| Title | Gel-O-Fuel |
| Knowhow is available for | Polymer based gels,that can absorb organic liquids and fuels |
| Summary | A polymer that can absorb organic solvents like methanol, ethanol and form fuel gels:
-Can act as a portable fuel source.
-The gel can be polymerized in situ from the selected monomers and does not require any external gelling agent.
-The level of cross linking and the formation of structural complexes with the organic liquid can be controlled
-Improving the absorption capacity of the gel.
-1gm of this gel can absorb upto 400 gm of fuel
|
| Advantages | -Uses cheaper polymer than the existing gels
-Effective, flexible, compact source of fuel
-No soot, pleasant blue flame
-Higher burning efficiency
