But Tom, these engines run on sunshine. And rainbows. And the twinkle, twinkle of little stars. Cyclone doesn't need to buy fuel to test their engines.
This whole megawatt solar generator is the most delusional thing Cyclone has ever announced. They've never shown an engine producing its rated power for a minute, even when it was only a 5 hp engine. And suddenly their new series of 1500 hp engines will fulfill that 10 year contract to supply power to a retirement home.
The land speed car only has to run for what, three minutes tops? Originally Harry claimed it would use the stock Mark 5 to prove the engine was capable of its claimed performance, then that changed into an engine without condensing (wonder why?...). He promised to post dyno results then reneged with a series of excuses. That was in 2012 - six years ago now - and the Mark 5 has still not advanced any further.
Perhaps Harry's thinking is that the Mark 5 design didn't work in the 100 hp size, hasn't worked in any smaller output sizes, so why not scale it up to 1500 hp because that's bound to work, right?
That wouldn't be any dumber than any of his other stupid ideas. Speaking of stupid Harry Schoell ideas, here's my favorite from Schoell Marine:
Yes, put a big sail at the front of a powerboat so all it does is slowly drift down wind with the operator's vision completely obscured. Flying blind, as it were. Kind of a recurrent theme in his inventions.
Notice the model has a propeller behind the sail. No doubt that was to make the boat go faster. He must have gotten his inspiration while watching scientific documentaries:
