JTorence this is from the AFTC news letter 2012 on there website.
We are looking at ways to commercialize the technology that we developed on this
project. Although there is a chance that the Army may use this redesigned pump, we
think that the chances are remote. The Army has moved away from Cummins diesel
engines and now purchases mostly Navistar trucks and engines
This is the letter Jim sent regarding the grant.
AFTC: We just received a grant/contract from the National Science Foundation to work on DME. Our partners are Michigan Tech. University, Argonne National Lab, and Navistar. We are supplying a new, high pressure DME injection system. There were something like 1000 applications for grants and 2 were picked, so we did well. Unfortunately, because of the sequester and other factors, the budget was cut by 2/3! We are waiting for the final numbers. Work will start in a month or so,
We have some pending military/aerospace business pending, but this is confidential.
We have a DME proposal pending at another University. We should hear something about this within 60 days.
We are working on a new concept for passenger car that will use DME blended with another fuel. This is not truly a diesel engine, but the efficiency is very high.
