BUDAPEST, HUNGARY 10/29/07 -- Power of the Dream Ventures, Inc. (PDV), Hungary's premiere technology acquisition company is pleased to announce the acquisition of revolutionary desalination technology from inventor Otto Buresch.

“We were captivated by the potential of Otto’s desalination device. Since building of a full working prototype will cost relative small amounts, not more than $400,000, we felt it was appropriate to get involved given the immense upside potential. Fresh drinking water is already a problem in many regions, and could become an even bigger issue in the near future. Otto’s concept and design is refreshing in its approach and could provide an alternative to the currently employed reverse osmosis and multi-stage flash distillation methods. In addition, the device can be made self contained and power off of solar panels for portability.” commented Viktor Rozsnyay, President of the Company.

Pursuant to the invention transfer agreement Vidatech obtained exclusive rights to develop and commercialize the device. Prior to signing the agreement a thorough due diligence review was completed to establish the uniqueness and patentability of the technology by Pintz and Co., independent patent attorneys. Once the technology enters commercial service Vidatech is entitled to receive sixty percent of revenues while Mr. Buresch would receive forty percent. Since in its current stage of development the desalination device only consists of comprehensive design specifications and engineering drawings there was no upfront payment. All cost relating to the development of the device will be borne by PDV.

“Coming from the engineering background it made instant sense to me what Otto was proposing. In fact it was an elegant approach. I believe we can build a demo unit in relatively short time if a number of component manufacturing issues can be resolved. We may need to order sub assemblies from international suppliers, but I don’t see a problem in proving proof of concept.” said Mihaly Zala, Chief Technology Officer of the Company.

The technology itself uses a mixture of vacuum distillation with ultrasonic impulse excitation and cavitation, a unique mix of seemingly unrelated technologies that has not been brought together before.

Going forward patent application(s) will be filed to protect the inventions. Concurrent with writing of the patent engineering will commence on building a technology demonstrator prototype. Fallowing extensive field testing a commercial version will be built after which the technology will be available for licensing.
