1. Boats Powered by Adsorbed Natural Gas
Concept already demonstrated for automotive application with
a converted bi-fuel Toyota Corolla that
has successfully operated on the road for a year.
2. At Luon Energy, we have developed a nanotechnology adsorbent
that acts like a sponge, soaking up natural gas at low enough
pressure to be filled from a conventional natural gas line using a
modest compressor that costs 5-10 times cheaper than CNG
counterpart.
We have developed an on-board storage tank for the fuel, and a
simple engine modification, both applicable for commercial vessels
as well
Our project will demonstrate a natural gas filled recreational boat
(e.g. a fishing-sized vessel) with a target range of 200 miles or
greater between refills. We will offer two concepts- an onboard
storage tank that adds about 10% of the dry weight of the vessel;
and a second concept employing a floating tender with virtually
unlimited storage capacity and range.
