Good job starting to clean up the info box Creston.

For the lawn mower, you can mention the November 2007 PR where Cyclone announced the license with Revgine for lawn mower engines.

In June 2008 Harry Schoell claimed in a video (at 4:29) "Everything from lawnmowers... You'll see a lawnmower on the market in about a year, 18 months. It's getting into its final design stages now and go into testing shortly." http://www.engineeringtv.com/video/Cyclone-Waste-Heat-Engine


In April 2010 they said "Lawn Mowers: We have temporarily put on-hold the lawn mower project under our license with Revgine Inc., which was not able to compile the technical team and resources to complete their prototype engine."

The Cyclone lawn mower never appeared on the market. The photo is of a mock-up of an engine concept and not a real engine. No further development of the lawnmower engine was ever announced.

Now, for the much-hyped Popular Science award.

PopSci has a video from 2008 of Harry Schoell describing the engine. http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2008-05/steam-under-hood

What he neglects to mention while pointing at hardware and claiming great performance is that what he points to is a non-functional mock-up of an engine and not a real engine.

In December 2009 they put out a PR "Cyclone Power Technologies Runs Flagship Mark V Engine on Steam" announcing they had run part of an engine on steam for the first time. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aTzAS2gkJZE4

Popular Science issued the Invention of the Year award in May 2008, more than a year and a half before even part of the Cyclone steam engine was run on steam.

July 30, 2009: First two Mark V engines are sold to customer Phoenix Power Group LLC of Tennessee with a quoted delivery time of six months. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1442711/000139843211000685/ex10-8.htm

September 12, 2011: The Combilift corporation in Ireland orders two Mark V engines. The contract specifies the engines will be "Run at Cyclone for a minimum of 50 hours prior to delivery to Combilift". https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1442711/000139843211000847/ex10-15.htm

November 09, 2015: On the Combilift Mark V engines: "The project is in the final process of the 50-hour testing, and we are working toward a 2015 delivery."

A short (58 seconds) video of the Cyclone Mark V engine running on a test stand was published in March, 2010

Another video (65 seconds) was published in February 2015.

The engine is not powering anything in either video.

There has been no known public demonstration of the Mark V engine operating.
