U.S. Marines Funds Research Into A Generator That’ll Run On Biofuel As Well As Diesel
October 17, 2011

The U.S. Marine Corps has just awarded a grant of $850,000 to a Wisconsin businessman and an engineering professor to develop a new high efficiency engine that can run on renewable biofuels and biogas, as well as ordinary diesel fuel. The new engine, called K6, is still in the design stage, and the grant will go to building and testing a prototype. If successful, K6 could be up to 30 percent more efficient - and far more quiet - than a conventional diesel engine. The engine also won’t require any modifications when different fuels are used.
