STWA, Inc. and Temple University Announce Results in Testing of Fuel Technology
MORGAN HILL, CA--(Marketwire - March 12, 2008) - Save The World Air, Inc. ("STWA") (OTCBB: ZERO) today announced significant test results in the development of
applications relating to our electronic fuel product and crude oil
treatment technology known as Elektra. STWA holds an exclusive worldwide
license for the Elektra technology from Temple University of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania ("Temple").
Dr. Rongjia Tao, Temple's principal researcher of the Elektra technology,
reported that in recent dynamometer testing of the technology applied on a
used diesel automobile, performance improved 20%. Dr. Tao stated, "The test
result also indicates that diesel vehicles will increase their fuel mileage
quite significantly once they have our electric fuel device installed. If
the road test is under the same ideal condition as our lab test, the fuel
mileage should be increased by 20%. Of course, since road tests are usually
not under ideal conditions, the actual fuel mileage increase may not be as
high as 20%. However, we are confident that our electric fuel device will
significantly improve the diesel engine efficiency and is applicable to
other internal combustion engines as well."
In other testing, our Elektra technology reduced the viscosity of many
types of oil, including dirty motor oil and soybean oil, by roughly 30%.
Dr. Tao noted, "Currently, manufacturers and processors heat oil to a high
temperature in order to reduce its viscosity. In this way, the heating cost
alone is reduced from $.12 to $.03 for production of one gallon bio-diesel.
In some regions the cost of heating the production in the winter rises so
high that some plants are shut down for 2-4 months a year. In addition to
energy savings, manufacturers also can avoid un-wanted chemical reactions
and corrosion, which can also occur at high temperature." Dr. Tao has
reported considerable interest in the application of this technology by oil
producers who are now funding Temple for proof of concept projects in the
lab and in the field.
Commenting on today's announcement, STWA President and CEO Chuck Blum
stated, "The results of Dr. Tao's studies, along with our similar findings
dealing specifically with the application of uniform electrical fields
(Elektra) to crude oil, gasoline, diesel, ethanol and biodiesel fuel as
well as other industrial processes, hold significant promise and benefit to
consumers, manufacturers and oil producers alike. Save The World Air, Inc.
has been actively engaged in the development of a variety of advanced
applications based on this technology and continues to research products
that may prove to significantly reduce emissions, improve fuel efficiency,
and increase performance."
