NPWS, , ) , a leading developer of fuel cells for military application and portable electronic devices, announced today that it has published a White Paper titled "Neah Power Extending Life to Portable Electronic Devices - Silicon-Based Direct Methanol Fuel Cells Bridge the Power Gap." The paper addressed such issues as energy demands for portable electronics, fuel cell fundamentals and requirements, operating issues and performance, and provides details about the Neah Power fuel cell architecture.
"This white paper gives customers, investors and the broader market, a detailed overview of the two leading approaches to direct methanol fuel cell design. In doing so, the white paper offers a comparison between our unique silicon based design and other PEM-based systems currently available," said Dr. Chris D'Couto, President and CEO of Neah Power. "When I meet with the business, scientific and financial communities and other audiences, there is tremendous interest in our unique technology, and we are publishing this white paper to better communicate with this broader base." He further added, "Our silicon-electrode based fuel cell enables higher power densities, air and non-air operation, low cost manufacturing using silicon foundries outsourced assembly and test. The white paper provides details in all these areas."

About Neah Power
Neah Power Systems, Inc. (NPWS) is developing long-lasting, efficient and safe power solutions for portable electronic devices, including notebook PCs, military radios and other power-hungry products. Neah Power uses a unique, patented, silicon-based design for its micro fuel cells that enable higher power densities, lighter-weight, smaller form-factors, air and non-air operation, and a lower cost architecture. NPWS fuel cells use methanol, a biomass generated, renewable fuel, as its fuel source.
The company's working micro fuel cell prototype, which was demonstrated on September 28, 2007, runs as a closed-loop system without requiring air as an oxidant. Neah Power will leverage this characteristic unique to its porous silicon technology to pursue these anaerobic applications, thus addressing a market whose needs are currently not being met, while pursuing the broader air breathing fuel cell markets as well.
