FOLSOM, Calif., May 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Angel Labs, LLC announced today that it has entered into a three-way arrangement to bring its ultra-efficient 6-inch Massive Yet Tiny (MYT) engine to market powering a 40 kW genset distributed by Industrial Green Power Inc (IGPI) that runs on 100% biodiesel fuel provided by Titan Biodiesel. The agreement represents a multi-year, multi-million dollar opportunity for Angel Labs and culminates many months of efforts seeking strategic partners, and is expected to be the first of many.

IGPI is now taking orders for the MYT-6 genset from its website with delivery within one year. This presently proprietary (awaiting full patent protection) genset comes with a five year or 5,000 hour warranty.
The MYT-6 genset is expected to be much smaller than its competitors, consuming far less fuel, with much lower emissions, and longer life because it has fewer moving parts, and the biodiesel fuel helps keep the engine lubricated. The noise volume is expected to be comparable to a typical law mower.
At an estimated 500 lbs (most of which is the alternator and frame, as the engine itself will weigh only 26 lbs), the MYT-6 genset is much lighter than the 3,000 lb weight that is typical of a conventional 40 kW genset. A variant design of the MYT-6 genset, using a lighter (but more expensive) alternator, could weigh in at 200 lbs, which could be carried by two soldiers. No wonder the military is expected to be an early customer.
A conventional 40 kW genset might burn through 3 to 5 gallons of fuel per hour. In a continuous-running scenario, that would come to around 100 gallons of fuel per day. At the present price of around $4/gallon in the US, that's $400/day in fuel. If the MYT-6 genset uses just half the fuel (it will probably do better than that), this results in a $200/day savings; so just from fuel savings along, the genset return on investment would be 750 days - just over two years. Add to that the benefits of reduced emissions, and thus reduced potential penalties for pollution.
Speaking of fuel, part of IGPI's agreement with Titan Biofuels specifies that the purchase of the MYT-6 genset comes with a 55 gallon drum of 100% biofuel refined by Titan. The customer will be able to purchase fuel through Titan at a rate that is 10 cents cheaper than the heating oil cost at any given time, including the cost of delivery in the U.S. Presently, for example, the heating oil index lists at $3.09/gallon, making the fuel a dollar cheaper than diesel fuel with the additional 10 cent discount. The MYT-6 genset will be optimized to run on Titan's fuel blend, and running it on any other fuel will void the IGPI warranty.
The 100% Titan biodiesel blend is environmentally benign, with no harmful emissions or toxins, so shipping it will not pose the same kind of obstacles as typical diesel. It will not explode or ignite except under the engine type of conditions (pressure), so it is safe that way as well in terms of storage in fuel tanks and collisions scenarios.
