from the US, NATO, and around the world interested in the Portable Balloon Inflation System technology and products.
This contract requires delivery of the system to the AFSOC customer by the end of February 2012, and includes 360 cartridges as well as a spare parts kit, a tool kit and two days of training by API engineers at the customer's site.
The PBIS-2000 expands the capability of API's current family of hydrogen generators, which includes the PBIS-1000 (for 100g balloons) and the PBIS-lite (designed for 30g pieball balloons). The PBIS-2000 generates sufficient hydrogen to inflate a 200g weather balloon within 20 minutes using up to 6 AlumiFuel Cartridges contained in a single reactor vessel; this represents significantly more hydrogen than is required for the PBIS-1000. While the footprint, weight and safety features of the PBIS-2000 are similar to the PBIS-1000, the configuration has been modified such that the system operates at ambient (atmospheric) pressure (below 10 psig) so that the user never has to deal with a high pressure system such as the industry standard K-Cylinder (2265 psig).
The current weather balloon lift gas market is pegged at $150-$200 million per year, and encompasses military as well as civil government meteorological users worldwide. Traditionally, helium has been used as the primary lift gas for weather balloons, but with the increasing scarcity and cost of helium, users are rapidly switching to hydrogen and API's PBIS family is far more mobile, safe, and cost effective than other on-site hydrogen generation systems. Based on customer feedback, API believes the PBIS family can become field standard and lift gas product of choice for NATO military users and meteorological customers worldwide. After purchasing any unit of the PBIS family, typical customers continue to purchase replacement cartridges to launch up to 700 balloons per unit each year (up to 4,200 cartridges).
API's President & CEO, Mr. David Cade, said, "This Air Force award validates API's unique Portable Balloon Inflation System technology and products. The PBIS-2000 is a significant addition to our PBIS family. Not only does this system fill an existing gap for much larger weather balloons, which constitute a greater portion of the market, but it represents a significant advancement in the state of hydrogen generation technology. The greatest inhibitor to launching weather balloons in remote locations -- where the military operates and considerable meteorological research is done -- is the cost and difficulty of transporting the source of lift gas. The PBIS family will drastically reduce these factors, and enable launches in previously inaccessible areas worldwide; this also creates a logistics supply chain for hydrogen to power fuel cells in the field."

AlumiFuel Power, Inc. Makes Further Advancements in Its Portable Power System Development
Today : Monday 10 October 2011
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 it has made further important technology upgrades to its advanced portable power system (see API news release of June 14, 2011 on the development of a single hydrogen generator unit combining the AlumiFuel cartridge with the reactor vessel, which significantly reduces weight and increases the energy density or runtime, all at very low pressure). The system is being designed for a 25W - 100W power level and is expected to have energy densities exceeding 400Whr/kg, offering higher energy density at lower cost than lithium ion battery-powered systems.
The overall global market for man-portable power (generator and battery replacement) is nearly $8 billion annually, including $4.75 billion for portable systems (100W-500W) and $3.13 billion for mobile systems (25W-100W). The bulk of this market is in the U.S. and Europe, and encompasses military applications powering battlefield electronics, sensors, and munitions; first responder/emergency preparedness applications powering radios and other electronic and medical devices for Homeland Security & Disaster Relief; and commercial applications such as shoulder-mounted video cameras.
API's new cartridge/reactor design has been tailored to generate sufficient hydrogen flow to power a 25W-100W PEM fuel cell. API is now in the process of fully integrating a PEM fuel cell with this new hydrogen generation technology into a small light weight portable power generator that can replace lithium ion batteries and small gasoline/or methanol-fueled generators. The generated hydrogen has been analyzed by a New Jersey-based laboratory, which has certified that the hydrogen gas is 99.99+% pure, making it suitable for PEM fuel cells according to SAE standards.
The system is built upon the 200W man-portable power source developed with API's portable power partner, Ingenium Technologies, which first proved the ability to achieve a sustained controlled AlumiFuel reaction. The new cartridge packaging and powder mixes produce high yield reactions at ambient pressure. Moreover, API has now fully automated the system by developing a new algorithm that generates hydrogen at a very controllable rate, allowing quick and easy throttling. This automated system can be integrated with a fuel cell as a portable power product, and API and Ingenium are in active discussions with potential fuel cell company partners. The new automated unit is also ready to be used as a standalone system to fill metal hydride cylinders already in the field in many military and commercial applications.
API's Director of Engineering, Mr. Sean McIntosh, said: "We have overcome the most difficult hurdles in the development of our new portable power system. It is now a matter of integrating all of our working components into a compact user-friendly package, and we are very confident in being able to penetrate this large target market."

