27th Century Brings Magic With its Thermal Diode Coating

6 September 2000

27th Century Technologies, Inc. Brings Magic With its Thermal Diode Coating Available to Private Industry
    ROSWELL, Ga., Sept. 6 27th Century Technologies, Inc.
announced today that it will begin licensing its extraordinary MAXERGY(TM)
Thermal Diode Coating to private industry for a wide range of applications.
This innovative new product promises to revolutionize virtually all
industrial, mechanical, and climate-control processes that require extremely
high levels of heat resistance, insulation, and control.
    MAXERGY Thermal Diode Coating, when applied to any specially prepared
substrate, will form a passive, solid-state junction that creates a one-way
super-conducting path for thermal energy, said Neil J. Chernoff, president of
27th Century Technologies, Inc.  By retarding heat transfer in the opposite
direction, this junction effectively serves as a super insulator.
    MAXERGY Thermal Diode Coating can be successfully applied to steel,
aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, most alloys, fiberglass, ridged plastics,
glass, concrete, and other surfaces, Chernoff said.
    In automobiles, for example, MAXERGY Thermal Diode Coating can improve
passenger comfort through more efficient heating and cooling systems while
extending the life of mechanical parts that deteriorate due to exposure to
extremely high temperatures.  In construction and building management
applications, the coating will result in lower heating and air conditioning
costs, eliminate delays in delivery of hot water to lavatory, faucets, and
reduce fire insurance premiums by providing economical, and fireproof
electrical wire insulation.  Food production and storage industries will
benefit from lower cost, higher-efficiency refrigeration systems made possible
by the coating.
    In addition, MAXERGY Thermal Diode Coating will enable electronics
manufacturers to eliminate heat-related restrictions on microprocessor and
memory speeds, which will exponentially increase the efficiency and
reliability of computers and other electronic devices.  The coating will also
enable most other manufacturing and processing industries to dramatically
improve the energy efficiency of a wide range of production processes.
    Some of the first companies to utilize the MAXERGY Thermal Diode Coating
are several NASCAR teams, including A. J. Foyt and Jeff Gordon, a large carpet
manufacturer, and an egg processing plant.
