US Navy Purchases First Order of MagneGas
MagneGas Demonstration at US Navy Results in MagneGas 2 Cutting 100% Faster Than Acetylene
TAMPA, Fla., May 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MagneGas Corporation ("MagneGas" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MNGA), a technology company that counts among its inventions a patented process that converts liquid waste into a MagneGas Fuel, announced today that following a specific request from the US Navy, it has successfully completed a demonstration and training using its MagneGas2® cutting fuel at a designated US Navy facility. Following an initial demonstration, the US Navy contacted MagneGas and purchased their first order of MagneGas 2. Subsequently MagneGas was invited to perform a two-day “hands-on” demonstration, testing and training session that concluded on May 12th.
In various customer and independent testing, MagneGas2® has repeatedly been lauded for it’s ability to cut faster than acetylene as well as for its overall safety advantages due to its lighter than air characteristics, reduced slag and reduced oxygen consumption. This particular US Navy facility is interested in improving productivity and discussions with them have been on-going for several months regarding how to train their team on MagneGas 2®.
While at the US Navy yard, the MagneGas team performed “head to head” travel speed demonstrations against acetylene and achieved a 100% faster cutting speed on 2” plate using a track torch. The use of MagneGas 2 would therefore dramatically increase the productivity of their cutting operation resulting in a verbally commitment to purchase additional MagneGas. The US Navy yard has already invited MagneGas back to train and demonstrate to the demolition function of this particular yard that is a completely new opportunity.
“We are proud to see solid progress in our penetration of the important armed forces markets through our initial order from the US Navy,” commented Ermanno Santilli CEO of MagneGas Corp. “Providing hands-on testing, training and demonstrations underscores this US Navy facility’s interest in improving productivity. The opportunity to help the US Navy turn ships around faster so that our Armed Forces can protect US interests around the globe makes the whole MagneGas team very proud.”
