Hey Buddy,
I have to admit, I am a bit fuzzy on what they could hope to sell. Seems like the supercritical steam has bit the dust and they never did finance the OSU project to develop the water lubricated bearings. The miracle condenser is nowhere to be seen any more and the likewise patented Cyclone burner has disappeared. With the loss of the boiler we can assume their control system is probably missing and, in all likelihood, an off-the-shelf feed pump is now probably running in place of the custom Cyclone jobs. About all that is left from all those very, very expensive patents is a spider bearing-free radial engine with a vertical shaft. People have been building radials for at least 150 years and they haven't caught on for a reason; the vast majority of applications use horizontally aligned shafts and they have placed a huge barrier on themselves for no reason in that regards.
In this case the language barrier might actually improve understanding. If the Chinese can't figure out what Cyclone is saying they might be forced to look at the "product" and figure things out for themselves; not a good situation for Cyclone.
We'll see. I have to give them their due, they have kept this thing afloat on fantasy and rhetoric far longer than I would have predicted; maybe the lack of solid engineering makes it harder to pin anything on them?
