Power Air Corporation today makes the following announcement: “Power Air intends to develop the World’s first cost-effective, re-fuelable back-up generator that can operate indoors, safely, silently, efficiently, and emissions-free, with extended run capability” says Don Ceci, VP Sales & Marketing for Power Air. “Replacing traditional outdoor generator sales represents a significant revenue opportunity, and our “Greenfield” opportunity for indoor generators is estimated at several hundred million potential indoor sites worldwide.” Power outages are becoming more and more frequent and widespread. Apartment and home occupants are regularly inconvenienced and in fact put into dangerous situations due to power outages caused by storms and technical failures. Residents and businesses are forced to cope with no lights, no heat, no information, spoiled food, and no working appliances or equipment for hours, days or even weeks at a time. Back-up generators are the current solution, but these generators cannot be used indoors, because they are noisy, dangerous, polluting, heavy and messy. No extended run back-up solution is offered for apartments and small businesses unless the whole building is backed up with a large diesel or natural gas generator. First to Market Application – Indoor and Outdoor Generators: The Company will initially focus resources on developing Generator products, for indoor and outdoor siting, offering its exclusive technology to OEM partners serving those markets. “Products powered by our Zinc Air Fuel Cell can be the first clean air alternative to be cost competitive with existing fossil fuel powered generators,“ adds Steve Williams, Power Air’s President. “The lifetime and durability demands for these First to Market applications are more achievable in the short term than those of transportation and co-generation which require much longer life time and established fuel infrastructures.” The first Power Air ZAFC-based product will be provided to OEM partners for integration into a Portable Emergency Generator (“PEG”) designed for back-up, emergency, or stand-alone use. Power Air intends to address the “sweet spot” (over 70%) of the traditional generator market – with units ranging from 600 Watts to 6.6 kW. These units can also meet the back-up power needs of a large portion of the initial demand for indoor generators. Power Air Announces Director of Engineering LIVERMORE, Calif., Jan. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Power Air Corporation announced today the appointment of Andrew Turnbull as Director of Engineering. The Company has assembled a senior management team of industry veterans to undertake the commercialization of technology licensed from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories ("LLNL"), and Mr. Turnbull joins this team to lead the OEM Product Development Program. "Power Air intends to take our patented fuel cell technology out of the Lab and develop products competitive with generators and batteries," states Power Air CEO, Steve Williams. "The addition of Andrew Turnbull is an important step in our commercialization efforts." Andrew Turnbull joins Power Air from Xantrex Power, a public power electronics company listed on Toronto, where he was Program Manager responsible for leading multi-functional teams from product development to product launch. Previous to Xantrex, Mr. Turnbull worked for seven years at Ballard Power Systems as Program Manager for Power Generation products. Mr. Turnbull headed a team that developed fuel cell products, including back-up power products, targeting the power generation industry. He has 18 years of engineering and product development experience in various industries including power electronics, fuel cell, oil and gas, and power generation. Mr. Turnbull holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering from Queen's University. "I see tremendous possibilities for products based on Power Air's zinc air fuel cell technologies that could reach broad markets and finally deliver on the promise of fuel cells," said Mr. Turnbull. Adds Power Air Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Don Ceci, formerly of Ballard Power Systems, "Mr. Turnbull has the fuel cell industry experience required to develop and implement our Program Plan. He has led cross- functional teams integrating R&D, engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, customer engineering, and service. Andrew is a critical addition to our commercialization team." On September 30, 2005, Power Air, through its acquisition of Power Air Tech, Inc., acquired exclusive fuel cell technology from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories (“LLNL”) that will allow it to generate safe, quiet, reliable, zero emission energy for portable, stationary and transportation applications. Since that time the Company has assembled a senior management team of industry veterans to undertake the commercialization of the LLNL technology. “Power Air intends to be the first profitable player in the sector”, states Power Air CEO, Steve Williams. “Our technology will provide reliable power in a time of increased security risks, extreme weather conditions, and aging energy infrastructure.” Unlike hydrogen fuel cells and internal combustion engines, Power Air’s technology is fueled with zinc, which is safe (non-flammable and non-explosive), inexpensive and easy to transport and store. Exclusive licenses to related LLNL patents for all fields of use give Power Air several advantages over other companies trying to commercialize similar technology. Adds Power Air Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Don Ceci, formerly of Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP), “Power Air’s unique technology and potentially low manufacturing cost will allow us to compete with the incumbent generator and battery products, not simply with other fuel cell companies”.

POWER AIR CORPORATION (FORMERLY FORTUNE PARTNERS, INC.) ANNOUNCES NEW NAME AND SYMBOL
Livermore, CA - January 18, 2006 – Power Air Corporation, OTCBB: PWAC, formerly Fortune Partners Inc, OTCCBB: FTPI, announced today its new name, chosen to emphasize its entry into the Alternative Energy sector. The Company’s change in name was effected with the Nevada Secretary of State on December 22, 2005 with the change in the Company’s trading symbol.
Diese konnten aber nicht innerhalb eines Hauses betrieben werden, sie mussten draußen arbeiten. Und je nach Wetterlage und Region war dies ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit. Damit gab es dann oft keine Alternative, es gab einfach keine Energie für die Menschen. Der Bürgermei ster von New York, Michael Bloomberg, malte gar ein düsteres Szenario an die Wand. Die Bürger sollten sich auf häufige Stromausfälle einstellen. Man müsse sich für diesen Fall eben mit Elektrogeneratoren für zu Hause ausstatten.
Genau hier springt nun ein amerikanisches Unternehmen in die Bresche, das selbst in Übersee noch wenig bekannt ist: Power Air (PWAC.OB, WKN: A0JKEY Ticker: P6A). Die Firma mit Sitz in Kalifornien arbeitet an einer besonderen Brennstoffzelle, der Zink-Luft-Brennstoffzelle. An dieser neuartigen Energieform forscht man bereit seit Mitte der 90iger Jahre. Unterstützung gab es dabei unter anderem von amerikanischer Regierungsseite. Rund 8 Millionen Dollar sind bisher in die Forschung investiert worden. Das Geld kann sich so langsam rentieren. Denn Power Air besitzt jetzt eine patentierte Brennstofftechnologie, die, wenn man es ganz simpel ausdrückt, aus Zink und Luft Energie macht. Und das zu einem sehr interessanten Preis. Eine Kilo wattstunde Energie, die von einer Brennstoffzelle produziert wird, die auf Wasserstoffbasis arbeitet, schlägt mit 4.500 Dollar zu Buche.

eingebunden. Konkret geht es dabei um die Bereiche Design, Bau und Test von Alpha- und Beta-Prototypen und den kommerziellen Start des Projektes. Außerdem können die neuen Zellen in einem zweiten Schritt in den Läden von Schrader verkauft werden. Und hierzu gibt es ein sehr interessantes Rechenspie l: Schrader verkauft Produkte in rund 3.500 Läden in den USA. Power Air rechnet damit, von jeder Brennstoffzelle einen Profit von 300 Dollar zu machen. Rechnet man nun mit drei Verkäufen pro Geschäft im Monat, dann ergibt sich daraus für Power Air ein jährlicher Umsatz von 37,8 Millionen Dollar.
