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.

the investment community and all interested parties about the progress of the
OX2 engine, Advanced Engine Technologies has established a hotline at
