KatmasterM....
Up 400% in just over a year in a confused economy. Yup, that sure sucks!!! ROFL
Glad Arnold keeps posting that chart so people can see the growth....
FrazDog
KatmasterM,
Pudding?!?!?! LOL
Steam Pudding!!!! Love it....
FrazDog
These results almost need to go without stating.
Fact is, the combustion in the Cyclone is at a much lower temperature. That alone produces much less of the nasty stuff that an Internal combustion Engine produces.

FrazDog
yep yep.....building pressure I hope!!!!
FrazDog
Whats the Haps??????
In my engineering days we called this a "square wave". How bout some "crow baring" please?!?!?! LOL
FrazDog
Tick,Tick,Tick,Tick,---------BOOM!!!!
Wow, deafening silence this morning.
Gail...
I did see the birds.
Thanx
FrazDog,
Cant p.m. btw
KatmasterM,
Its geek for "rolling on floor laughing"
FrazDog
Gail,
I agree....

Gail...
NM. Thats what happens when you come back from lunch and dont refresh.....
FrazDog
Gail,
Nice birds...LOL
BTW. On my T&S its all red......
FrazDog
letsmakesummoney,
Got your PM.
What happened yesterday was biblical! LOL
FrazDog
p.s. Cant pm.
Volume all gone! lol
So much for that....ROFL
Hope we see the Cyclone second day bump on PR...LOL
The news was pretty good IMO. More bricks and mortar in place.
FrazDog
Buenijo,
So is it feasible for say mine equipment etc?

Hey Graj,
tried to answer you earlier but my blackberry wont let me actually post. Ugh
I agree that once this kind of EPA numbers are possible that it will set the bar for everyone else.
The Government would not make it mandatory. I think it would be more of a gradual thing.
Thoughts?
FrazDog
Wow, who turned the hose off?!?!?!?!?
Any opinion on what this was all about?
FrazDog
Hahahahaha,
Good for you!!!!
FrazDog
Piecemaker,
That is exactly what I was thinking about. Just not sure NOX is the only bad thing from burning diesel.
FrazDog
Peicemaker,
I felt the same way. They just keep rolling along getting better every week. The testing is really significant.
Not positive but I wonder if this means they could use diesel indoors now?!?!?!?!?! I mean in place of propane.
Beuenijo, what do you think?
FrazDog
On a good note. It sure kept things interesting during my sales training meeting today. :)
Small position so didn't loose much. Sorry longs. feel your pain.
FrazDog
Well.....that was fun!?!?!?!?!
Emissions Testing News!!!

NOX Emissions Nearly Zero in Tests of Cyclone Power’s Steam Engine
POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cyclone Power Technologies (Pink Sheets:CYPW) announced results of emission testing performed on its Mark II 18HP engine running on diesel fuel. The tests demonstrated that the company’s award-winning, external combustion technology is dramatically cleaner than current internal combustion diesel engines.
Cyclone’s tests analyzed the nitrogen oxide (NOX) levels emitted by the company’s Mark II pre-production prototype engine running under the load of a dynamometer and burning diesel fuel. These results were then compared to empirical data taken from field tests of thousands of actual diesel engines running both at full throttle and idling.
The company found that today’s diesel engines typically emit between 30 and 80 times more NOX than the Cyclone Engine running the same fuel. The actual results measured in parts per million (PPM) were as follows:
Speed NOX (PPM)
Cyclone Mark II - 16.20
Diesel Engine* Full 1250.00
Idle 500.00
*Bridge Analyzers, Inc., Tech Support Note No. 9: Measuring Emission from Diesel-Fueled Equipment.
The drastic difference in NOX readings between the two types of engines is significant, as the emission of nitrous oxide has come under great scrutiny lately as a greenhouse gas. The proposed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resource Board (CARB) 2010 standards reduce NOX emissions over 80% from the current EPA and CARB 2007 standards. In efforts to meet these new regulations, diesel engine manufacturers are being forced to incorporate exhaust after-treatment which increases both upfront equipment costs, life cycle costs and may reduce overall engine efficiency.
Cyclone Engines, by comparison, do not require any costly, efficiency-draining exhaust after-treatment. One reason for this is the Cyclone Engine burns its fuel at approximately 2,000°F, whereas NOX forms at temperatures above 2,300°F – ranges typical for both diesel and gas-powered internal combustion engines. It is also important to note that the Cyclone Engine does not idle. When no power is required from the engine it shuts off, thus NOX readings at this time – as well as carbon particulate matter and carbon dioxide (CO2) readings – are zero.
“While it is difficult to compare these results with current EPA standards,” stated Frankie Fruge, Cyclone’s COO, “we believe that future mass emission testing of our engines will demonstrate that we can exceed even the most stringent environmental standards without the need for costly exhaust treatment equipment.”
Ms. Fruge continued: “With minor adjustments to our Mark II 18HP generator engine over the following months, we believe that our emissions readings will improve further. The external combustion engine is naturally cleaner than internal combustion engines, and we expect the Cyclone to set the standard for this class.”
The company performed the tests at its Pompano Beach, FL facility using a Bridge Model 9005-03 Gas Analyzer, which uses electro-chemical sensors to measure NOX. This is the only technology certified for use on domestic and international emissions test programs such as California BAR-97 and OIML International.
70:1 buy sell?!?!?!
What????
FrazDog
CTB,
Since I have actually taken the time to personally go to the shows and the shop to see the application running, it does not keep me up nights either. LOL
Just to eliminate further un-fruitful discussion, I did see it running on steam power and not just compressed air.

