MIPS Project Challenge:
The goal of this MIPS project is to test and validate the effectiveness of Belloso’s Dual- Engine Technology System under several engine modification protocols.
Project Scope:
This MIPS project will focus on confirming prior testing results of Belloso’s technology. MIPS funding will allow the company to perform testing under rigorous U.S. EPA conditions and standards of accuracy. This will include performing baseline (non-modified) testing, modifying a vehicle with the Dual-Engine Technology, and testing the modified vehicle for the final fuel efficiency and acceleration data. Confirmation of the technology’s effectiveness will provide the basis for additional research and development required to commercialize the system.
Results:
In early October, 2017, the functionality and validity of the gasoline measuring protocol was tested at Tawes Motors in Crisfield, Maryland. This testing positively proved the system that will be used to measure gasoline used by the vehicle during testing. Baseline testing of the test vehicle will take place by November 20, 2017.
