Bhagwan G-Cylinder trial proves potential for savings at sea

A fuel saving above 20% has been achieved in a long-term test of a carbon nanotube device fitted to a Bhagwan Marine vessel.

The G-Cylinder, developed by an Australian Research & Development company, utilises carbon nanotube technology from Japan to enhance fuel combustibility, reduce engine wear, cut emissions and improve power delivery.

Fitted to the fuel line in a relatively simple, low cost procedure, the G-Cylinder conducts radiant heat from the engine room to stimulate the emission of far infrared radiation within the graphene and carbon nanotube. This infrared radiation excites the diesel fuel molecules, disentangling and dispersing them so that they are optimised for combustion

¼ throttle tests with the G-cylinder show a noticeable decrease in specific fuel consumption.

 December 10th 2004.

 1966 Holden 161 “red” engine, 2,640cc

Test 4: 0.456 kg/kWh ¼ throttle, with G-cylinder

Test 5: 0.549 kg/kWh  ¼ throttle,  no G-cylinder

The results from test 4  (¼ throttle with the g-cylinder) gave a 17% reduction  in specific fuel consumption in comparison to test 5 (¼ throttle no g-cylinder)

The tests conducted at UWA show the G-cylinder achieving 17% improved fuel consumption. The short 15 minute tests do not conclusively evaluate the G-cylinder. Results indicate and reinforce that this could be the worlds most advanced superior fuel saving device.

The reductions in carbon monoxide and residual hydrocarbons are confirmation that the combustion efficiency has improved.
