VYCON's VDC Flywheel System Awarded Most Sustainable Product by Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo

LOS ANGELES, CA, Oct 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
VYCON (www.vyconenergy.com), the designer and manufacturer of
environmentally friendly, high-speed energy storage flywheel systems,
today announced that its VDC flywheel system has been honored by
Healthcare Facilities with the Most Sustainable Product award for their
2009 Symposium Distinction Awards. VYCON was recognized for this
achievement Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 at the Healthcare Facilities
Symposium & Expo during the awards ceremony. The event was held at the
Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois.

VYCON's clean energy storage systems protect critical computer servers,
diagnostic equipment and electronic medical records against costly and
damaging power problems. VYCON's VDC flywheel system provides backup power
that is fast, reliable, predictable and seamless. Unlike traditional
battery-based power backup systems, the VDC has a 20-year lifespan, is
low-maintenance and maintains a much smaller carbon footprint with no
requirement for expensive cooling, hazardous materials or disposal issues.
This makes the flywheel the most reliable and cost-effective "bridge" to a
generator during a power failure.

"The Symposium Distinction Awards competition continues to grow each year,
so for the 2009 competition our panel of judges had their work cut out for
them! We were thrilled to present the Most Sustainable product award to
VYCON. Their excellent work was selected from among many quality entrants
as the best of the best," said Jenabeth Ferguson, Event Director,
Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo.

"Hospitals and healthcare facility data centers around the globe are
implementing measures to reduce their carbon footprint and our VDC clean
energy storage system helps our customers meet their green goals while
protecting their budgets," said Frank DeLattre, President of VYCON. "We're
honored to be recognized by Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo for our
innovative VDC Direct Connect UPS system that provides our customers with
a reliable and sustainable solution to backup power. We're proud that our
environmentally-friendly flywheel solution plays a significant role in the
greening of healthcare facilities while improving critical power system
reliability and providing a return on investment."

VYCON is an innovator in the design and manufacturing of technologically
advanced flywheel energy storage systems that enable a highly reliable,
cost-effective and "green" energy storage solution for a variety of
applications. Key to VYCON's flywheel superiority and dependability is its
ability to discharge and recharge very quickly when called upon during
power outages. VYCON's fleet of VDC, VDC-XE and REGEN systems have logged
a record million-plus discharge and recharge cycles -- in very demanding
applications that oftentimes call on the VYCON systems to discharge and
recharge every two minutes.
