Internal Hydro Low Impact Hydro Unit Tests Above Expectations; Unit Set for Production Sequence


TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 28, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Internal Hydro International, Inc., (OTCBB:IHDR) (www.internalhydro.com) announced today the Company's Energy Commander V low impact hydro achieved the projected unit abilities from lower than predicted flow rates in engineering testing. The unit completed engineering testing by LA Engineering of Theodore, Alabama for power, torque, and performance specifications. The unit was tested with the unit performing above the calculated power prediction under lower than specified water flows. The unit, as built, will support over the 30 kilowatts of energy production using the 4 slice design with excess energy available. The unit achieved a constant 100 RPM plus before load and sustained torque of over 450 foot pounds of torque, which is the equivalent of the maximum power generated by a Ford V-10 motor in a Triton pick-up truck. Importantly, the Company will now examine the power ratio for mechanical forces to be used in industries for mechanical work beyond electricity. The unit data alone will now be submitted for university validation, without delay of the unit in Italy with the Company's partner Cm2 for initial production.

The EC V unit has been performing on a three inch line at 50 to 55 p.s.i., and was tested at below optimum range of 65 p.s.i. and above. The single 12 cylinder slice unit produced a constant ability to achieve over 6.5 kilowatts per slice at the lower p.s.i., and the ability to achieve above projections when at 65 p.s.i. to produce 7.7 kilowatts per slice or 30.8 kilowatts per four slice unit. The Company projects more efficiency with unit build out under Cm2. With the completion of this engineering certification, IHDR will be able to deliver the low impact hydro unit to Cm2, IHDR's European partner, for initial manufacturing in Italy for delivery of the first units.

Unlike traditional hydro, the Energy Commander utilizes low flows through cylinders instead of traditional turbines. The unit is ecologically sound, without the usual problems of oxidation and large intakes associated with turbines. As built and displayed the unit has outperformed initial expectations for the production of both electrical and mechanical power for other uses.

About Internal Hydro:

Internal Hydro International, Inc. is an alternative energy company that developed a clean energy power system, the Energy Commander Systems, that utilizes a patented technology, using waste water, fluid or gas flow from any source where flow pressure is present, and yet wasted, to create electricity. Internal Hydro has licensed a tire remediation to fuel and ethanol waste (DDG) to biofuels technology for use on ethanol plants domestically. IHDR is international in scope, with European production and marketing for its core technologies, and is preparing to enter the market with its core Energy Commander systems. Internal Hydro is well positioned to gain major market share and dominate the niche of hydro and renewable energy in the fragmented alternative energy marketplace.
