BURLINGTON, ONTARIO, CANADA -- Alternate Energy Corporation (OTCBB: ARGY) has completed its first ‘live’ demonstration of its hydrogen production unit (HPU).

The purpose of the demonstration was to provide a complete overview of the unit's functionality while showcasing some of its key benefits, including portability, safety and environmentally friendly by-products. In addition to producing on-demand hydrogen in front of the crowd, the unit demonstrated its ability to power a small generator at idle and under load.

AEC intends to provide a hydrogen fuel system that has mass-deployment economics and provides small-scale, on-demand distributed generation of electricity. AEC's proprietary discovery in metallurgy permits a small-scale unit to generate hydrogen from an aqueous solution through a "green" system at a price competitive with the current fossil fuel kWh cost of energy.

The demonstration was conducted on Sunday, May 8, 2005 at AEC’s contracted laboratory in Downsview, Ontario, Canada. The attendees consisted of a little over a dozen interested investors and other involved parties.  The Company anticipates scheduling product demonstrations with key strategic partners in the first quarter of 2005, then shipping initial hydrogen production and electricity generation systems later in 2005.

Blaine Froats, AEC’s Chairman and CEO stated, “It was evident that our visitors were clearly impressed by what they witnessed. Though this first meeting was conducted at our consultant’s facility for convenience, future demonstrations will be delivered to the doorstep of interested parties, fueling a variety of power applications.”

Video footage of AEC’s live demonstration will be made available on the company’s website next week to registered shareholders and other qualified individuals - see www.cleanwatts.com.
