Message:	I found this article at autospeed.com and thought you might be interested in reading it: 'NanoFluids!' - Improving the performance of engine coolant by up to 40 per cent. It's such a simple idea that it'll take just moments to wonder why it hasn't been done before. Consider the function of coolant in a car - it transfers the heat from the engine to the radiator, where it's dissipated to the air. But think how much better that coolant would work if it was full of tiny suspended particles of a conductor like copper. Suddenly you've got not only more heat transfer ability but also better heat conductivity... And it needn't apply just to coolant. One of the functions of lubricating oils is to transfer heat away from hot surfaces - and tiny suspended particles can work to improve the performance of oil as well.
