Engine Efficiency * USA - Simple Device Uses Electrical Field To Boost Internal Combustion
Morgan Hill,Cal,USA -TechLime, by Rajan -4 October, 2008: -- This sounds almost too simple to be true, but a university physics professor has developed a simple device which could improve automotive fuel efficiency by 20 percent... The device creates an electric field that thins fuel, or reduces its viscosity , so that smaller droplets are injected into the engine which in turn leads to more efficient and cleaner combustion... Six months of road testing in a diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz showed the device improved mileage from 32 mpg to 38 mpg... The results of the laboratory and road tests were published this month in Energy & Fuels, a bi-monthly journal published by the American Chemical Society... According to Joe Dell, vice president of marketing for STWA, the company is currently working with a trucking company near Reading, Pa., to test the device on diesel-powered trucks, where he estimates it could increase fuel efficiency as much as 6-12 percent...Labels: engine efficiency
