PROPOSAL TO DESIGN AND OVERSEE TESTING PROGRAM FOR "DEVICE FOR SAVING FUEL AND
REDUCING EMISSIONS" DESCRIBED UNDER PATENT APPLICATION PCT/AU1/00585
RAND proposes to design and oversee a device testing program as follows:
Task 1: Design device testing program
Task 2: Pre-combustion fuel testing (testing phase I)
Task 3: Small, spark-ignition gasoline engine testing (testing phase II)
Task 4: Additional engine testing (testing phase III)
Task 5: Summary of results and recommendations for next steps
TASK 1: DESIGN DEVICE TESTING PROGRAM
RAND will consider findings of its technical review of magnetic fuel treatment,
and review available protocols for laboratory tests of aftermarket vehicle
retrofit devices. These will guide the initial design of a testing program that
aims to achieve consistent, statistically significant results describing a
possible effect that can be attributable to the device. Device testing will
occur in three phases, with the first two being conducted simultaneously. In
each phase, an appropriate experimental design will be applied. Design
considerations will include selection of an appropriate experimental device,
determination of sufficient sample size, appropriate testing order, and
variables to be controlled and measured. For each of the testing phases RAND
will identify 2 or 3 potential sources for the testing and will request short
proposals from them. RAND will then choose a source for the testing based on
competency and cost. It is possible that one source will be able to accomplish
all three testing phases, but it is more likely that different organizations
will be responsible for different types of testing.
Deliverables (1) Draft Request for Proposals (RFP) that can be distributed to
independent research laboratories that are appropriately equipped and staffed to
conduct Phase 1 pre-combustion fuel tests, briefly described below. (2) Project
Memorandum that summarizes experimental design, and outlines an implementation
approach that includes names of independent laboratories appropriately equipped
to conduct Phase 2 and 3 exhaust emissions tests.
TASK 2: PRE-COMBUSTION FUEL TESTING (TESTING PHASE I)
RAND will oversee work and interpret results of an independent laboratory (under
separate contract) that will explore one possible mechanism for magnetic fuel
treatment-improved pre-combustion atomization of fuel. Note that this is only
one possible mechanism, but appears to be the most widely believed by proponents
of magnetic fuel treatment, and may be tested in a laboratory. The experimental
approach will be detailed in an RFP prepared under Task 1, and summarized
briefly as follows:
First, in a simple modeling exercise, we will attempt to understand how changes
in fuel viscosity and/or surface tension affect nozzle efficiency and droplet
size. Next, we will measure the effect of a magnetic field on viscosity and
surface tension for a range of fuels (including diesel). If the observed changes
in fluid properties are on the same order-of-magnitude as the changes required
to impact the atomization process, these two studies provide evidence of a
physical basis for the effects of magnetic fuel treatment on combustion
processes.
Deliverable. Project Memorandum describing modeling and fuel testing methodology
and results.
TASK 3: SMALL, SPARK IGNITION GASOLINE ENGINE TESTING (TESTING PHASE II)
RAND will oversee work and interpret results of an independent laboratory (under
separate contract) identified by the California Air Resources Board. The
laboratory will test the device on a small, spark-ignition gasoline engine
(e.g., two-stroke motorcycle or lawnmower engine.) The experimental approach
will be detailed in a Project Memorandum prepared under Task 1, but essentially
entails measurement of a range of exhaust emissions, with and without the device
installed, while carefully controlling operating conditions and testing order. A
sufficient number of experimental runs (n) will be conducted. Use of a simple,
small engine-we believe-lends itself to more cost-effective testing that is
aimed at achieving consistent, statistically significant results. Results are
relevant to this class of engines, and may also warrant further testing of a
wider range of engines and fuel types in Phase 3.
Deliverable. Project Memorandum describing device testing methodology and
results. TASK 4: ADDITIONAL ENGINE TESTING (TESTING PHASE III)
At the discretion of RAND, and in light of results of Phase 1 and 2 testing,
RAND may continue the testing program in this phase.
RAND will expand device testing to include installation on larger, carbureted
and fuel-injected, spark-ignition gasoline and compressed-ignition diesel
engines. Development and implementation of this phase of the testing program
will take place in coordination with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
as part of EPA's Motor Vehicle Aftermarket Retrofit Device Program.
As in Phase 2, RAND will work with an independent testing laboratory (under
separate contract) identified by the California Air Resources Board to conduct
testing of the device. A range of relevant exhaust emissions will be measured,
with and without the device installed, while operating conditions and testing
order are controlled. Testing may include both laboratory and road tests. A
sufficient number of experimental runs (n) will be conducted.
Deliverable. (1) RAND published research paper describing device testing
methodology and results of all phases of the testing program. (2) Draft
application for official review of the device and testing results by the EPA,
under the EPA Motor Vehicle Aftermarket Retrofit Device Program, with results to
be reported in the Federal Register. Note that part of the application also
requires explanation of the theoretical basis of the device.
TASK 5: SUMMARY OF RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEXT STEPS
RAND will review all the results, summarize them in a report for STW, Inc; and
evaluate what the results mean for the potential for this product. If the tests
have come out successful, RAND will address different market opportunities based
on the results and suggest future directions for the deployment of the product.
If the tests have come out unsuccessful, RAND will outline the apparent reasons
for why the product did not operate as expected n the patent application.
SCHEDULE
Task 1: One month
Task 2: approximately 6 months (depending on availability of labs),
conducted in parallel with testing Phase 2
Task 3: 6 months (depending on availability of labs)
Task 4: 6 months (depending on availability of labs), conducted after
Phases 1 and 2 are completed.
Task 5: 1 month after final lab results