Military Licensee Advent Power Systems Delivers Final License Fee to Cyclone Power
POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cyclone Power Technologies (Pink Sheets:CYPW) announced today that Advent Power Systems has made its final base payment to Cyclone under its Technology License Agreement. The timely delivery of this license fee secures for Advent the continuing rights to pursue power and motive applications for the Cyclone Engine with the U.S., European and Israeli military establishments, as well as large biomass applications.
As Cyclone’s first licensee, Advent has been active over the past four years in introducing parties like Raytheon Company and British defense supplier MEO Products Ltd. to the Cyclone Engine technology. Currently, Cyclone is developing for Raytheon an engine capable of running on the mono-propellant Moden Fuel, which combusts in the absence of air, making it perfect for undersea and outer-space applications. Working closely with MEO Products, Advent has commissioned Cyclone to build the man-portable 80W Genie Engine for U.S. and British military auxiliary power purposes, such as battery pack recharging in the field. Additional projects and potential clients of Advent have not yet been publicly disclosed, but include multi-billion dollar defense contractors.
“Over time we expect to begin to replace diesel engines and internal combustion engines with the Cyclone, and we believe that the military will be the early adaptors for this technology,” stated Dr. Phillip Myers, founder and CEO of Advent. “A major advantage for the military is Cyclone’s ‘one engine, all fuel solution’ which solves the enormous logistical problem of providing multiple specific grades and types of fuels to forces throughout the world.”
As an external combustion engine, the Cyclone is capable of running on virtually any liquid or gaseous fuel. Other important advantages of the Cyclone Engine include its high fuel efficiency, low emissions, compact size, light weight, and simplicity in design. This last benefit is expected to allow for lower manufacturing costs and higher reliability relative to ever more complicated diesel and IC engines.
Dr. Myers, an experienced corporate executive and high tech entrepreneur, is a former Air Force Engineering Officer with a doctorate from the Harvard Business School. He continued by saying: “We have enjoyed the opportunity to work with the excellent and creative personnel of Cyclone. We look forward to the development of additional Cyclone based products and applications, and the rapid expansion of production and sales.”
“Phil’s expertise and energy to work with the military and defense contractors has provided Cyclone with some major opportunities to commercialize our engine technology,” stated Cyclone’s founder and CEO, Harry Schoell. “We also look forward to continuing this business relationship for years to come.”

Oh, they are Stirlings. I almost got excited there for a second. Nevermind. LOL
FrazDog
Hey Arnold,
Is that system PV? Where is that photo from? Any info on the reflectors? Surface area seems consistant with 10KW per reflector not total. Unless the scale is wrong. Very interesting. Can you link me the site thats on? What is the concentration medium?
FrazDog
Buenijo,
Just a thought. Would you be interested in doing like a weekly or so technical breakdown of the technology that I could put in the iBox? Sorta of like an engineering to laymans terms sort of thing. Let me know what you think.
I think it would be helpfull to the folks that are driving by to see what is going on.
FrazDog
Snowcloud,
I met Mr.Brown at the Orlando Power Gen show.
Very nice guy. He explained some of the stuff they where doing with the solar design. Very interesting.
It all falls in line with the simple elegance that cyclone continues to use.
FrazDog
All,
Piecemaker is in fact NOT located at the Cyclone facility in Florida.
I spent the week with him in Florida. I met him at the airport after his flight landed and saw him off from the airport when we both went home.
This statement is a lie. It is also sad that it is being stated as a fact with absolutely no proof to back it up.
We where both at Cyclone visiting the company.....
As we have stated over and over and over and over and over again, this company is very open, honest, and willing to answer questions. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK!!!!!!!

Canada Approves Patent on Cyclone Power Technologies' Green Engine
Last update: 8:00 a.m. EST March 3, 2009
POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Mar 03, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:CYPW) announced today that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office has issued a notice of allowance for patent protection on the company's environment-friendly external combustion engine.
Canada's approval of the company's patent application marks the sixth major industrialized nation, including the U.S., to issue patent protection on the Cyclone Engine. Recently, China, Russia, Australia and South Africa also issued patent acceptance letters.
"We have received a great deal of interest in manufacturing and marketing our clean, green engines in Canada," stated Frankie Fruge, Cyclone's COO and Director. "With this protection we are in a better position to enter agreements with Canadian groups, which we believe will ultimately generate sales and licensing revenue."
Canada has been making great strides recently in developing renewable energy projects. Ontario, Canada's largest province, passed the Green Energy and Green Economy Act in February aimed at making the region a leader in renewable energy production over the following years. Of high importance in the legislation is the production and use of biomass, a fuel source on which the Cyclone Engine is particularly well adapted to run.
Cyclone received its first patent in the United States on its award-winning, heat regenerative steam engine (#7,080,512) in 2006, and then on the engine's unique centrifugal combustion chamber (#7,407,382) in 2008. The company has applications pending for other components of its engine in the U.S., and for the engine in virtually every industrialized nation.

Again,
Compared to what? To what they have already?
Keep digging dude.
FrazDog
Grajekk,
Wonder who we know that could do that? LOL
I just saw the Aptera on T.V. last night. Pretty cool. I wouldn't wanna get into a crash in one tho.
I wonder if Buenijo can give us his two cents on using Cyclone as an aircraft engine. Especially the Moden fuel with would mean the engine wouldn't loose power at altitude.
Any thoughts Buenijo?
feinanddandy,
I am gonna bet it was at the press from Raytheon. If you remember right he was positive about that one. Rightly so. He is right, we will be seeing some test results and or practical application data from that.
Regards,
FrazDog
So as it goes,
Usually, we get a bounce on the day of press, then another good bounce the day after.
Makes me wonder based on the huge bounce following Yahoo et al. if we will see a bigger 2nd day bounce tomorrow.
Any input?
Regards,
FrazDog
Svatos,
Smiling and watching...... :0)
