| Neah Power System and Hobie Cat Explore Fuel Cells to Propel Boats Using Green Power Methanol | |
| NEAH Power Systems, Inc., (OTCBB: NPWS), the Company developing fuel cells for the military and portable electronic devices, announced today it has signed a technology license agreement with Hobie Cat Company, manufacturer of world-class sail and fishing boats, to jointly explore utilizing the Company`s patented, silicon-based fuel cells to power Hobie Cats` various boat products. NEAH`s fuel cells use renewable methanol, a cost efficient, sustainable and "green" mode of energy. Dr. Chris D`Couto, NEAH`s President and Chief Executive Officer, noted that NEAH fuel cells unique anaerobic operation, which minimizes or eliminates air quality impact, applies directly to Hobie`s water environment. "Our micro fuel cells may eventually replace batteries for most uses," D`Couto said, "meaning that cost-efficient and "green" technology is at hand to not only preserve the environment, but to provide nearly perpetual power to the military, manufacturers of almost any product that require an energy source, and to the millions of consumers who require energy on the go." |
