Advanced Engine Technologies Inc. to Develop 30 Kilowatt Integrated
Generator Unit LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Advanced Engine Technologies Inc. (OTC:AENG) (BULLETIN BOARD: AENG)
announced today a new development partnership with Danotek Motion
Technologies to co-develop a new revolutionary 30 kilowatt
integrated generator unit. The agreement calls for the production
of three prototype generator components that will produce 30kw of
power in a significantly scaled down and proportional version that
can be affixed to AET's revolutionary OX2 engine. This will result
in a stand-alone fully integrated generator that is approximately
one-third the physical size and approximately one-tenth the weight
of comparable generators in the marketplace. The prototype's
versatility will allow for horizontal or vertical mounting and
operations, resulting in diverse applications and uses. Upon the
completion of the first three prototypes, one generator will be
converted to LPG fuel for further testing. "This is another step
towards developing a powerful and effective alternative source of
energy by utilizing AET's revolutionary OX2 engine," said John
Luft, AET's Chief Operating Officer. "In light of the world's
current energy struggles, this new OX2 Integrated Generator is
expected to provide an exciting alternative to this very
troublesome issue." "The Danotek team recognizes the key benefits
of the revolutionary OX2 engine that features high "low speed
torque," high power density, better thermal characteristics and is
committed to the challenge of developing an integrated generator
for mobile and standalone systems," said Dan Gizaw, Danotek's
President. "We also recognize the future of the OX2 as a prime
mover that can be adapted to applications that require small size
and weight, as well as low-emissions". The anticipated completion
of AET's first OX2 Integrated Generator beta version is expected in
the second quarter of 2005. Final testing, certification and market
evaluations will follow. 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 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 be directed to the company at
(310) 914-9599. To update the investment community and all
interested parties about the progress of the OX2 engine, Advanced
Engine Technologies has established a hotline at 310/323-2895.
