CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO RULE 13a-14 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
AS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Michael J. Luciano, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER of MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. certify
that:

1.   I  have  reviewed  this  Form  10-QSB  of  MPM   Technologies,   Inc.  (the
     "Registrant");

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
     material  fact  or  omit to  state  material  fact  necessary  to make  the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such statements
     were made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to the  period  covered by this
     report;

3.   Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
     information  included  in  this  report,  fairly  present  in all  material
     respects the financial condition,  results of operations, and cash flows of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report;

4.   The  Registrant's  other  certifying  officer  and  I are  responsible  for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 (e) and  15d-15(e) for the  Registrant  and we
     have:

     a)   designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
          disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under  our
          supervision,  to ensure  that  material  information  relating  to the
          Registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
          us by others within those entities,  particularly during the period in
          which this report is being prepared;

     b)   designed such internal controls over financial reporting to be
          designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance
          regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
          of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
          generally accepted accounting principles;

     c)   evaluated the  effectiveness of the Registrant's  disclosure  controls
          and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions  about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
          of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;

     d)   disclosed  in this  report  any  change in the  Registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant's
          most recent fiscal quarter (the Registrant's  fourth fiscal quarter in
          the case of an annual  report)  that has  materially  affected,  or is
          reasonably  likely to materially  affect,  the  Registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting; and

5.   The registrant's  other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,  based on
     our most recent  evaluation,  to the  registrant's  auditors  and the audit
     committee of  registrant's  board of directors (or persons  performing  the
     equivalent functions):

     a)   all  significant  deficiencies  in the design or operation of internal
          controls  which could  adversely  affect the  registrant's  ability to
          record,  process,   summarize  and  report  financial  data  and  have
          identified for the  registrant's  auditors any material  weaknesses in
          internal controls: and

     b)   any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
          employees who have a  significant  role in the  registrant's  internal
          controls.

6.   The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer and I have  indicated in this
     report whether there were  significant  changes in internal  controls or in
     other factors that could significantly  affect internal controls subsequent
     to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions
     with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
