HANS WALITZKI TO LEAD DEVELOPMENT\r\n\r\nGibraltar 14th February 2007\r\n\r\nPower Chips plc (US OTC: PWCHF) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Hans J. Walitzki as Chief Development Officer. Power Chips, a subsidiary of Borealis Exploration Limited plc (US OTC: BOREF), is developing systems to directly convert heat to electrical power. These systems can be used to recover waste heat from power stations, smokestacks, and automobiles and in co- generation and geothermal power plants. Dr. Walitzki will manage the final development and commercialization of Power Chips and related technologies.\r\n\r\nPower Chips(tm) are projected to be the most effective heat-energy converters by using a gap between the electrodes to suppress parasitic heat flows. Further, their success builds on the optimization of the \"Avto Effect\". Named for Dr Avto Tavkhelidze, who first theorized, researched and discovered it, the Avto Effect affects a material's \"work function\", the amount of work needed to cause electron emission. In repeated tests, the material's work function has been markedly lowered, allowing electrons to flow more freely across the vacuum gap.\r\n\r\nDr. Walitzki earned his degree in Physics from the University of Bonn, in Germany. He has worked extensively in thin film and wafer technologies, spending many years with Wacker Chemitronic and latterly Wacker Siltronic, where he was Director of Technology. He founded his own company, soiTronic, Inc. in 1999 to bring new wafer technologies to the market, and successfully integrated his company into Isonics Corporation, becoming Vice President for Advanced Wafer Technology.\r\n\r\nIsaiah W Cox, President of Power Chips plc, said: \"Hans has extensive experience of administration, technology management and mass manufacturing in this exciting field. He has been a strong supporter of our work for many years and we are delighted to welcome him formally to head up the development of our technology and take it out of the laboratory and into the industry.\"\r\n\r\nDr. Walitzki said: \"It's a pleasure to be able to work on such a novel and potentially world-changing technology. All over the world industries are demanding greater efficiency in power generation and in cooling. The Avto Effect technologies are well pla...
