BUDAPEST, HUNGARY 10/3/07 -- Power of the Dream Ventures (PDV), Hungary's premiere technology acquisition company, today announced that the Company has appointed VITUKI, Hungary’s Environmental and Water Management Research and Consulting Ltd., to test the Company’s RiverPower technology.

VITUKI houses Central-Eastern Europe’s largest water testing equipment. RiverPower will be tested in a 70 meter long 1.5 meter wide channel. Rather than flowing water through the device, it will be moved in the water, which produces the same results but requires less expensive equipment. To test RiverPower machines with running water, as in a river, would have required equipment that is beyond the scope of VITUKI’s ability.

Both RiverPower prototypes will undergo rigorous trials to determine they structural, engineering and design soundness. Available tongue will be recorded with a special purpose torque meter especially acquired for the project.  Projected during of the trials is approximately 2 months. The prototypes will be tested with and without a wire mesh, which will be installed on the final life size machine and used for protecting the moving parts of the machine from larger contaminants inherent in rivers.

"This independent test will allow us to truly determine the real potential of this technology, and to gain significant insight into the optimal construction needs of the machine. VITUKI is an internationally recognized and respected expert in water management issues. Their findings will be paramount in enhancing RiverPower, if need be." commented Viktor Rozsnyay, President of the Company.
