BUDAPEST, HUNGARY 05/25/07 -- Power of the Dream Ventures, Inc. (PDV) is pleased to announce that that company’s wholly owned Hungarian subsidiary, Vidatech Llp, has filed two patent applications for the protection of RiverPower, a recently acquired environmentally friendly small-hydro power generation technology.

The patents were filed in Hungary, with PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) applications to be filed within the time allowed by patent law. One of the applications covers the vertical, interlinked wheel assembly making up the machine while the other application is aimed at protecting the slow turning generator design.

"I am delighted that after a year of groundwork we were able to close a reverse transaction to become a publicly reporting company. We have now filed our first patent application and our business model is well underway. Our team and investors are extremely excited that our first patent application is a revolutionary new, environmentally friendly small-hydro product that will rapidly gain wide acceptance. RiverPower can be installed without environmentally damaging dam construction and the technology produces energy twenty four hours a day seven days a week, three hundred sixty five days a year", commented Viktor Rozsnyay, President of the Company.

RiverPower, the revolutionary small-hydro power generator was recently purchased by the Company. Its inventor, Janos Salca, has worked on perfecting the product for over 15 years before he finally managed to find an appropriate partner for commercialization. "We are honored to have been entrusted with this great product. I believe that given our expertise and resources, Mr. Salca’s vision will finally be brought to reality. The patent applications just filed are the first step in the process." added Daniel Kun, Vice President of the Company.

With patents filed, engineering work will commence on a one forth scale prototype to be independently tested before a full size machine is built.
