Next
Alternative of Ottawa, Canada, has announced that the company’s
emulsion-fuel or NAI-Fuel is now one of the most powerful formulas
available because of its utilization of carbon nanotubes. Its NAI-Fuel
comprises 60% petroleum and 40% water. It also contains trace amounts of
nanotechnology-enabled stabilizing agent to enhance the fuel power.
The
introduction of carbon nanotubes into the emulsion-fuel mixture allows
the dispersion of standardized nano-sized water particles confined
inside a drop of oil. The use of this emulsion-fuel mixture in a
combustion engine forms a water vapor explosion that disperses fuel
particles into a super heated steam to create a gas and water reaction.
This
reaction occurs uniformly and instantaneously, resulting in a
more-efficient combustion, less fuel consumption and reduced output of
emissions. According to Next Alternative, it is one among the few
companies using nanotechnology for its emulsion-fuel process, which
makes its NAI-Fuel as one of the most efficient and powerful formulas
available.