Early production stage hydrogen generation company AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTCBB: AFPW) (the "Company") announced today that during the past several days the Company has received inquiries from shareholders on several issues for clarification. Accordingly, the Company is addressing the principal inquiries as follows.
Is the Air Force order a firm order and what is the likelihood of future orders?
The US Air Force Special Operations Command award to AlumiFuel Power, Inc. is a firm Air Force contract order. The order is for a working PBIS-2000 hydrogen generation unit, along with 360 AlumiFuel cartridges, spares kit, tool kit, and two days of on-site operator training -- all typical requirements for any operational system. The Air Force customer has briefed the unique capabilities of the system to numerous other military and meteorological users, all of whom have expressed interest in the unit. These entities in aggregate have hundreds of balloon launch sites around the world, with each site typically launching 1-2 balloons daily, with the requisite ongoing requirement for AlumiFuel cartridges (the razor/razor blades analogy). The Company press release of October 7, 2011 details the advantages of the PBIS-2000 over other hydrogen generation systems in the field -- which is why users are so enthusiastic about the potential of this new unit.
How does AlumiFuel Power International factor into the Company's future financing plans, what is the progress to date, and has the Company met the current listing requirements for the Frankfurt Börse Stock Exchange?
AlumiFuel Power International (AFPI) has been listed on the Frankfurt Börse stock exchange since September 2010. While during most of that period of time there was little to no trading in the stock, more recently there has been increased daily volume and the price as of the close of business on October 10, 2011 was EURO 1.09. The Company owns 47,500,000 shares of AFPI. The Company's plan to generate investor awareness in AFPI in order to create a more liquid and stable trading market is in the initial stages as evidenced by recent trading. In addition to providing a market for the AFPI stock and its stockholders, one significant goal is to use the increased liquidity for the Company's capital raising activities by monetizing a portion of its shares. When successful, this will minimize the dilution to the current AFPW stockholders and potentially create other shareholder maximization initiatives.
In addition, AFPI has addressed and meets the current listing requirements for the Frankfurt Börse Stock Exchange.

Dmac: AFPW had a huge run and then had to consolidate at higher levels and it did. Holding majority of the gains from the run, trading at 006 (Oct 12)
They already are located on the "Ave of technology", named in the Top 10 upcoming technology companies in Philadelphia and have complete access to Drexel University. The stock was beaten down as every stock was in this economy and it got the spark it needed to bring some life back into it. The huge news about the Air Force Contract AFPW received is one of the main reasons for the huge run. When a penny stock gets news like AFPW Alumifuel did it proves that they are the real deal and therefore when investors have confidence in the company and the product we have an explosion in the stock price like we saw!

