Fuel Combustion Technologies
(What, why, when, and how we go about it)
At Helpful Technologies, we believe in focusing on one major goal at the time, until we master it so well that it affords us the opportunity to do all other things.
For the past several years, we are focused on empowering transportation through improving fuel combustion,
thus, helping the transportation companies to reduce their fuel expense and harmful effect on environment.
The use of fossil fuels in the transport of goods and people is pervasive in the developed countries of the world. Constant improvements in fuel efficiency and emission controls are critical to maintaining the quality of life and economic growth. Since oil prices started to rapidly rise starting from 2008, the transportation companies around the world experience a significant need to use fuel more effectively.
At the same time, oil is and will remain the most affordable source of energy for transportation for the next 30-50 years. The world “cannot – and will not – quit using the carbon-based fuels for this simple reason: they provide the power that we can crave.” – writes Robert Bryce in his study titled “Power Hungry” or “The myths of “green” energy and the real fuels of the future”. Top fuel consumers, such as rail locomotives, ships, aircraft and large power generators, will remain powered by the oil-based fuel for the next decades.
The internal combustion engine has an average efficiency of between 15%-58% (depending on engine type and use: passenger cars vs. ocean vessels). Improving fuel efficiency is of the absolute essence.
Our scientists and engineers comprise retired best minds of General Motors, Delphi, and space research – people that actually developed batteries, fuel cells, and gaseous fuel injectors, which were used as key components for several products. We also employ young talents, who amplifies that engineering expertise and take it further.
At Helpful Technologies, we believe that reducing carbon footprint on environment must start from improving combustion of fossil fuels – the area which was ignored by engine manufacturers for a century. The environmental benefits will follow as the world decreases pollution by burning less fuel.
Starting from 1995, our founders have dedicated over 15 years to thorough research, which resulted in the technologies improving atomization of fuel injected into combustion chamber. Inherited from the founders, we have developed and patented novel fuel atomization methods that have shown, during intensive testing, to achieve fuel economy of 5% – 12% (depending on the engine type and application), along with the ability to keep emissions of greenhouse gases to the levels compliant with new EPA requirements, and commercial availability of marketable products for the specific engine categories within 12-18 months from the project funding date.
In August 2009, Helpful Technologies Inc. established a new subsidiary, Fuecotech Inc., focused on fuel combustion technologies (hence the name Fuecotech as an acronym for “Fuel Combustion Technologies”). Today, we are partnering with the world’s leading engine manufacturers to bring our amplified atomization technologies to the market, enabling the transportation companies to operate more profitably.
