Los Alamos National Labratory and PerriQuest Defense Research Enterprises, LLC have entered into a research and development agreement to come up with a commercially viable solution for Plasma Assisted Combustion.
The point of their technology is that an electronic device is attached to an existing fuel injector. The device will then apply an electrical voltage to the atomized fuel stream which is what generates the plasma in the fuel. This essentially atomizes the fuel even better which gives the fuel a more complete burn resulting in more miles per gallon or less emissions……..but not both. This technology will actually work for diesel, gas, or turbine engines.
Who’s going to be the first person with the “My plasma-bio-diesel engine get’s 100mpg!” bumpersticker?
