PRESS RELEASE

U. S. Department of Energy officials in Washington D.C. meets with HP2g and Henry County Commissioner.

Napoleon, OH:  March 15, 2010 ---- Douglas Pelmear, President of HP2g.com  

and Henry County Commissioner Richard Myers, met with officials of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, March 10^th.

Discussions were held by HP2g staff and DOE officials to better understand Mr. Pelmear’s 110 MPG engine and about securing funding for manufacturing operations. During this meeting, Pelmear explained the new technologies of the HP2g engine along with its performance ratings and statistics. He explained why America needs this technology now more than ever as gas prices continue to rise and more people are desperate for work. “I’m just an inventor who just wants to see my products out on the road, but I can’t do it alone. This is a team effort. HP2g will help preserve our environment by reducing emissions by more than 66%. Manufacturing HP2g will create jobs not only in Ohio, but across the United States. The revenue stemming from these jobs and sales of our engine will positively benefit the Local, State and Federal economy. Together we will put America back on top.”  

This meeting was set up by Ohio Congressman Bob Latta’s office.

HP2g is the world’s first hybrid engine. Fueled by E85. HP2g features variable displacement and electromagnetic pulse power within the same engine. The engine achieves a fuel economy of 110MPG and tests show results are better than the new 2016 EPA standard.

What makes the HP2g get such incredible gas mileage without a significant loss of power?

For lack of a better description: marriage and frugality.
HP2g technological achievement has been the marriage of an electric motor into his E85-powered V-8 internal combustion engine, and controls that allow the combined powerplant’s output to range from more than 400 horsepower to as little as 15 horsepower, depending on what is required at the time by the accelerator.

This phenomenal range of energy output is accomplished by the HP2g  E-85 fueled engine can transition from running on all eight cylinders down to firing on just one.
We in the auto industry call it “variable displacement” —  shutting down normally half of an engine’s cylinders when not under load — to improve fuel economy. But unlike other designs, HP2g has discovered a way to vary which cylinders are shut down, so that when his engine is operating on a single cylinder, the cylinder that is firing rotates between the eight in his engine. This avoids excessive carbon buildup in part because we are using clean-burning E85 ethanol as his fuel source instead of a standard gasoline blend.

HP2g powerplant also picks up added efficiency because his incorporated electric motor — greatly responsible for the 500 ft. lbs. of torque the powerplant generates — operating on a pulse basis, instead of at what is called full saturation. In other words, the electric field used to generate power to the vehicle’s wheels can rapidly cycle on and off as required, saving energy. The vehicle uses just two “spiral core gel” batteries, common in racing, one on each side of the vehicle, and  also reclaims some energy from more established manners, such as regenerative braking, which captures energy that would otherwise be lost as a vehicle decelerates.

 The HP2g design picks up added efficiencies because of tight tolerances and sturdy design that reduces engine vibration and heat, all of which drain energy output from traditional vehicles.

Also the HP2g has log more than 22,000 miles of real-world driving on his 3,250 lb. 1987 Ford Mustang over the last 18 months with an average fuel economy of 109.7 mpg.

Standard EPA testing on the vehicle in Cleveland in May confirmed that — without the benefit of a catalytic converter, which his design does not require — the Mustang’s tailpipe emitted 86.6 of hydrocarbons and 0.46 percent carbon monoxide, both well below the newly imposed EPA standards for all automakers.

POET is the largest ethanol producer in the world, with a network of 26 plants in seven states producing more than 1.5 billion gallons of ethanol annual.

POET is excited to learn more about an American-made engine that runs exclusively on ethanol fuels.  The HP2g engine runs on clean burning E85 fuel, a renewable source grown by farmer’s right here in the USA.

“This is the next step in freeing the US to a Greener Environment,” Pelmear said. “This truly is the start towards Independence Day!”

Horse Power Sales Officially withdraws 110 mpg HP2g from  

Progressive Automotive X PRIZE Competition

Napoleon, OH:  June 4, 2009 ----  Horse Power Sales.net, Inc. has officially withdrawn their team and their 1987 Mustang, powered by the revolutionary, 110MPG, V-8, HP2g engine, from the upcoming Progressive Automotive X PRIZE Competition, effective June 4, 2009.

Horse Power’s Team HP2g was initially accepted as an official “letter of intent contender” for the X PRIZE in 2008 but no longer feels it is in the company’s best interests to compete in or be associated with the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE competition.

The reasons for the official withdrawal are: (1) after Team HP2g had been accepted as a letter of intent contender, X PRIZE reduced the prize amount for the Mainstream class of the competition from $7.5 million to $5 million; (2) in our opinion, a problematic conflict of interest occurred when X PRIZE allowed one of the accepted letter of intent contenders to be a part of the competition rule setting and ultimate team evaluation processes; and (3) the changing by X PRIZE of the race date from the summer of 2009 to the summer of 2010 resulted in the race no longer fitting into the business plan and business time line for our company which is moving forward with manufacturing and marketing of the HP2g for 2010 production vehicles.

In making this announcement, Horse Power Sales.net, Inc. President and CEO, Douglas Pelmear, stated: “We have always felt that the real reason for the X PRIZE competition was to help the world. By moving forward with our production plans, we will be doing just that.”    

First manufacturing facility for 110 MPG HP2g engine / R&D lab
 

Grand Opening June 1, 2009

Wauseon, OH: June1,2009 Time 10am -12noon ----  Horse Power Sales.net, Inc. and HP2G, LLC will officially open the first manufacturing facility for the production and assembly of their revolutionary, 110MPG, V-8, HP2g engine on June 1, 2009 in Wauseon, Ohio.

The facility will be located at 115 West Linfoot Street and will also serve as the companies’ research and development operations center.

The HP2g is a revolutionary alternative energy solution that will reduce the nation’s reliance on foreign oil, and help keep the environment clean. The engine runs on E85, (a green alcohol-based fuel) that significantly reduces green house gas emissions. In testing, HP2g has exhibited ultra-high fuel economy and outstanding horsepower upon demand. The first production vehicle to utilize the HP2g technology will be the Revenge Verde Super Car, a luxury performance super car from Revenge Designs Inc.

The opening of the facility will create immediate jobs for the Northwest Ohio area. Planned expansions could result in the creation of as many as 2,000 support jobs in the next three to five years.
