Testing I do know that the 511 programs requires testing to be performed on two different engines. WTCT stated in there May 5, 2011 PR out from Global Newswire "The lab will perform a wide variety of tests and data collection on three separate fuel reformers using the same engine. The basic plan is to establish baseline performance on a specific profile without the fuel reformer installed and then repeat the same profile with each of the three fuel reformers and compare the data". So, I get from this is that its not the same testing requirements as the 511 program.
Whats Tested As far as what devices WTCT will be testing, "In late April, Watchit Technologies announced that it had awarded a contract to a Chicago-area automotive manufacturer to build the next phase of prototypes for the Fuel Reformer. Now comes word that the company, in collaboration with its engineering team, has chosen a Detroit based power-train test laboratory to help put the prototypes through their paces".
Financing-“WTCT has secured a commitment of independent funding that will allow us to produce the needed prototypes as well as proceed with extensive specialized laboratory testing. Very specific success criteria is being negotiated that will be tied to the funding and additional testing and evaluation.” continued Bennett. “In very simple terms, if the company can replicate its previous test results, we will be in a position to catapult the fuel savings device to the world markets without any concerns over finance and production. This is possibly the single biggest step in the history of the company and the fuel reformer.”
