Background

"Engine Guard" is a project whose object is the design and production of a Noninvasive Automatic Electronic System for: Cars, Trucks, and many other types of Vehicles, like agricultural tractors, etc. 

Its function is to continuously monitor and protect internal combustion engines which are cooled by a fluid coolant.

1. Engine Guard will save vehicle owners a lot of money. The owners of cars, vans, trucks, etc. can save between 75% - 85% by avoiding catastrophic failures due to excessively high engine temperatures or engine coolant leaks!

2. Engine Guard will drastically reduce atmospheric pollution from car engines!

3. Pay less for driving licenses and driving taxes by demonstrating to the authorities that your vehicle did not enter busy road areas during the rush-hour time periods!

4. Engine Guard includes a GPS and GSM 2-way communications electronic system and connection to the Internet, opening the possibility of social net and many other net possibilities.

5. The Engine Guard system is very easy to install, and can easily be installed by the vehicle's owner themselves! It takes much less than 1 hour of work to install!

The "Engine Guard" system continuously monitors the engine's temperature, as well as the level of cooling fluid ("the coolant") in the cooling system and warns of problems by giving the driver an audio-visual warning and via the internet and text message, before the problem occur. The system is intended for all engines that are cooled by a cooling fluid ("the coolant").

The EG's green function - will give a warning for unsuitably low engine temperature! The green function will enable vehicle owners to increase the efficiency of their vehicle (low temperature in the engine means high soot buildup in the injectors), in order to extend the lifespan of the engine, and contribute to a greener environment. The Green Function is mostly important in cold countries like Europe, USA, Canada, Russia, Japan, etc.

Research and studies made by EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in the US show that car trips of 8 km have a higher rate of pollution when starting from a “cold start”, e.g., NOx – 30% more, CO - 60% more and VOC – 45% more!

If a failure in the cooling system of the car does not let the car come to the optimal working temperature, the catalytic converter will not work correctly and will NOT filter the toxic and harmful gases which, in this case, will constantly go into the atmosphere.

A suitable Internet Social Network using a GPS (Global Positioning System) and Cellular Net will Monitor the vehicle's position and potentially help the driver get money refunds from the authorities if they do not enter certain metropolitan zones during rush hours! Of course, for reasons of privacy, a driver may disable the GPS tracking function and use it manually as needed!

The Engine Guard product is suitable for cars, trucks, earthwork vehicles, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), agricultural tractors and machinery, and industrial electrical generators greater than 20 KW.

The market

This is a first to market, very unique offering! There is currently no Noninvasive product similar to Engine Guard anywhere in the world!

Main characteristics:

* Automatic operation – the product comes into operation immediately upon starting the vehicle. It then carries out a self-test to make certain the sensors are functioning properly – the temperature sensor and the level of cooling fluid sensor.

* Warning of a fault in the system – warns when a fault has been located during the self-test stage, or during driving time and it’s shown by specific icons with different colors on a color touch screen as well as by an audible alarm in each case. Furthermore, the color screen has also two alphanumeric rows were the fault is indicated to the driver in the Language chosen during the installation of the product.

* Constant monitoring – the temperature and level of cooling fluid in the engine's cooling system are monitored during the whole time of the engine's operation.

In addition, every time the engine starts, The Green Function will examine whether the engine reaches optimal working temperature condition in within 15 - 30 minutes. The Green Function will constantly examine whether the engine temperature is lower than the recommended working temperature. Should the engine work at a colder temperature than that recommended, then the engine consumes more fuel than usual, its wear, soot and tear is greater and the air pollution coming from the engine is much higher.

* Warnings of engine faults using GSM (two way communications) infrastructure and Global Positioning System (GPS) – at any stage during the operation of the engine, should one and/or two of the parameters monitored be found to be deviating from the safe working range, the system will activate an audio-visual and alphanumeric warning to the driver and to predetermined telephone numbers and will report on the type of fault and location of the vehicle through the GSM/ GPS system!

* Keeping a log – the system keeps the time and date as well as the type of fault of the warnings and records it in the system's memory.

* The system will be designed for giving high reliability (min. 10 years MTBF) to avoid giving false warnings.

* Automatic discontinuation – the operation of the "Engine Guard" system is discontinued upon switching-off the engine.

* Easy installation – the electronics control and display unit communicates in 2-way com with the sensor unit via the +/- power cables of the vehicle. The units are installed by securing them mechanically in their place and then connecting them to the +/- power cables, that’s all that it’s needed!

The Company and its owner

The owner and promoter of the Venture, Dr. Gordon, has a bachelor's degree and a Ph.D. in physics from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, and a Master's degree in electrical and electronic engineering from the Tel Aviv University. He has more than 30 years of experience in research and industry, both in universities in Israel and abroad, including the University of Southern Denmark, in the city of Odense, and Tokyo University, Japan.

In the field of industry, Dr. Jaime Gordon is an expert in managing projects in the development of electronic systems for the aviation market and for the commercial market and quality assurance in the Engineering Department of Elbit Computers Haifa, in the Israel Aircraft Industries and additional clients.

Dr. Gordon is the owner of El-Sol Technologies Ltd., whose main operation in the field of micro analysis, Electron Microscopy and materials testing.

In addition, Dr. Gordon is a lecturer at the College of Engineering in Jerusalem, and teaches a course on the subject of "Vacuum Technology, Gas Flow and Plasma" for engineering students in the Advance Materials Department.

The Engine Guard project will help vehicle owners to save the money they have invested in their cars, trucks and to avoid expensive engine repairs. The Green Function will improve the lowering of atmospheric pollution due to engine exhausts. Also, the internet automatic communications will improve to save human life when accidents occur. 

Dear contributor and funder, your contribution will help to finish the design and the start of manufacturing of the Engine Guard product, start sales and introduce the product into the worldwide markets.

We need 200,000.- USD to make the first series of units of this product and pay the engineers, technicians and art designers, etc.


Please contact me if you have any questions I will be glad to answer.

I am grateful and thank you in advance for your kind support.

I will keep you informed on the advancement of the Engine Guard Project.

Kind regards, Jaime Gordon /Ph.D. Physics
