Even reading from a script Frankie gets it wrong.
The engine is not hooked up to the dynamometer (the "dino meter").
The "17 second" start up was on a fully warmed up system. Watch how long it takes for steam to come out of that drain tube on the ground.
And best of all is that shot of the mechanic having to push start the engine to get it going:
Just before that he worked a lever back and forth and the engine moved a little, but did not start.
Notice those four big black fans on the radiator/condenser. The round white thing is another smaller fan. Given that big overflow bottle is half full of water, they are obviously still having trouble with condensing even for their littlest Mark 1 engine not even connected to the dyno.
The Mark 1 is supposed to produce 5 horsepower, but once you subtract the power used by the feed pump (a pressure washer pump), those five radiator fans, a blower for the boiler air and the compressed air for the fuel feed, I wonder how much, if any, power would be left over. It could very well be taking more power to run the engine than it is capable of producing.
And we see 70 seconds of a shaft turning. Is that a new record for a Cyclone engine video? They all seemed to be around one minute.
