Borealis Unveils Radical New Technologies.


Business Editors

GIBRALTAR--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2001

Borealis Exploration Limited Borealis Exploration Ltd. is a Gibraltar-based research and development company that owns subsidiaries dealing with materials and power transfer. The company considers itself a virtual company, and is publicly traded.  (BOREF) a research and development company developing significant new technologies for established industries, is developing a portfolio of new technologies that provide an opportunity for industry to re-energize markets in the current economic downturn.

Borealis is releasing, for the first time, photographs of its proprietary Cool Chip (tm), Power Chip (tm) and Chorus Motor (tm) technologies, which the company believes will play a dominant role in bringing about this resurgence - a new Industrial Revolution. These photographs show working laboratory prototypes that demonstrate the technologies in question. The company is in discussion with market leaders to license these technologies for commercial use.

The new photographs can be seen at http://www.borealis.gi/technology/photos.shtml

Most of the core technologies that underlie the modern industrial world were invented in the last half of the 19th Century. While these technologies have been greatly improved in the century-plus since their invention, they have not been fundamentally changed.

What Borealis has done is to take key discoveries in science in the last 100 years and apply them to the century-old basic industries. By rethinking basic technologies in light of recent scientific advances, Borealis has been able to reinvent re·in·vent

 some of the world's core industrial technologies to make them more useful and more efficient for the 21st Century.

Cool Chips(tm) are small solid-state devices solid-state device

Electronic device that operates on the basis of the electric, magnetic, or optical properties of a solid material, especially one that uses a solid crystal in which an orderly three-dimensional arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules is repeated
 that pump heat to provide refrigeration refrigeration, process for drawing heat from substances to lower their temperature, often for purposes of preservation. Refrigeration in its modern, portable form also depends on insulating materials that are thin yet effective. , air conditioning air conditioning, mechanical process for controlling the humidity, temperature, cleanliness, and circulation of air in buildings and rooms. Indoor air is conditioned and regulated to maintain the temperature-humidity ratio that is most comfortable and healthful. , or localized cooling. They are projected to be more efficient than any competing technologies, as well as significantly smaller and lighter.

Power Chips(tm) are small solid-state devices which create electric power by harnessing heat flow. Potential applications include power generation, electric and hybrid-electric vehicles, waste heat recovery, converting solar energy solar energy, any form of energy radiated by the sun, including light, radio waves, and X rays, although the term usually refers to the visible light of the sun. , and geothermal power Geothermal power

Thermal or electrical power produced from the thermal energy contained in the Earth (geothermal energy). Use of geothermal energy is based thermodynamically on the temperature difference between a mass of subsurface rock and water and a mass
 production.

The Chorus(tm) Motor uses new controllers and windings to substantially increase the efficiency of AC motors. Characteristics include very high start-up torque and greater efficiency, within standard operating temperature limits. Suitable applications include traction motors A traction motor is a type of electric motor used to power the driving wheels of a vehicle such as a railroad locomotive, electrical multi-unit train (such as a subway or light rail vehicle train), a tram, or an automobile. , elevators, locomotives This is a list of locomotives (classes, or individual locomotives) that currently have articles in Wikipedia.

, marine engines and electric or hybrid-electric vehicles.

The Borealis Industrial Revolution is thus the reinvention of some the basic technologies of the industrial economy by exploiting the scientific advances of the last century to create new technologies that are more efficient, use less energy and fewer materials, protect the environment, and better serve the modern world. It begins with the Chorusu Motor, Cool Chipsu, Power Chipsu - and there is more to come.

Borealis Exploration Limited, based in Gibraltar, has 4,942,197 shares outstanding.
