When I started watching this company I knew it would take patience.
I'm quite pleased with their progress. I like their progress with their multi million $ contract with the Army. According to your posts from years ago they were supposed to go under a long time ago. What happened with that?
Very exciting!!
Its clear as day what this article is saying. I'm not exactly sure how you could perceive this as you have interpreted it.
Its quite evident that Cyclone chose to withdraw this offering. After reassessing their financing, they may choose to do business with them again. They'll do so under regulations that the SEC has now imposed on them.
From Harry:
We are progressing rapidly, Of course it is sponsors that make things happen faster. The suspension system has been installed on the front end. As you might imagine it took some R and D to make it right. The front suspension has wheels in line and are an independent system. The rear suspension has to be right and looks very good. It has to be in the right balance to the thrust line or the car will jump up and down during the run. The previous car took several years whereas this new more sophisticated design has been in the works for four months ,starting the chassis June first. The body is finished, the belly pan is finished except for minor details. The chassis is built. The engine has gone through steam runs. The heat exchanger has gone through firing rates and has the best flame travel we have achieved as it travels tightly around the tube nest. The new high pressure pump with the PRV built in is completed. These parts are all coming together and the car should be close to rolling by the end of the month, barring any unforeseen. We still have the same goal of the record before the end of the year. Nelson is doing an excellent job of putting this together and I feel you will be impressed with the professionalism of the project. We have bigger goals than just the record, bringing steam power to the forefront with a modern usable system than can be marketable, not and ego builder but a job builder. More pictures will be put up shortly as this reporting is always a little behind what is going on.

You stated in one of your first posts that you live down the street from CYPW. Why don't you do your own DD and find our for yourself?
Harry has personally invited investors to come down to the shop.
Let us know what you find out: videos, pics, etc. I look forward to it
Excellent video!! So exciting to watch the progress!
A post by Harry from a few days ago:
Hi Heavy, As you can see we have big ambitions. The more we ran the MK 5 engine on the dyno the more we learned. It is necessary to do this and get the run of the engine as close to the course run as possible. Too long a cutoff and you will use to much steam too short and not enough torque. When we removed the engine from the dyno last it had more than enough hp to easly beat the record. It had a fuel burn rate of less than 8 gal per hr. Since Nelson came aboard and he has had enough high speed experance to up the anty. Our final real ambition is 250mph with this engine,but we will settle for 200mph for now. A larger MK6 engine will be the up grade to run in the 300 mph range. at the present we have increased the heat exchanger and will have the ability to burn twenty gal per hr. Things are progressing rapidly and we pulled the foward section of the body mold from the pattern. The gearboxis being modified to have a neutral so as to have a better push start then engauge at aroung 80mph. This is a radio interview that Nelson and I did Friday night This is a fun project with an engine that has a very good chance of being in your car some day. Join in. Harry

In my opinion, this stock will be worth a penny next week... lol
From BIOMASS Magazine:
French agriculture official visits Pa. gasification company
By Luke Geiver | June 25, 2012
A gasification technology designed by Mechanicsburg, Pa-based Enginuity Energy may be headed to France after a recent visit by two French agriculture officials to the company’s headquarters. “We were pleasantly surprised by the beneficial impacts of the Ecoremedy technology,” said Christophe Malvezin, an agricultural counselor from France who joined Catherine Rogy, deputy agricultural counselor on the visit to witness Enginuity Energy’s technology used to convert poultry litter and other waste products to renewable power.
“We were unaware that this technology exists today,” according to Malvezin, adding that such technology “seems to be a good fit with France’s agricultural and energy strategy.” The technology uses advanced conveyor systems, an automated touchscreen control interface and a four-stage gasification process. Since 2008, an Ecoremedy pilot plant has been in operation at a Tyson Foods Georgia facility where the gasification technology was used to convert over 500 tons of poultry litter to 110 pounds per square inch (psig) process steam.
