POMPANO BEACH, Fla. -- (Business Wire)
Cyclone Power Technologies (Pink Sheets: CYPW) announced today that Allan L. Brown, a renowned engineer, has joined Cyclone’s Waste Heat Engine division on a full-time basis.
Mr. Brown, who has consulted part-time with the company since July, will now be spearheading development of the company’s solar thermal engine system, including building and integrating prototype solar thermal reflective troughs. These proprietary solar energy collectors are designed to deliver sufficient heat to the company’s waste heat engine (WHE) to generate up to 10 kW of electrical output per engine.
“We have received considerable requests lately for solar applications for our engines,” stated Frankie Fruge, Cyclone’s COO. “We need to provide a low-cost, easy assembly solar thermal trough system to maximize the commercial potential of the WHE. I am confident that Brownie can get this done.”
Mr. Brown’s engineering and mechanical experience spans over 56 years, during which time he has developed propulsion, hydraulic, electrical and exhaust systems for some of the best known names in the marine business. Over the years, Mr. Brown has served as Director of Product Development for Cigarette Racing Team; President and CEO of Cougar Marine, which built powerboats that won 12 World and National Championships; Director of Product Development for Stainless Marine; and General Manager of Donzi Marine.
