I'm here to counter misinformation, such as Cyclone was never promoted as anything other than an inventor tinkering away hoping that maybe one day a working engine might result.
Cyclone promoted themselves as having a family of market-ready engines that were going into production within six months.
Claims were made about remarkable efficiency and exhaust actually cleaner than the air that went into the engine. Claims about fantastic power output measured on a dynamometer.
All made up. And Harry and Frankie knew it.
Of course, if they really were concerned about my credibility, it would be so easy to do something about it. Pull Frankie's custom made speedboat (you know, the one shareholders paid so much money to Schoell Marine to build) out of storage, blow the dust off, throw away the fake engine and put in that sweet-runnin' beast of an engine from the dyno. Then video her doing hot laps around Biscayne Bay for a couple hours and post it to YouTube.
So very easy.
But they won't, because they can't. The Cyclone engine wouldn't move the boat away from the dock before breaking down.
