It was concluded that a pneumatic buoy attached to the light tower would be the best solution. Experiments were conducted in the MIT Towing Tank to estimate the performance of such a device.

The dominant mechanism for the end-gas auto-ignition and combustion is identified based on a ratio of the corresponding flame
