Sloshing occurs when a fuel tank is partially filled, it is noisy and dangerous. It can throw the vehicle, boat or plane off balance and result in dangerous accidents.

Sloshing occurs when a fuel tank is partially filled, it is noisy and dangerous. It can throw the vehicle, boat or plane off balance and result in dangerous accidents.
THE AXS SOLUTION
Sloshing movement without AXS
Sloshing movement with AXS
We conducted lab and field experiments by dividing a glass tank into two exact chambers, one empty and the other filled with AXS cylinders. We placed the tank on a moving table. After a short-term acceleration.
The AXS chamber that was completely filled with AXS Cylinders showed that AXS can reduce sloshing movement by 80%.RECORDED DEMONSTRATION
Sloshing comparison.
This demonstration compares liquid movement in two test chambers, one without AXS and one containing AXS Cylinders, to show the effect of the internal configuration on sloshing behavior.