Dave Heck, vice president of operations and global business development, said the company isn’t letting the international interest in the technology stop after the visit from French agriculture officials. “We are planning to make a trip to a couple of the EU targeted countries,” he said. In addition to company-based research focused at targeting potential suitor countries that could benefit from the poultry litter conversion technology, Heck said the Center for Trade Development of the Office of International Business Development for the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development, played a large role in setting up the visit as well as organizing a trip to Europe.
Although Heck said the visit will help the company grow and expand in the next year, he also implied that the growth trajectory for the gasification system supplier is already underway. The company has already partnered with Cyclone Power Technologies, an external combustion engine supplier, to build a small-scale modular unit. The company is also in talks to form partnerships in Australia, Northern Ireland, Maryland, West Virginia and other regions in the U.S. “The next year is going to be an unbelievable year for us.” Based on the technology’s fuel tolerant technology, he added, the company believes it has the opportunity to shift the way people view waste produced in agricultural settings.
I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like as investors, we DESERVE a daily recap on how PROGRESS is GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS TO NOT GET A DAILY NEWSLETTER ON HOW PROGRESS IS GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU AND I BOTH NEED TO KNOW DAILY PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF NOT DAILY we need MONTHLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know, right??? We need to contact Global Emerging Markets and let that we think Cyclone has bad management!!! These companies don't know what we know!! We've run large corporations like a burger king restaurant!
I just wish Cyclone would at least listen to our advice on here .. or at least respond! I don't understand why they won't respond to our advice on here? ?
OH NO!!
We better tell the Global Emerging Market investment group that they've made a mistake! CYCLONE has bad management and they need to listen to our advice!!!
GOSH!! Our advice is so good, and this investment group needs our advice that Cyclone has bad management!
How do you think they've fooled them into investing a $0.25 million in Cyclone. THIS MUST BE A MISTAKE!!!!!!!
AGREED!!!
(in a passionate shouting voice)
I consider myself to an intelligent investor and if for some reason I don't agree with management then I sell my position; especially if I've been complaining about lack of progress for years.
LOL
So why did the military just invest $1.4 million in CYPW's energy generation technologies?
Thanks for sharing your amazing story about your generator!
I too have a generator that I recently had to use because of wind storms knocking out my power. With my air conditioner out, we had to keep the windows and doors open; while the generator provided electricity to my fridge and other small necessities (TV, computer, etc). Well guess what, soon the house reeked of nasty gasoline exhaust. At that time, I was wishing for a CYPW generator that produces little to no exhaust and able to run on any type of fuel.
Your claim that Cyclone doesn't have a valuable product is absolutely ridiculous.
The fact that CYPW is so close to increased revenues, IT WILL NOT GET WORSE. Buy in while you can!
lol
Luckily for an engine there are quite a few CRITICAL parts that can be patented.
I could have sworn that recently you stated that patents were worthless.
Lol
yeah, lets talk about the lawn equipment again for the 15th time (yes I'm counting)
AS YOU KNOW, they announced that their resources were more valuable going towards producing engines that sold for $200,000 an engine (Raytheon) versus $200 an engine (Revgine). Raytheon has also been providing other types of support to help with Cyclone's path (like independently verifying Cyclone's technology). What's so hard to understand about this? I'm pretty sure going with Raytheon versus going with another STARTUP company was a MUCH BETTER CHOICE. Revgine ended up going under anways!
What is so complicated in understanding this issue?
Why don't you ask Chuk that question? Chuk supplied the chasis and Cyclone was providing the engine. Obviously if they plan to run the car in August, there's no problem with the engine.
Please provide facts in relation to your generalized judgments. Otherwise I can not consider responding to any of your posts
Its a great day to be an investor! They provided raytheon with their FIRST set of engines for an area of the military that is poised to sky ocket. They just tapped into another huge market in Australia. They are set to start receiving over a million dollars in funds from the army. They are set to do a trial run on the Mark V engine with a PROFESSIONAL race car driver and builder. This time the chasis will actually fit Cyclone's needs and be ELIGIBLE to attempt the record. This attempt will put Cyclone in the spotlight around the same time the Mark V engine is set to go into production. This run WILL give them the needed attention from the public, car companies and the government. Otherwise Cyclone will continue knocking on the door of huge potential without a response. We need the publicity of a WORLD RECORD.
