Oh Man, is that ever funny! "Further, they are developing an engine and give it a chance to see if it works"

After a decade of claiming having working engines, selling licenses for other companies to produce these working engines, claiming in filings that the engines were "production ready" and even telling shareholders in 2011 that all the technological problems have been "overcome", shareholders, whose wealth has decreased by more than $55 million in total, are now told they need to give Cyclone a chance to see if the engine even works!

And still not even a single honest word about what the real problems with the engines are. Although, to be fair, Harry Schoell has no clue about why the engines don't work so couldn't give a sensible answer even if he was forced to.

I'm curious about how well the Mark 5 actually worked in 2012. That's the year Cyclone spent hundreds of thousands to have that yellow car built while Harry was on the steam car board bragging about the Mark 5 being "a beast" and producing so much power on the dyno. And those predictions of the speed records they were going to set... Let's look again: https://archive.org/stream/Racecar_Engineering_2013_02#page/n19/mode/2up

Team Steam driver Nelson Hoyos hopes that he will be the man to take the steam driven land speed record from the British, who claimed it in 2009, back to the USA with a 200 mph run, and intends to extend that to 400 mph by the end of 2013.

The engine creates 200 bhp, which is not a great deal, but it generates 1100 ft/lbs of torque.

The team has another engine in the workshop, an increase in capacity to to 3-litres, produces 2650 ft/lbs of torque and can take the car beyond 400mph.

"The powerplant has tremendous efficiencies because multi-fuel capabilities, and the reason they have high efficiency is that they can operate at high temperatures" says its inventor, Harry Schoell

"The LSR is to prove that we have a viable product. People have to see it. We have generators running, but to see something like this has excitement to it. We also have a boat we are going to run to show the viability of the product."

Yep, they had a Mark 5 producing 200 hp and 1100 lb/ft of torque, while back at the shop there was a Mark 6 that produced 2650 lb/ft of torque. They run with "tremendous efficiencies" says Harry. And they have all those "generators running".

That was at the beginning of 2013. They were going to set a record of 400 mph by the end of 2013. Plus Frankie was going to set a record in her boat.

Here we are at the end of 2016, and the speed record for anything powered by Cyclone engine is still 0 mph. Cyclone has never released any real test data of actual measured engine performance, and no one has ever witnessed a Cyclone engine powering anything.

And to top it off, Cyclone's total business plan is now to see if they can make an engine even work!

Funny, Harry and Frankie never admitted that little material fact as they were taking people's money with fake claims of performance and promises they knew could never be kept.
