Liquid Slosh in containers 1

[erickxxx]

Hi,
I am an individual inventor working on a system that eliminates liquid slosh in rigid containers. I would like to find out whether there is a demand for slosh elimination at all. All constructive thoughts and opinions are appreciated. Please help!

Thanks

If you can provide an economical solution to the bulk liquid trailer market (highway use) so that unbaffled tanks may still be used without adding much difficulty to the cleaning/sanitizing process (the reason that unbaffled tanks are favored for many commodities) you may have something. Ask any trucker about it. Every hour on the road feels like 2 hours worth of fatigue, and it's rough on the tractor, as well.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

The only other place I can think where some improvement of this type might be useful is water tanks, either for potable water in aircraft (little demand, I would think, as the tanks tend to be relatively small), and water tanks on firefighting aircraft. I have done (engineering/STC) water bomber conversions on two different aircraft, and the tanks were mounted in the fuselage, and had pretty extensive baffle systems.

I currently work with helicopters that have similar systems, some of which even allow for a segregated tank with partial water drop for multiple smaller drops from a single fillup. (lots of one-way valves)
