• Design and development of Laser Ignition Engine using Compressed Natural Gas-air mixtures and
  its operation at IIT Kanpur. This has been demonstrated at very few places in the world.
• An Electronic Fuel Injection System for a 4-stroke Locomotive Diesel Engine of Indian Railways:
  An electronic fuel injection system for a 4-stroke, 16 cylinders, V-configuration, medium speed,
  large bore locomotive diesel engine was developed and successfully retrofitted on a rebuilt diesel
  locomotive by Engine Research Laboratory, IIT Kanpur and Engine Development Directorate,
  RDSO, Lucknow. A savings of 4% fuel consumption over the duty cycle was obtained. In addition
  there was an appreciable reduction in the smoke emissions during steady-state as well as transient
  operations.
• Indian patent filed for Integrated system for Using Straight Vegetable Oils as Fuels for Diesel
  Engines: This design enables utilization of waste exhaust heat to precondition the vegetable oil
  by raising its temperature to a level, where the physical properties of vegetable oil come within
  a very narrow band of that of petroleum diesel fuel at room temperature. This system enables
  effective utilization of straight vegetable oils without the problems such as injector coking, poor
  atomization, ring sticking and cylinder deposits.
