ABOUT ERIC W. COTTELL, THE INVENTOR:

Eric W. Cottell, who resides in Nassau, Bahamas, grew up amid dogs, cats, horses and smells from interesting experiments emanating from his father's laboratory. Acknowledged by many as one of the important inventors of his time, Eric's father, Eric C. "Jock" Cottell, is best known for his important inventions in the area of ultrasonics. Among the senior Cottell's inventions which touch most peoples' lives today are processes for making emulsions used by millions of people across the world in such products as Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, cosmetics and paints.

After Jock Cottell's death, his son Eric decided to push forward with his Dad's process for creating water in oil emulsions for use as a fuel.   Patents issued in the 1970's to Jock Cottell created a big stir worldwide because of the methodology for creating fuel emulsions using water and oil and sometimes, water, oil and pulverized coal. When these emulsions were burned, the results were extraordinary: the water droplets expanded and exploded into steam increasing the efficiency of the boilers where they were installed. An added benefit was fewer polluting waste products.

Eric Cottell had assisted his father in all aspects of the technology including design and fabrication of some of the early "Cottell Reactors" for installation in schools, homes and even an automobile.

In spite of the importance of the Cottell process for making emulsions in a world of shrinking resources and need for cleaner burning fuels, the know-how which had attracted such big names in world commerce as McDonell-Douglas and A.S. Norexim, slipped into dis-use some years ago when it appeared as if the supply of cheap, fossil fuel was plentiful.

With continuing oil and natural gas consumption at record levels in the U.S. and Europe and the additional economic pressures on supply and price from emerging economies like China, the interest and need for new ways of expanding fuel supply and efficiency is once again on the "front burner".

Most of the early Jock Cottell patents have expired, but Eric Cottell has developed new methodology and equipment designs which breathe important new life and new legal protection for his proprietary technology for creation of fuel emulsions.

Process inventor, Eric Cottell, is a Director and Technical Advisor to COTEFCO.