Nowinvest as an investor, help remind me of their other progress because I KNOW and purposely have left out quite a few. I'd like you to remind me.
Judging how many people traded shares as a measure of progress is a very poor measure.
There are actually quite a few reasons to believe. They have made unbelievable progress in the last two years. I can't wait to see the LSR car in action this summer!
Why don't you go ahead and tell us how much you think the patents are worth, since you have preconceived notion that they are up for sale.
**We only stated that they were valuable. Indirectly, this relationship could provide substantial revenue. Billions? Maybe...
Thats what I've heard. I heard that quite a few market manipulators have been targeting Cyclone success for many years. They hope to target future investors from buying stock.
Unfortunately, I heard that they have been getting very frustrated with CYPW's continued success despite their 24/7 efforts to devalue this stock.
In the long run, their efforts will be wasted.
DISCLAIMER: none of Investorhub is involved with the MM.
dotell is correct
lol right. Harry and these guys are all tinkerers. I love your sense of humor!
I hope you're attempting to be humorous.

Cyclone Power EC engine in a Chevy Volt would make a fine mix
By Frank Sherosky on Thu, 05/31/2012 - 12:21
Auto Sector Stocks
News Opinion
Imagine a Chevy Volt generator engine that burns any fuel, and so thorough that it nets little to no pollution. Shouldn't these two companies, GM and Cyclone Power, be talking?
Cyclone Power engine on left; Volt technology display on right
That concept of a Chevy Volt with an external combustion generator motor has been a scenario in my mind ever since I came across the external combustion steam engine technology of Cyclone Power Technologies (OTCBB: CYPWR). What’s more, the scenario is feasible because the transfer medium is steam.
Right now, General Motors (NYSE: GM) is touting the Chevy Volt as an electric car with a range extender motor. True, that motor runs on gasoline, but it doesn’t have to.
Think about it. While a generator engine merely has to operate at its most efficient speed so as to burn fuel efficiently, the choice of technology can add or detract from its image. It is, after all, merely a power component to drive a generator which recharges the battery pack.
GM already has its generator motor operation at an ideal RPM rate. However, its choice of internal combustion engine is still not as efficient as it could be. Change fuel to natural gas? Sure, but when? GM seems to be basking still in its halo mode for the Volt, while there is much more to accomplish with an already high-tech propulsion system.
Now, I’m quite sure that GM engineering and management staffs are likely counting on so-called “other” efficient engines for the Volt’s future. Then again, a halo car can go years without a major update. While the HCCI engine comes to mind, so does the Scuderi or Tour split-cycle engine technologies. They, however, may be better applied to directly drive a car than a generator; but surely not out of the running.
One quick way to make the Volt greener would be to make it bi-fuel so as to avail access to cheaper and more abundant natural gas. No mention, though, of GM even thinking along this line; which is why someone like me has to bring it up. Pity. Where is GM marketing these days? Playing with social media while missing the core of the message as usual.
Now, for those who may be unaware, Raytheon has already given Cyclone Power a great endorsement by stating their technology is “a game changer.” If it can work for military applications, surely an automobile would make even greater sense, especially considering use of multi-fuels and thorough burning so as to minimize pollution.
Now consider the fact that this engine is external combustion, not internal, much like a locomotive; fuel burns without explosion. The heat is then transferred to a closed-loop steam system which powers pistons and drives via an output shaft. Think - very little to no noise.
This is one reason why I’m anxiously awaiting that attempt at the land speed record at Bonneville for the Cyclone Power modified Speed Demon racer. It will bring about an exposure of the technology that could be directly be applied to transportation; meaning automobiles, trucks and busses.
Already, Cyclone Power is using its waste heat engine technology for fixed generator applications. Success there is already in the books. The power output, though, can be applied to just about anything.
For the record, I do own shares in this stock for my long-term IRA, because I believe in the technology; I see its potential. Even if automobile industry turned it down, the generator business is huge. However, with the advent of more range extender engines, I believe this technology needs to have its day in court, so to speak.
