I figured out why IBES of Dubai can't get their Mark 3 engine working right -- they are relying on Harry Schoell's delusional claims of engine efficiency.

They've been blaming the inability of the engine to make any power on the heat exchanger not working correctly, and have been trying different designs with no success: https://www.ibes-energy.com/news/

The real problem is that the Cyclone engine is far, far less efficient than Schoell claims. His 34+% thermal efficiency claim is pulled right out of the air. It's not based on any real testing or measurements.

Even the last videos of the Marks 1 and 3 engines didn't show any apparatus for measuring efficiency. (Why bother, I guess, when you can barely get the engine to spin under its own power?)

To get the rated output of the Mark 3 engine, IBES needs a far bigger furnace and boiler (heat exhanger) to provide the very large quantity of steam necessary. The little furnace and boiler just can't provide enough.

Of course, a bigger furnace, boiler and greater fuel usage will completely overwhelm the economics of the idea as a consumer product.

Just an example of what happens to anyone who believes anything Harry Schoell or Frankie Fruge say without independently verifying it.
