Looking at their Facebook postings in December. On the 6th, a new photo with the statement "FSDS load bank test for 10 kW Cyclone powered unit in process."
FSDS is the Danish military contractor who ordered a copy of the 10kW test genset Cyclone delivered to the Army a couple years ago. That was the one that Cyclone refused to give out any actual performance data on. They never even posted a video of it running.
A load bank is a cabinet with big electrical resistors in it. All it does is turn electricity to heat to provide a load for a generator. The tag on this one says "Ready to Rent", so it's a rental unit. $25 million spent, and Harry never bothered to buy a load bank to do real tests on all those WHE, solar and military gensets he kept claiming were running.

Then on the 15th a badly underexposed picture: "Engine for FSDS. Finishing touches, getting ready for delivery !"
Given all the loose wires hanging off it, it looks like it was being assembled for the first time then.
The December 6th photo shows the rental load bank with all the switches turned off and no Cyclone generator. The December 15th photo shows the Cyclone generator being put together and not connected to the load bank. Any bets this generator has never been run?
Yep, Cyclone is "getting ready for delivery", just like they have been getting ready to deliver the Combilift engines for the last two or three years.
Let's suppose the FSDS engineers took 2 weeks for Chrismas holidays. That puts the predicted end of testing at the end of January.
Can't wait for the video of the successful testing.
