Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc. (fka CYPW)

They do have time to update Facebook, though:

Cyclone Power Technologies The manufacturing process did not start until Q2 which takes a little time to get into place and this is not an internal combustion engine revised to make steam (iron block and steam never seemed right) it’s an entire new engine to manufacture.

Matt Mason Are you referring to the manufacturer of the WHE?

What engine? What manufacturing?

This looks like a very bad sign to me about Harry's health.

25 years ago I worked for a manufacturing company that got a new VP. He was also a "technology visionary". He decided we needed a "lights out" manufacturing plant, and completely conned top management. He, in fact, taught them to say things like "you've got to think of it as a system" when engineers would point out why pieces of his vision couldn't work. Smart guy.

So he got his millions and the plant was built. All the predicted problems occurred. The CEO realized he had been flimflammed and demand the VP fix the problems. He would gaze out with a thousand-yard-stare at all the workers trying to fix the machines and say "What do you mean? It's all working fine." The sad thing is that he was serious. He had disconnected from reality.

Cyclone Power has been an exercise in stroking Harry Schoell's ego as the "ingenious inventor" and his "one planet, one engine" vision. He was a pretty happy camper getting awards for an engine before one was run, or even built.

I imagine Chuk Williams told Harry his engine was junk and would never work after building a car and waiting years for the engine. Harry's response? Sue Chuk, tell the Bonneville people that Chuk's car was unsafe, slag Chuk in public forums, hire Nelson Hoyos, create a "performance division" and spend $500K for a car that would show up Chuk. Rational?

Now Chris Nelson has disappeared with the WHE product, the Mark 5 still can't be made to work, the last cash customer was Combilift in 2011, they can't raise any more money selling stock, there are no assets anyone will buy, accounts payable are huge and the toxic notes are coming to an end.

Is it any surprise an imaginary customer (Ark Technologies) appears?

Updating the website would mean admitting to himself that the glory days are over. I suspect his mental state won't allow that.

Instead there's a Facebook message about engines in production, and cast iron "never seemed right" for the design. The message was posted at 3:54 am and the grammar makes me think Harry wrote it.

I do hope Frankie will be able to get him the help he needs once CYPW is over.
