The key difference is, however, that Uber and Tesla have real products. Cyclone has only ever had bragging about what they were going to do in the future.
You can download the Uber app and get a ride in the next hour. You can buy a Tesla car that comes with a 4 year factory warranty, and 8 years on the battery. Tesla has more than 20,000 charging stations scattered around.
And Cyclone?
Their website is four or five years out of date.
They are three years behind in SEC filings and the stock is going to be deregistered at any minute.
They had a bunch of fake display engines that they used to tell people worked great. Word is that when they closed their shop last year all these went into a dumpster.
They have a powerboat with a fake engine that was supposed to set speed records starting in 2011. It's never been in the water.
They have a custom built race car that was supposed to set speed records starting in 2012. They even rented the Space Shuttle runway at Kennedy Space Center at one time to test the car. Like the boat it's never moved one foot under the power of a Cyclone engine.
There's never been a public demonstration of a running Cyclone engine. As Tom says, try to buy one. Offer cash. See what kind of runaround you get.
CYPW has been going since 2007, and the one constant is they have always been claiming engines would go into mass production within six months. Fourteen years later and they don't have so much as a go-kart that has ever run under the power of a Cyclone engine.
The two con-artists in charge, Harry and Frankie, are each now about 80 years old. Clearly they're tired of this con and are taking it easy on some of the $25 million of investors' cash that disappeared without a trace into Schoell Marine.
They are old, and so is their story. Other than some rare comments on Facebook repeating the same old lies, what have they done in the last two years?
