Sensor Sniffs Out Fuel Vapors

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Michael D. Wheeler

Fuel vapors pose a fire hazard to crews aboard military vehicles, especially because they use a middle-distillate fuel that is similar to commercial kerosene. Now researchers at the US Army Research Laboratory have developed a sensing method that uses a laser-mixing technique to perform fuel vapor measurements quickly and accurately. The vapors from the middle-distillate fuel used in military vehicles are a significant fire hazard. Researchers at the US Army Research Laboratory have developed a laser-mixing technique that can detect fuel vapor quickly and cheaply. The Army has...Read full article
