DragonHeartTM Foundation is pleased to announce, after years of R&D and the production of a test unit, the impending commercialization of the DragonPipeTM. This amazing system represents a remarkable technological breakthrough in the pipeline industry, and will forevermore change the economics and engineering of oil and water pipelines.
Key Features of the DragonPipeTM:
* Does not corrode
* Never leaks
* Self-propelling, requires far less pumping, therefore more efficient to operate
* Costs much less to maintain versus conventional pipelines
* Virtually eliminates internal friction in the pipeline, therefore:
* Allows contents to travel much faster, thus higher volume delivery
* Further reduces operating costs due to less wear and tear, as well as less power generation costs to run the pipeline
* Fewer pumps required for transmission
* Increased ionization of pipeline feedstock, with commensurate benefits to both oil and water industry applications
* Proprietary and patented aspects of this technology protect DragonPipeTM from commercial imitation
The founders of DragonHeartTM Foundation come from a science and engineering background with a special view towards saving money.
Management plans to be in production of the new pipe in the next 6-9 months.
DragonHeartTM Foundation is currently inviting pipeline, pipe manufacturers and foundry companies to review this information for the purpose of becoming strategic partners.
The DragonPipeTM System
The DragonPipeTM creates an in-winding vortex (tornado,) which in turn creates a vacuum between the inside lining of the pipe and the contents it conveys. This virtually eliminates over 90% of the friction of movement, and also creates a internal self-propulsion process. When this self propelling, in-winding vortex is encouraged by a suction pump, it out-performs normal pumps and reduces their numbers considerably.
A proprietary oil-like substance, when applied with heat, binds with the metal and produces several key advantages:
* Provides continuous pipe lubrication, thus further reducing any remaining friction.
* Increases pipeline tensile strength.
* Extra strength helps protect pipe from shock or damage from external impacts, including moderate earth movements.
Additionally, a proprietary technique during the foundry process renders the metal rustproof indefinitely.
As material flows through the DragonPipeTM , it is automatically ionized. This creates the beneficial side effect of killing off unwanted bacteria in the product as it is being transported through the DragonPipeTM .
Safe Oil Pipelines
The in-winding vortex in the DragonPipeTM allows an amazingly low (4%) contact between the pipe walls and the contents under transport, thus virtually eliminating any opportunity for oil leaks or pollution to occur. The rust-proof aspects inherent in the pipe make typical corrosion and resulting metal fatigue virtually impossible. Had such a pipe been available in the Alaskan oil fields, the disastrous shutdown of the Prudhoe Bay oil pipeline would certainly have been unnecessary. (* See footnote below.)
This makes DragonPipeTM an exceptional product highly desirable by the oil pipeline industry.
Another application for DragonHeartTM Technologies is the manufacture and installation of pre-formed plastic liners made from DragonHeart’s proprietary new 3000 psi plastic. These liners are designed to be inserted in old underground oil pipelines, thus eliminating the need for total replacement of the aged pipes. Not only would the cost savings from extending the safe, functional life of the old oil pipelines be dramatic, but the actual volume of barrels of oil per day through the pipelines would increase. The absence of friction in the pipelines with the new DragonHeartTM plastic liners would increase the speed of transport so much, it would more than offset the slight reduction in pipeline diameter from the presence of the new liner. As expressed by a senior Canadian pipeline inspector, the savings generated from the DragonHeartTM technology could "save the industry billions."
The ionization which automatically occurs when materials are transported through a DragonPipeTM system would provide the added benefit of regenerating products like aviation fuel, which break down with bacteria.
* "BP said it found severe corrosion and a small spill at the location's pipeline during a late July [2006] inspection. The company estimates that the shutdown will take a few days and ultimately result in a decrease of 400,000 barrels of oil a day. The company won't say when it expects the pipeline to be repaired, but analysts predict it could take months. The shutdown also raises increasing concerns about the safety record of the world's second-largest publicly traded oil company. BP is facing a criminal investigation following a March oil leak from pipeline corrosion that spilled 270,000 gallons of oil across Alaska."

Water Purification and Transmission
The DragonPipeTM has numerous subsidiary applications as the flow patterns create massive ionization which purifies and energizes water to a super-oxygenated state while in transit. The resulting anti-bacterial impact of the ionization process has incalculable positive repercussions in countless industries. For example, this creates ideal sewage and water pipes, needing only a suction pump at the exit point once the pipe is primed.
