Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:13 AM on Tuesday, August 12th, 2014

Neah Power Systems, Inc.’s BuzzBar(R) Second Generation Is Already Exceeding Expectations, Widespread Commercial Launch Imminent

BOTHELL, WA, Aug 12, 2014 — Neah Power Systems, Inc. (‘Neah’) (OTCBB: NPWZ), an innovator and supplier of cutting-edge power solutions for the military, transportation and portable electronics industries, reported that it has filed two patent applications to cover the BuzzBar Suite and the BuzzCell. Additionally, initial units were received by Neah Power Systems and used for FCC testing. Neah Power Systems is pleased to report that the products are now FCC compatible, which is critical to widespread adoption.

“We are thrilled to be releasing the next generation of the BuzzBar Suite,” said Dr. Chris D’Couto, CEO of Neah Power Systems. “We believe the new features and functions are superior and very differentiated from any other product on the market. Our Intellectual Property (IP) is a key asset of the company, and we are pleased to report that we filed patent applications to cover these technologies. We are getting significant interest from large retailers for this differentiated product. Neah has received our first units from injection molded manufacturing, which passed FCC testing. As part of our quality control, we identified certain cosmetic issues which we are addressing with our suppliers. We expect to now start shipping by the week of August 25th.”

The BuzzBar Suite, which can be a life-saving product, allows for charging from a variety of sources — grid power (traditional outlet), the BuzzBat (using AA and AAA batteries), the BuzzSol (solar panel), or the BuzzCell (available in Q42014).

Neah Power Systems Inc. Shareholder Letter

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:04 PM on Friday, August 1st, 2014

BOTHELL, WA, Aug 01, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — Neah Power Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NPWZ)

To our shareholders:

As we work to grow and expand, the excitement at Neah Power grows with it. We are continuing to seize new opportunities as they arise. I recently provided an interview which has been posted on the Agoracom discussion forum responding to various questions from interested parties. Please visit the discussion forum to read the full interview and gain a complete understanding of my responses.

I would like to draw your attention to some very exciting announcements below regarding The BuzzBar Suite, the Clean Tech Investors Acquisition, MOU with Aerial Drone Company, and the DRDO evaluation.

The BuzzBar Suite

We’re very excited that BuzzBar Gen2 units are on the way! We are launching some new campaigns that are focused on the new BuzzBar! The first fully functional units, in a variety of colors, are arriving. The BuzzBar Suite packaging is currently being produced in tandem with the final units. We estimate that the building of the units will be completed by the first week of August. Meanwhile, we are working on packaging, new marketing materials, and some exciting new campaigns and partnerships.

The specifications on these units far exceed what was originally planned. For example, the solar panel was originally sized at half a Watt (0.5W) while the actual units are 2W! A customer can also fan out the system and add multiple panels, which was not available previously. Our redesigned product only website will go live once the first units are shipped and will coincide with a social media campaign around it and an announcement of important partnerships, new product launches, etc.

Clean Tech Investors Acquisition

We have been working with a university in Vancouver, British Columbia to continue development and testing of these technologies, and have made tremendous progress. These assets effectively include two product families — the direct formic fuel cell (BuzzCell) and the reformer based technology (Formira(TM)). We are in early stage discussions regarding licensing the Formira technology with a fuel cell company, and an automotive company is reviewing our capabilities. These exciting, longer term opportunities require us to travel frequently to Vancouver to ensure continued progress.

MOU with Aerial Drone Company

We have signed the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with an Aerial Drone Company, and both parties are very enthusiastic about the prospects ahead. I visited them last week, and we discussed certain design efforts to incorporate the fuel cell into the drone. We will share more details related to schedule, etc. as they firm up.

PowerChip(R) shipment to DRDO

The PowerChip(R) shipments to DRDO were previously reported, and the parts and the fuel / oxidant that we shipped are expected to arrive in India at the lab of interest in the September timeframe. To ensure overall success, we decided to ship the fuel and oxidant from the US, rather than unknown India-based suppliers. This required the fuel/oxidant mixtures to be transported via ship, with the fuel cells shipping by air. We are excited about this, and the upcoming onsite validation, which will most likely be in the October 2014 time frame.

