In order to effectively use the ignored bamboo forest, a team of Tokushima Industrial Short-term University and Anan Technical College in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan has developed a "bamboo powder engine" that uses ground bamboo powder as fuel. It is said that it will be used in the future. Used in power generation, buses, etc.
According to a report by Kyodo News Agency on May 14, the leader of the team was Miyagi Shiji, president of the Tokushima Industrial Short University. He worked with venture companies processing bamboo to explore how to effectively use the ignored bamboo forest. It is used for engines that have been studied for more than 30 years. He took about 6 years to develop together with the lecturer of Tokushima Industrial University and the professor of Anan Industrial College.
The engine is driven by burning bamboo powder (about 0.1 mm in size). It is reported that the use of fuel only when burning bamboo powder can greatly control the use of fossil fuels. The rotation speed can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the amount of bamboo powder supplied by the valve.
In the future, we will try our best to optimize the particle size and moisture content of bamboo powder and strive for practical use.
According to the team, because the roots of bamboo cannot penetrate deep underground, it is considered to be at risk of geological disasters during heavy rain. Tokushima Prefecture claims that there were approximately 4,000 hectares of bamboo forest in the county as of the end of March 2018. Where they are ignored, countermeasures such as logging are urgently needed.
Miyagi said expectantly: "If it is actually used, it can be a solution to the bamboo forest problem that is ignored in the country. If you can run the Huancho minibus, etc., it may also help regional revitalization."
