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.
