Hey Creston, the deal there was Cyclone sold the plans for the solar collectors and thermal storage unit to the folks in Mexico and they were to build them.

When they do they will quickly discover Harry's plans are gibberish.

The Cyclone Solar presentation is at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1872jck-mwkGyMjEcU_6gM4X5msvIeKqmPZxfINMQNio/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000

Slides 7 and 8 prove that Harry is just as ignorant about the thermodynamics of solar systems as he is of engine systems.

The temperature of the thermal storage unit is shown as 1150F and 1050F. It is simply impossible for trough collectors of the size shown to reach that temperature.

The low temperature tank is shown at 300F to keep the salt mixture molten. How does one melt the salt in the first place?

Where do you get this "vacuum insulation" that will withstand such temperatures?

What kind of pump do you use to pump molten salt and where do you buy one of this small of a size?

How do you keep the salt from freezing in the pump, pipes and collectors at night? The pump pushes salt into the collectors, and the only way to get the salt out is to pump more in to push it out.

There are some major plants using this technology. One in Arizona has 24,000,000 square feet of collector area and 280 MW capacity. So Harry, not knowing any better, just took the schematic of such a system and scaled it down by a factor of 100,000 for his Mark 1 engine.

Basically, it's the same scam as pulled on Revgine, Great Wall, Topline, Renovila, etc. Sell them the plans to something that Harry dreamed up and never actually tried to build himself. Issue lots of press releases claiming how "ingenious" Harry Schoell is, then sweep it under the carpet as each customer fails and disappears.