Why target the Volt? Well, it needs to get better mileage on trips anyway, when the battery needs a charge. Yes, the Chevy Volt could have it all: electric propulsion, efficient on-board recharging, quiet and thorough combustion so as to at least get a greener label.
Do you think GM is listening or even considering such ideas? Considering the cost of the Volt, I would think even the generator engine would be super efficient.
Interesting post. Please support your claims.
This is new (very cool addition :)):
GO Cyclone!

UUV Versatility at UDT 2012
03/05/2012
Recent times have seen Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) achieving recognition as a key contributor to littoral operations and a significant enabler for network-centric warfare, an advance on their previous role as targets for anti-submarine training or decoys. This change is reflected in the papers on UUVs that are being presented at UDT 2012, the annual conference for the international undersea defence community, which takes place at IFA International Exhibition Centre, Alicante, Spain from 29 to 31 May 2012.
Budgetary restraints, manpower downsizing and the shift in naval operations from blue-water to the littorals has also motivated navies and industry around the world to engage in the development of UUV technology, making it one of the most promising business streams for defence companies.
There are significant benefits to be derived from using portable unmanned mission systems to support mine countermeasures, including improved effectiveness, reduced risk to personnel and cost reductions. David Berry of Atlas Elektronik will present a paper on how the company’s Containerised Integrated Mine Countermeasures System (C-IMCMS) mission module has successfully demonstrated that deploying this technology for unmanned mine countermeasures is a reality today.
Paul Esparon of BAE Systems will present on ‘Investigating the legal barriers to operating over-the-horizon unmanned assets for Mine Countermeasure (MCM) missions’. The vessels of the future will be required to conduct MCM operations from greater distances than is currently practised and deploy unmanned assets that can operate over-the-horizon. Such an approach leads to a number of legal implications, often driven by safety regulations, which must be resolved for the application of this future methodology to be successful.
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and associated undersea technologies have demonstrated exceptional utility and great growth potential for military, governmental and commercial maritime agencies as well as for ocean research institutions. Although unmanned systems in other domains have experienced rapid growth resulting from wartime necessities, there remains a prevalent “wait and see” mind-set about unmanned undersea systems among those who work in and depend on the oceans. Dr. Rand LeBouvier from Bluefin Robotics Corporation will present on the benefits of deploying multiple unmanned systems worldwide that connect via an overarching data network and provide persistent presence and access to information for a wide audience of users. His paper offers a practical and cost-effective approach to creating such a network.
Sea mines still provide a threat to both surface ships and submarines. Whilst many technologies are available to clear mines, from a surface ship, there has been little progress on the submarine aspect as a result of inherent difficulties. Daniel Pettitt of Babcock will describe how incorporating UUV and ROV launch and recovery systems – in conjunction with detection - onboard a submarine could enable mine hunting and countermeasure operations to take place along with other key roles such as communications and inspection.
Cyclone tests underwater drone engine
Published: Feb. 17, 2011 at 12:54 PM

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Performance tests of a heat-regenerative external combustion engine for underwater power have been completed by Cyclone Power Technologies of Florida.
The Third Phase tests were performed for Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems.
The company said the tests showed that Cyclone's prototype, water-cooled "Stingray" engine achieved thermal efficiencies of more than 30 percent. When applied to a large-diameter unmanned undersea vehicle, such efficiency yields double current payload capacities and triple the current mission times, it said.
"Given these results, we are on track to provide Raytheon's customers the energy and power sources for the enduring UUV's and persistent undersea operations required to meet emerging threats in the defense of our country," said Jim Moden, developer of the monopropellant utilized for this application. "When completed, this system will provide mission enhancing virtues such as improved safety, lower environmental impact, lower cost of ownership and higher energy and power density when compared to present advanced state-of-the-art battery systems."
The demonstration was in fulfillment of an Independent Research and Development contract from Raytheon, which with James R Moden Inc. are developing an undersea power and propulsion system prototype.

Electronic "equipement" is a quite different from an engine. We may as well compare apples to bananas.
This is a Research and Development that is close to the production era.
