Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc. (fka CYPW)

Nailed it!

Although some grammar quibble: "Production ready in 6 months..." should be "In production in 6 months..."

After all, a family of Cyclone engines has been "market ready" since 2007 and they've been building "pre-production" prototypes for almost as long.

There's more Cyclone BS shaping up on Facebook as I type this. They posted a fuzzy photo of a round burner made by their partner in Alabama, the former algae oil guy who now apparently is a waste plastic oil guy.

Gawd, I almost feel sorry enough for him wasting so much time and money on developing oil burner technology to send him a gift of a $250 Beckett oil burner. Almost, but not really.

Meanwhile the Cyclone responses to comments are more outright fraud. Frankie will send individuals "proof" by email the Cyclone engine is more thermally efficient than gasoline engines. This must be the dyno results Harry had promised to the people on the steam car board but then created a stream of excuses for not doing so. Ironically, the last excuse was the SEC wouldn't let Cyclone publish dyno results so here Cyclone is only giving out this material information to individuals which breaks the SEC's insider trading law.

There is also the claim of 320 hp and 2600 ft-lbs of torque on the dyno at 1 rpm. That was the lie told about the Mark 6, which they never even attempted to make a prototype of. Cyclone's little cheap water brake dyno can't absorb that much power, and will provide a load of about zero ft-lbs at 1 rpm.

I'd love to see a Cyclone engine developing maxium torque at 1 rpm. I'll bet it wouldn't make a full revolution before either the bearings seized or connecting rods broke.

A low-speed high-torque dyno is easy to make. Surplus Center of Nebraska has a hydraulic wheel motor for $219 rated at 20500 in-lbs (1700 ft-lbs) of torque. That's double the rating of the Mark 5 (which is in final testing before shipment to Combilift...) A 5 gallon bucket of oil, couple of hoses, high pressure globe valve to throttle the output, pressure gauge to indicate torque and a stopwatch to measure rpm is all that's necessary.

Pity Harry is allergic to proper test equipment, isn't it?
