No insider information, just a lot of history.
The Mark 5 (2007) engine had customers waiting and was going into production but has never been seen running in public. They've never explained why, and haven't talked about it for years.
Same with the Mark 6 (2007), the Lawnmower (2007), the Waste Heat Engine (WHE) (2008), the Genie (2009), the Solar-1 (2009), the S-2 (2011), the Mark 3 (2014), the Mark 1 (2014), and the Mark 7 (2016).
They've promised three 1500 hp Mark 10s will be running by the end of this year and would be installed in running solar power plants next quarter.
This from an outfit that hasn't been able to make a go-kart run around a parking lot powered by a steam engine after spending tens of millions of dollars of other people's money.
The Mark 10 engine will be just as much a failure as every other Cyclone engine, only a much bigger and heavier one.
It's not surprising that Frankie has clammed up and is not filing financial reports. She's got nothing that she can spin into any kind of positive news. That says a lot considering her skills at manipulating the truth.
Like when Topline Automotive was a global automotive manufacturer because they bought a bankrupt factory in Michigan with 20 employees and had an alternator rebuilding company in Argentina, also with 20 employees.
Or that outfit in California who was the market leader in portable generating and lighting equipment but turned out to be running out of a rented mailbox in the Bakersfield CA UPS Store.
Or Revgine who was going to corner the market on lawn mower and weed eater engines, and was also just a rented mailbox in a 7-11 in a small town in New York.
Or their major construction partner who was going to be building megawatt solar power plants and turned out to be a guy operating out of an empty storefront.
Heaven forbid that Frankie Fruge would be forced to tell investors the truth about what's going on inside Cyclone, like she is legally obligated to do. She'd have to explain they've never been able to make an engine that could produce any power without immediately self destructing. Then explain that all those claims and predictions about engines and production starting were just pure fiction to separate investors from their money.
She had recently been lying to people about Cyclone being able to make water lubrication work by using hybrid ceramic-steel ball bearings in the engines. A quick look at the catalogs of bearing manufacturers showed that can't possibly be true, let alone the fact Cyclone has never publicly demonstrated a running engine. But she still tells these falsehoods to the unsuspecting.
Just four weeks now to finish those three 1500 hp engines they promised. Can't wait.
