Pulstar and E-Fuel Announce Pulse Plugs for Ethanol

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Ignition products company ENERPULSE, Inc. announced that their proprietary Pulstar(R)  pulse plugs have been adopted by E-Fuel of Los Gatos, California. The Pulstar plugs are for use in equipment using fuel produced by the E-Fuel proprietary MicroFueler, a household appliance-sized unit that creates ethanol fuel (E-Fuel100) from organic waste and is revolutionizing the green fuel industry.

The initial phase of the Pulstar utilization will be inclusion on the E-Fuel Grid Buster as factory equipment. Grid Buster is a generator specifically designed to operate on E100. The combination of the MicroFueler, Grid Buster and Pulstar plugs has a value proposition of creating electricity for $.02/kW.h.  

E-Fuel has delivered the solution to the non-competitive nature of using ethanol as a primary fuel for transportation needs. By producing and utilizing the ethanol at the source of the feed stocks, transportation is eliminated bringing the cost of the fuel well below that of commercially produced ethanol. An adder to the cost reduction is the ability of the MicroFueler to process waste and cellulosic feedstock eliminating the need to use corn as the singular feed stock as is currently employed.

Tom Quinn, founder of E-Fuel, states that the incredible ignition power (1,000,000 Watts) delivered by the Pulstar plus is a key ingredient to efficient ethanol combustion. As an example he cites the company-owned 2008 GM Silverado that returned mpg figures for gasoline after installing the Pulstar plugs and using their own E100 ethanol fuel - quite impressive.

Louis Camilli, President of ENERPULSE, states, "This is a very unique opportunity for our company to display the green side of the Pulstar technology. With the ultra-high peak power of the Pulstar spark discharge, ethanol as a primary fuel becomes a reality."

E-Fuel is a private company founded in 2007 whose mission is to provide consumers a superior fuel product to gasoline that's environmentally friendly, inexpensive, and accessible to everyone. For more information, visit http://www.microfueler.com/ or contact Bruce Padula at [email protected].
