ALUMIFUEL POWER, INC. FEATURED IN LEHRER PBS NEWSHOUR NATIONWIDE TELECAST
CENTENNIAL, Colorado, December 9, 2009. (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 was featured in a segment on how Philadelphia is coping with the current recession, which was aired nationally on the Lehrer PBS NewsHour the evening of December 7, 2009. (For the video feed and transcript, use the link: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/business/july-dec09/patchwork_12-07.html.)
Philadelphia was the first stop in the Patchwork Nation project, jointly sponsored by PBS NewsHour and the Christian Science Monitor, looking at 24 diversified cities, towns and counties across the U.S. The Philadelphia piece, characterized as examining economic recovery in an industrial metropolis, included the University City Science Center, where API has its laboratory and offices.
On air, API’s President & CEO, Mr. David Cade, showed components of the PBIS-1000 portable hydrogen generator, and explained that two 32 oz. cartridges filled with API’s proprietary AlumiFuel powder mix, can generate 1,000 liters of hydrogen to launch a five-foot weather balloon in about twenty minutes. API engineers Andrew Kim and Boris Dyatkin were shown in the lab filling the AlumiFuel cartridges and performing lab testing. The announcer attributed to Cade the statement that: “a high concentration of top universities has allowed him to draw on technical expertise and the institutional support he needs to grow here.”
Mr. Cade said, “The visibility accorded to API and our unique technology in the PBS NewsHour telecast was extremely gratifying. This program is televised on more than 300 PBS stations throughout the United States, reaching roughly 3 million viewers each night. With the ability to view the report online both here and abroad, this report provided our Company with exposure we could only dream of using our normal press release channels.”
