JADOO POWER AWARDED GENERAL ATOMICS CONTRACT FOR
ADVANCED FUEL CANISTER DESIGN

New Fuel System Can Deliver 10X the Energy Density of Batteries

Folsom, CA - August 23, 2006 - Jadoo Power Systems Inc. (Jadoo) www.jadoopower.com,
the leading supplier of portable fuel cell power systems, announced today that
General Atomics, Space Power Division has awarded Jadoo a contract to develop an
advanced fuel canister for use with hydrogen fuel cells.

Using Jadoo's N-Stor intelligent digital fuel interface, the new fuel canister
utilizes an advanced chemical hydride derived from ammonia borane. Compared to
re-chargeable metal hydrides, one-time use chemical hydrides provide higher energy
densities at a dramatically reduced weight. The fuel canister will allow consumers
to choose which fuel option they prefer, knowing that the interface ensures
compatibility with the Jadoo N-Gen fuel cell power unit. The proprietary Jadoo
N-Stor interface adds following capabilities to the new fuel canister:
. Easy-to-use digital "state-of-fill" indicator
. Automatic information transfer between fuel canister and fuel cell for power, data
and fluids
. Industry standard, tamper-proof safety valve design
. 100% compatibility with all N-Stor enabled fuel cell power units

"The N-Stor interface is certainly an important and necessary innovation for the
advancement of fuel cell power," said Dr. Tom Lechtenberg, General Atomics Vice
President. "With an installed base of fuel cell systems in the market, the time to
commercialization of an ammonia borane fuel solution will be cut in half thanks to
the N-Stor interface."

"Our N-Stor interface is quickly becoming a standard for the industry," said Larry
Bawden, President & CEO, Jadoo Power. "We are excited to be working with General
Atomics to bring yet another advanced fuel option to market for our customers."