Thank you for your continued support. I am extremely pleased to see how well Neah Power has done over the years and am excited to see what is happening to enable our growth in the near future. We wholeheartedly believe that our success, in part, has been due to our supportive shareholders, our Board of Directors and our Strategic Advisory Board. We have a number of opportunities on the horizon and hope that you stay tuned to see what we make of them. Our team is hard at work doing a phenomenal job for you, our shareholders, and our customers.

Best Regards, Chris D’Couto President & CEO Neah Power Systems

NEAH Power Discusses Fuel Cells in Cars on Autos 0-60 Radio Show

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:33 PM on Friday, July 25th, 2014

NPWZ: OTCQB

Fuel cell technology was first used in space crafts in the 1960s and 70s. Today, Hyundai introduced the first fuel cell powered vehicle. Alternative Energy gets enormous attention and funding but many Solar/Micro-Grid solutions have weather-related drawbacks while fuel cell technology use oxygen and hydrogen as fuel to create electricity.

Will Fuel Cell Powered cars become a reality? How does it work? Are they safe? Consumers are curious and hoping to hear from experts other than just the car-makers.

One of the main issues to-date with the adoption of fuel cells for cars is compressed hydrogen has had associated safety issues when used in automobiles. How is one company providing a solution to this barrier?

Neah Power’s patent-pending technology enables the use of a liquid, safe fuel (formic acid) for automotive applications without the associated costs of a dedicated hydrogen generation plant or the safety and handling issues associated with the use of compressed hydrogen. In addition, formic acid could leverage the existing gasoline distribution infrastructure for enabling zero emission transportation.

Neah Power Systems Presents Patent Pending Technology for Automotive and Grid Scale Fuel Cells

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:50 AM on Thursday, May 29th, 2014

BOTHELL, Wash., May 29, 2014 — Neah Power Systems, Inc., (OTCBB:NPWZ), a provider of proprietary power solutions, announced the publication of a white paper on the website (www.neahpower.com) discussing patent pending technology that allows a safe and high energy density, point of use hydrogen generation technology, that is suited for automotive fuel cells and grid scale fuel cells.

Neah Power CEO, Chris D’Couto, continued, “This compelling technology allows the use of a safe and easily handled liquid fuel, formic acid, to generate hydrogen on demand for automotive and grid scale applications. This could potentially eliminate various safety, handling, cost, and distribution issues currently seen with compressed hydrogen for automotive applications. For grid scale applications, this technology could eliminate the need for onsite hydrogen generation plants that are commonly co-installed with grid scale fuel cells.”

Neah Power Begins Taking Pre-Orders for BuzzBar(TM) Product Suite Including: BuzzCell(TM), BuzzSol(TM) and BuzzBat(TM) Products

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:06 AM on Thursday, April 17th, 2014

BOTHELL, Wash., April 17, 2014 — Neah Power Systems, Inc., (OTCBB:NPWZ), a provider of proprietary, award-winning, patented power solutions announced that consumers can now pre-order the BuzzBar Suite of products including: the liquid-fueled BuzzCell, the sun-powered BuzzSol, and AA battery-powered BuzzBat at www.neahpower.com.

“We are very excited to bring this suite of products to market,” said Neah Power CEO, Chris D’Couto. “Our recent asset acquisition, ongoing improvements and consumer feedback has enabled these revolutionary product offerings.”

Unlike anything else that is on the market today, the BuzzBar charging suite, allows consumers to keep mobile devices like smart phones and tablets charged using a variety of power sources, and are never confined to a single source. Consumers can choose from the Neah-exclusive liquid fuel cells (BuzzCell), solar (BuzzSol), or easily available AA (BuzzBat) batteries.

The largest cell phone markets in the world are in Africa and India, where significant number of business and monetary transactions are done using cell phones. Unfortunately, they also have the most unstable power grids. Neah’s off-the-grid recharging solutions would play a critical role in these markets, and be welcomed assets for traveling professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, and people trapped in disaster areas.

Mr. D’Couto continued, “The pre-ordering process will allow Neah to reach certain minimum pre-orders to leverage the most cost effective production supply chain. With that intent, all BuzzBar Gen One orders will be upgraded to BuzzBar Gen Two without additional costs.”

Neah Power expects to be shipping the full suite of products as early as June 30, 2014. The BuzzCell is expected to have staggered shipments to ensure customer feedback, design iterations, and manufacturing scale up.
