PORTLAND, Ore., May 24, 2006 -- Axial Vector(TM) Engine Corporation has posted on its website a new PowerPoint presentation detailing the Program Status of its new 200 kW Axial Vector(TM) E-Flux GENSET. This presentation is viewable at www.axialvectorengine.com.

Powered by a revolutionarily efficient, fuel saving high torque engine design, AVEC's patent pending 352 HP engine with 1,126 foot-pounds of torque turning over at a top load rate of 1100 RPM is only 37 inches long by 17.4 inches wide and deep. At each end of the engine drive shaft, there is a 100 kW generator, which is amongst the world's few "iron coreless" generator designs. The GENSET is integrated with a unique FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) that intelligently harnesses and commands all systems thus allowing to economically and continuously produce 200 kW output with a peak load of 240 kW at amongst the lowest known fuel consumption per kWh.

Designed and component tested by some of the world's best engineers and most sophisticated software programs, including UGS, our GENSET has been engineered for 40,000 hours of continuous operation before overhaul. This represents a potentially significant performance and longevity improvement over most, if not all, Internal Combustion Engine powered and commercially available GENSETs. Testing to determine the "mean time to failure" and major "overhauls" will commence in June 2006.

Dr. Raymond Brouzes, President and CEO, Axial Vector Engine Corporation stated, "We are delighted to soon present test results from our first finished commercial product and wish to thank the many engineers and support staff who have made the vision a reality. Beginning mid-June, we will be extending invitations to prospective licensees, customers and distributors to visit our beta sites and place orders for what we expect to demonstrate as the world's most cost-effective, multi-fuel, on-demand portable or stationary GENSET".

About Axial Vector(TM) Engine Corporation

Axial Vector(TM) Engine Corporation is a publicly traded company that owns, develops and licenses proprietary intellectual property regarding unique internal combustion engine technologies. We are applying these technologies to develop an exciting, new, smaller and lighter internal combustion engine that produces significantly greater horsepower and three times more torque on less fuel than conventional engines of similar size. The internal combustion engine as we know it today may never comply with mandated pollution standards and meet the strong demand for cleaner and far greater fuel-efficiency engines. We see the Axial Vector(TM) as the engine design that will comfortably meet these challenges, and more.

Key entry markets for the Axial Vector(TM) engine include a number of specific military and industrial applications. Additionally, we are developing a family of electric power generators incorporating our unique Axial Vector(TM) technology. The generators will consume less fuel per unit of electrical power output and are considerably smaller than any known internal combustion engine generators. www.axialvectorengine.com