AlumiFuel Power, Inc. Announces Significant Marketing Progress
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"), today provided an update on its strategic marketing thrusts based on recently announced technology advancements and collaboration discussions with potential new path-to-market partners. These initiatives involve four important market segments: Portable Balloon Inflation Systems; portable power; H24U mini hydrogen generator; and Unmanned Undersea Vehicles.
Portable Balloon Inflation Systems (PBIS) -- $200 million market
The recent announcement of the US Air Force Special Operations Command contract for the new PBIS-2000 to fill and launch 200g weather balloons has triggered new expressions of interest in purchasing API's unique PBIS products by other NATO military customers as well as meteorological customers. The PBIS-2000 technology, including ambient pressures, low temperatures, and simplified designs, will be incorporated into all future PBIS products, including the PBIS-1000 for 100g balloons. The cost of the traditional lift gas, helium, is up 15% just in the past year and supply is increasingly tight -- causing more weather balloon users to switch to hydrogen. Global meteorological users include: (1) Agencies such as NOAA and WMO that launch weather balloons in remote areas of the world to collect and disseminate vital weather and climatologic information; (2) Air Traffic Control agencies in developing nations that do not have a consistent and reliable source of hydrogen for lift gas; and (3) Disaster relief agencies in areas that have a hydrogen distribution network which has been cut off because of a natural disaster. This was the case in the Japanese nuclear disaster earlier this year.
Portable Power -- $3 billion market
Recently announced technology developments in 100W portable power applications, in which API's AlumiFuel hydrogen generator-cartridges are used to power a fuel cell, have triggered a flurry of activities involving potential fuel cell partners. API is in the process of qualifying several candidates interested in exploring strategic collaboration arrangements. Moreover, API's new automated generator-cartridge unit is also ready to be used as a standalone system to fill metal hydride cylinders already in the field in many military and commercial applications.
H24U -- $3 million market
Based on market surveys and discussions with many academicians and science apparatus distributors, API is convinced that this is a unfilled market waiting to be developed. API's mini-hydrogen generator, H24U, is an ideal product for high school and college science labs to demonstrate the generation and use of hydrogen. API's collaboration with a local high school science department is proceeding as planned, with the development of lesson plans and experiments based on the H24U unit. At the same time, API is now qualifying potential distribution partners to roll out the H24U and lesson plan package in a nationwide marketing and sales effort.
Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) -- $1.2 billion market for UUV fuel
API's unique technology combines hydrogen generation along with heat generation, with both sources providing unmatched energy density feeding fuel cells and turbines to power UUVs. Together with its UUV power plant partner, Ingenium Technologies, API is continuing to pursue US Navy program opportunities. API and Ingenium will be presenting the current state of development of their Integrated Hybrid Fuel Cell Power System for UUV applications this November at the Fuel Cell Seminar and Exposition in Orlando Florida. This is the premier annual fuel cell conference in the US.
API's President & CEO, Mr. David Cade, said, "Essentially API is in the process of introducing exciting new technologies and products into these target markets. This requires considerable education on the benefits of using hydrogen as a potent new alternative energy power source to replace existing technologies and products. We believe we have made significant progress in this regard, and are beginning to see real results in our quest to penetrate these large markets."

2. Balloon Radio A common problem on the front lines — be it in war, a disaster or any other emergency — is a lack of communication. In the years since walkie-talkies made their debut, technology has evolved, making it easier for soldiers and first responders to communicate. But most communications improvements have hinged on fixed, physical infrastructure to transmit voice and data over distance. In remote areas, this usually requires personnel to erect radio repeater towers atop geographical high points to facilitate communication over a wide area. In a battle, such personnel are vulnerable to the enemy. In a forest fire, crews risk getting caught behind fire lines. What if that troublesome tower could be replaced with a balloon?
You’d have what Chandler, Ariz.-based Space Data calls a balloon-borne repeater platform — a floating communications hub that can be deployed in minutes by personnel miles from danger. The company offers what are essentially weather balloons loaded with radio repeater gear. The StarFighter model, already used by troops in Afghanistan, facilitates two-way radio communication up to 500 miles while floating at 80,000 feet, safely away from enemy fire. The StarFighter soon may be used by emergency responders. “It’s a platform that you really can put any type of communication on,” said Gerald Knoblach, CEO of Space Data. “It takes 15 to 20 minutes to prepare it for launch, and the platform rises at about 1,000 feet per minute, so it gets to 90,000 feet in an hour and a half, and then it levels off there and starts relaying voice and data traffic across this big footprint.” Knoblach said the balloons suspend for about 12 hours and operate at one-tenth the cost of communications aircraft. The range, responsiveness and interoperability of the balloons might make them ideal for emergency responders who suddenly find gaps in their communication networks after a disaster. “This is tailored for wide communications and really complex terrain,” Knoblach said. “We all see how fast phones are becoming smaller and more capable; we can take all that kind of consumer technology and put it inside this, and every year get more capacity.”
