Resumen de Gut-twisting tank good for natural gas cars
A fuel tank inspired by the serpentine tubes of the human gut could make cars running on natural gas more attractive to motorists. The space-saving notion, developed by technology firm Otherlab of San Francisco, with funding from the US government's energy research arm, ARPA-E, emulates the way the human body maximizes storage capacity by folding the intestines back and forth. In place of one large, high-pressure tank there are multiple banks of thin, pressurized metal tubes that can be bent and distributed throughout the car, hugging the inside of the wheel arches, roof supports and front wings.
