Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc. (fka CYPW)

Best bet to learn about Cyclone would be to read their press releases. They deleted all the old ones from their website a while ago, but Archive.org has them at https://web.archive.org/web/20150608052837if_/http://www.cyclonepower.com/press.html Start at the bottom and read up.

Make a list of all the predictions they have made, especially of engine production starting. Make another list of the predictions that ever came true. Then look at the current predictions and see if there's a pattern.

The one video with some glowing light bulbs was notable because there was no watt meter to measure the actual power going the the bulbs. A 100 watt incandescent bulb will glow with far less than 100 watts being supplied to it, and without instruments measuring the actual power there is no basis to make any claims about power production.

Also, find out how many different versions of the waste heat engine were announced after the video with the light bulbs. It is the one that Cyclone finally hired Ohio State University to fix, then was spun out with Chris Nelson into a separate company. They spent $6 million, sold one system that they never completed then gave up completely on the Cyclone waste heat engine. They sold their license back to Cyclone.

As for the water brake dynamometer, yes, Cyclone often says a particular engine is "on the dyno". I think they mean by that the engine is literally on a stand above the dynamometer. They have never published any dynamometer results even after publicly announcing they would.

If you find where Cyclone has given a reason why their predictions of engine sales and production have never come true, please let us know. They have never explained just what technical problems have prevented them from delivering working engines to customers.

I also started by asking for accounts of people who had seen Cyclone engines producing power at Cyclone. No one has ever admitted to seeing engine output being measured.
