Advanced Engine Technologies Inc. Unveils Design Level 3 OX2 Engine
at Its Annual Shareholder Meeting LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Engine Technologies Inc.
(OTC:AENG) (BULLETIN BOARD: AENG) unveiled it's new OX2 Design
Level 3 engine at its Annual Shareholder Meeting in November. The
first beta test of this new design level engine is expected in the
3rd quarter of 2005 along with the testing of the new OX2 30
kilowatt integrated generator unit in co/development with Danotek
Motion Technologies. "Our engineering team have taken the OX2
engine to the next level of commercialization," said John Luft,
AET's Chief Operating Officer. "This design level is expected to
give the OX2 the necessary endurance and performance improvements
to successfully compete in the commercial markets." This newly
developed and patented generator design is expected to add only 12"
in overall length to the existing OX2 engine and is approximately
25% the total weight of current units in the market. The
prototype's versatility allows for horizontal or vertical mounting
and operations, resulting in diverse applications and uses. The
integrated generator is expected to compete in the alternative
power generator market as well as run on alternative fuels. A beta
version of AET's first OX2 Integrated Generator is expected in the
summer of 2005. Final testing, certification and market evaluations
will follow. In addition, shareholders viewed a demonstration of
one of AET's Design Level 2 OX2 engines successfully powering a
Lincoln Electric welding/generator unit. Engineers continue their
work on the electronics and control integration in order to improve
optimum performance and reliability. The OX2 is a 4-stroke,
1.1-liter internal combustion engine that is 17 inches in diameter
with a length of 13 inches and a total weight of 179 pounds in
normally aspirated form. The compact engine weighs 75 percent less
than and is half the size of traditional internal combustion
engines. In addition, it offers the flexibility of being able to
run on a variety of fossil fuels including gasoline, diesel,
natural gas, liquid propane or methane. In addition, with far fewer
moving parts than traditional engine designs, the OX2 engine could
offer the further advantages of significantly enhanced operation
and maintenance costs and a longer useful life. With its expected
higher power-to-weight ratio, multi-fuel capacity and anticipated
low emissions and high fuel efficiency, the OX2 has a practical and
much needed application in the commercial and industrial generator
markets. Additional future applications may include marine,
light-duty farm and construction equipment, light aircraft, and the
hybrid electric vehicle market. However, the near term focus
remains electrical generator applications. Investor inquiries can
