Test report with Yokohama National Univ.

A New Generation Silyl Antifouling Coatings

An even smoother surface than Takata Quantum


proved a remarkable fuel reduction
Professor Kazuo Suzuki from Yokohama National University proved that Takata Quantum X-mile
shows 6% less skin friction resistance than Takata Quantum.
The test was conducted by circulating water through a channel equipment.

Professor Suzuki's comments-


Using Yokohama National University's circulating water channel equipment, a new
product,Takata Quantum X-mile has been tested several times for a certain period
and proved excellent skin friction reduction effect compare to the present product,
Takata Quantum.
Analysing the test data from our experiments and calculating the figures based
on Schlichting's equation, showed an initial friction reduction that reached 6%.

System Design Course of Yokohama National University

In 1929 the Shipbuilding course at Yokohama technology high school was started.
It is now organized as Building Dept. of Yokohama National University.
It includes aerospace course and 100m long water tank testing equipment (the
longest water tank at Japanese universities) for shipbuilding research.
They are simulating actual marine environment and make practical research.
Many leading scientists were educated by Yokohama National University.
