Zenergy Power plc
(`Zenergy' or the `Group')
Induction Heater Patent
Zenergy Power plc (AIM:ZEN.L), the specialist developer and manufacturer of
industrial-scale clean energy and electric power devices employing
high-temperature superconductor (`HTS') technologies, is pleased to announce
that it has been granted a core patent in Germany relating to its
ground-breaking HTS induction heater.
The patent in question covers a key operating process which governs the
exceptional heating control, performance and overall productivity of the HTS
machine. Accordingly, the Group now enjoys protection over a key design
specification that enables the HTS induction heater to deliver significant
increases in industrial output as evidenced by the recent performance data
released by the Group's first industrial customer, Weseralu GmbH.

About superconductivity
Superconductive materials are capable of conducting electricity without any
resistance and were first discovered in 1911 in what was to prove to be one of
the most significant scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century.
Superconductors enable:
(a) Induction Heaters to be twice as efficient for the metals industry
(b) Fault Current Limiters to protect power grids from blackouts
(c) Direct-drive wind generators to be significantly reduced in size and weight
allowing the operation of wind generators in excess of 8 MW
(d) Existing hydro-power sites to increase energy efficiency and electrical
power output
