Maybe not economically justified, but it does make sense someone would pay to get out of Cyclone.
Imagine every time you look at your account, there it is, CYPW that you lost more than 99.9% on reminding you that you trusted Harry Schoell's claims of having a working steam engine.
A constant reminder of all those times Cyclone raised your hopes with claims of production soon starting, engines in final testing, new contracts with customers, partners going to develop engines for new markets, and a car and boat that were going to set world records.
$5 to close up that nightmare? A bargain.
I'm still waiting on those test results they promised in December. Just like Harry, though. Promise great things then clam up when his "in-genius" hardware doesn't work and try to distract people with the next promise of great things.
There is potentially a business making steam engines. It won't be the "One world, one engine" fantasy, but there are probably enough people wanting to live off-grid to make a mom and pop company work. Cyclone will never be this company, though, because Harry will never make a working engine.
Ohio State University proved neither the "spider bearing" nor water lubrication can be made to work, but Harry continues to build engines relying on both. Meanwhile, without a working engine and without a hope of ever having a working engine, Frankie keeps churning out dreams of partnerships, defense contracts and solar systems as if they could ever happen.
Once the Cyclone Kool-Aid wears off, $5 to get out is cheap.
