We point with pride to a few of our graduates
(ask for more examples from admissions):

Mark Mentzer says:
"When I enrolled at The University I had little skills
in the web process. Now six months later they are providing
me with site work where I have earned from $400-$1000
in a 2-4 day period!  I've built a valuable portfolio that
I can market to potential clients or employees.  This school
was a big break for me."

Jennifer Den Adel said:
"The staff at The University has been great.
In fact, I started out as an intern, and through this
past year I've found flexible hours, an invaluable
work experience, and the ability to earn a great income.
The School has opened the doors for me!"

Paul Luecke mentioned:
"With the fantastic program at this school, I was able to pay for
my training in about two weeks worth of work for their clients!
To learn this skill was greatbut to have a program where the
University basically paid me to learn was unbelievable!"

After your graduation you also receive FREE Web Hosting Space
to display your work, AND, as your client base begins to soar,
we will provide graduates with ADDITIONAL HOSTING SPACE
FOR YOUR CLIENTS at next-to-cost pricing! This is a direct profit
center for YOU, the web designer, resulting from your clients
monthly fees paid directly to you, for hosting their sites.

Think it through...
If you develop your own clientele and you net just $50 a\ month
from your hosting fees, 20 clients would bring you an
additional $1000 a month in hosting fees alone!  Now you see
why, as a Commercial Web Design Specialist...THERE ARE NO LIMITS!

Our staff of Student Counselors and Advisors will help to properly
structure your proposed curriculum, and answer any questions you

 NEW POWER TECHNOLOGY BATTERY EXPECTED TO IMPACT 
BATTERY INDUSTRY

The Concept: To produce a new, environmentally friendly, more 
powerful, more efficient battery for commercial use in the electric 
automobile andother existing battery applications.
The Inventor: Internationally recognized inventor Alvin A. 
Snaper holdsseveral hundred patents, including the IBM 
Selectric Ball, an Apollo photo instrument for NASA, landing 
gear for Boeing, a Fluidic computer for Singer, a Fluidic 
Missile System for Rocketdyne, an electrostatic paint process
 for General Motors and now, the Power Technology Battery.
The Past:  Over the past three years, Mr. Snaper has been 
developing a battery to replace the environmentally 
lead acid battery used in most automobiles, trains, airplanes 
and marine craft, and to power electric vehicles more effectively.  
To succeed in the electric vehicle market, a battery needs lighter 
components and substantially increased power densities so the 
electric vehicle can compete with the internal combustion engine
 in performance and cost.  Batteries, a major component of the 
electric vehicle, are typically subject to low efficiencies and
 are an environmental hazard (they contain lead and acid).  
However, Mr. Snaper and his team have developed a superior 
battery with a unique electrode structure, made of a nontoxic 
alloy, which increases the electrochemically active surface 
area within the battery 1000 times and is light weight, produces 
more charge and recharges very quickly.  This technology also 
utilizes a safe, nontoxic electrolyte in place of acid.

The Present:  Power Technology, Inc. has applied for patent 
protection for the battery and has received the pending number.  
Meetings with commercial battery producers are slated during 
the summer of 2000 and first and second quarters of 2001 to 
demonstrate the product and discuss options for commercial 
production.
The Advantage: While Power Technology, Inc. is initially 
seeking to deliver an updated battery for the electric car, its unique 
product can immediately be adapted to the existing battery market place.  
The Power Technology battery can be used in boats, ships, and 
airplanes to reduce weight and increase power.  In automobiles, the 
toxic lead acid battery can be eliminated.

The Future:
 Power Technology, Inc. will form industry alliances with commercial
battery manufacturers to deliver its battery to the marketplace
efficiently, without the cost of developing its own factories and
marketing connections.

Power Technology, Inc. will organize alliances with producers of
electric vehicles, aircraft, water craft, trains and heavy trucks to
test this product in all types of conditions and prove its superiority
to industry and the public.  There is also a tremendous market
application for bicycles.

 Power Technology, Inc. will work to deliver this and other
environmentally friendly products to the market place.  Other products
in development include a new air conditioner unit for automobiles that
eliminates the use of freon, and an alloy sensor that generates its own
voltage continuously.  The Company is conducting research and
development on its patented alloy sensor technology.  The proprietary
alloy gives off a small (1.5v) electrical charge when it comes in
contact with moisture.  The Company has been developing this technology 
for use as a permanently installed water detection device to check for the
 presence of water in storage tanks, fuel tanks and other systems. The 
alloy sensor can be mounted on a valve socket, along with a meter. A 
plug inserted into the valve permits quick and easy meter readings.

This technology also has applications in the roofing and marine
industries and hydro applications, and it can be used as a low-voltage
battery.

Patents are our future.  Power Technology, Inc. through the sale of
licences for the use of its technologies, will establish a highly
efficient, financially sound, commercially viable corporation that will
work for the benefit of its shareholders.

BATTERY INNOVATIONby POWER TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Power Technology’s years of research and development have produced 
a revolutionary internal battery structure which, when coupled with the 
correct application of nickel and iron, will:
  1.  Require one-half (1/2) the size of a lead-acid battery to produce
an equal number of watt hours;
  2.   Require one-half (1/2) the charging time of a lead-acid battery
to produce an equal number of watt hours;
  3.  Weigh less than one-half (1/2) the weight of a comparably sized
lead a
