                   JURY RETURNS VERDICTS TODAY IN CASE BETWEEN
                    HONEYWELL SATELLITE SYSTEMS OPERATION AND
                         AMERICAN FLYWHEEL SYSTEMS, INC.
                                        
     PHOENIX, ARIZONA - November 27, 1996 _ In litigation between Honeywell Inc.

Satellite Systems Operation (SSO) and American Flywheel Systems, Inc. (AFS)

involving a technology development contract, a Phoenix jury today returned three

verdicts against Honeywell which total $38 million dollars and one verdict in

favor of Honeywell for relief which will be determined by the court.

     The case stemmed from the development contract signed in 1993 for an

electro mechanical flywheel battery (EMFB).  Honeywell originally filed suit in

September 1994 because of AFS's failure to pay SSO for work performed and

because the parties were unable to agree on their respective rights and

obligations under the contract.  AFS countersued with allegations relating to

the breach of the development agreement.  Judge Rebecca A. Albrecht of Maricopa

County Superior Court presided over the trial which began on October 7.

     `We are disappointed by the jury's findings and believe that the verdicts

are fatally flawed because they are not supported by the evidence before the

jury,' John J. Leshinski, counsel for Honeywell said.  `We will bring motions to

contest these verdicts and resolve the remaining issues.  We expect these

motions will be heard by the court over the next several months and resolved

sometime in 1997.'

     Honeywell is a global controls company focused on creating value through

control technology that enhances comfort, improves productivity, saves energy,

protects the environment and increases safety.  The company serves customers

worldwide in the home and buildings, industrial, and aviation and space markets.
