Super Fuel Storage Made By The BHU Scientists

Super Fuel Storage made by BHU scientists to give India a new flight into space. BHU has developed the world’s most efficient carbon aerogel hydrogen storage for ISRO. Simply put, the most advanced fuel tank.

But not in the shape of the tank, but in the form of carbon aerogels, which will absorb and store the fuel (liquid hydrogen) used in the rocket.

This technology will increase the speed and power of long-range rockets in space missions manifold. It is claimed that this technology will play an important role in ISRO’s Mars and manned missions.

Professor of BHU (Banaras Hindu University) and Professor Padma Shri awarded. While briefing about this research, ON Srivastava and young scientist Anant Prakash Pandey said that the project was done under the agreement with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The world’s most efficient carbon aerogel has succeeded in making hydrogen storage.

Pro. Srivastava said, this is a catalysed material prepared by Tri Ethyl Emin. Now it will be used for the first time in a cryogenic engine of long range rocket (geo synchronous launch vehicle). He explains that metal tanks have been used so far in fuel storage of cryogenic engines, in which hydrogen is kept in a liquid state.

This increases the weight of the rocket as fuel also stores less. At the same time, cryogenic engines also have the problem of the evaporation of liquid hydrogen, while the carbon stored in the carbon aerogel absorbs the liquid hydrogen and stimulates it as fuel.

BHU has the only Hydrogen Center in the country, which works on research of such national and international importance. At the same time, says Anant Prakash Pandey, the capacity of this storage is one step ahead of the international level.

For the first time in the world, this hydrogen storage has been made from carbon aerogels dried at normal temperature with the help of triethylamine, which is very economical and effective. Earlier this year, Prof. Srivastava and Anant Prakash Pandey submitted a detailed report to ISRO.

This research is published in an international journal. The Super Fuel Storage technology is also likely to be tested for ISRO’s 2021 manned mission. Carbon aerogel is also said to be the lightest substance in the world.

BHU’s Padma Shri Prof. ON Srivastava said that we have succeeded in making hydrogen storage, the world’s most efficient carbon aerogel. This will increase the rocket’s speed and capacity.
