TAMPA, Fla., April 5, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Internal Hydro International Inc. (OTCBB:IHDR) (www.InternalHydro.com) announces that it has entered into an agreement for representation and expansion of the market for the Energy Commander low impact hydro system for Canada. IHDR, through its new Canadian representation has already received large industrial interest from Canadian manufacturing concerns, Canadian governmental entities, and natural resource locations. The potential placements during the first year is predicted by the Canadian representation to reach or exceed 400 units of the Energy Commander 30 Kw systems, which could generate revenue potentials of $6,000,000 (USD) annually from that initial number of units.
IHDR will be represented in Canada by Len Kohl, of Ontario, Canada, who will be the Chief Operating Officer for Canada, with IHDR. A successful marketing, real estate, and 20 year military veteran, Mr. Kohl will work directly with Canadian industries for application and contracting for the Energy Commander units. Mr. Kohl joins IHDR's team for Canada with preliminary contacts in industrial uses setting the initial stage for market entry of the units to Canada. Already, within three weeks of commencement of his representation Mr. Kohl, with his significant marketing and sales experience, has achieved interest from five large industrial and commercial entities for placement of the Energy Commander systems in Canada, the U.S. and the Caribbean.
In Ontario alone, there are 2,200 natural sites pre-identified for low impact hydro, which could have the potential of producing 9,000 to 12,000 megawatts of power. In British Columbia, an additional 900 small hydro sites have also been identified. Even a 25% placement on those potential sites, using natural flows alone, would achieve large revenue ability in just one Province. Expansion into the industrial setting of wood pulp, lumber mills, cement plants, and other areas with the Energy Commander, which is expected to qualify for energy and tax credits under Kyoto protocols in Canada, will expand the market further.
IHDR's clean energy power system, the Energy Commander System is a 30 Kw designed system, to be fielded in the second quarter of 2006. Each unit runs on natural or industrial flows that are too small for traditional hydro systems. The EC 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. The system takes in the wasted pressure flow, where it goes through the heart of the patented system, into positive displacement cylinders that creates massive mechanical forces, all of which is transferred to a generator creating both electricity, and optional air pressure, both being for direct use or storage, and always available. The water or gas then moves out of the unit, to its original destination, without added waste. The system is noiseless, emission free and totally environmentally friendly. No fish mortality or oxygenation problems exist with the system.
