Houston, TX (BusinessWire) April 6, 2006 -- American Security Resources Corporation [OTCBB: ARSC] today announced that its subsidiary Hydra Fuel Cell Corp. has joined the University of South Carolina's (USC) Center for Fuel Cells Industry Advisory Board.

"The exposure we will generate for our HydraStax™ technology through participation on this Advisory Board is immeasurable," said Bob Farr, President of American Security Resources.

"Through our participation with this distinguished group of fuel cell industry executives, we will have advance access to cutting edge technological innovation in scientific areas related to our work here at Hydra Fuel Cell on future versions of the HydraStax™" said Benjamin F Schafer CTO of Hydra. "We have a significant intellectual property platform already and we are currently filing many more patent applications related to the HydraStax™ design that we feel will leverage the value not only of the fuel cell units we produce but generate significant licensing opportunities as well," he added. "We expect to continue expanding the scope of our licensing and patent portfolio as we bring the HydraStax™ to market in 2006."
