Ecomike, it's well known that piston steam engines tend to be more efficient than steam turbines at relatively low power ratings. Also, piston engines have an advantage over turbines in that the efficiency does not vary much over their power range. The part load efficiency of turbines are generally very low. Hence, the only highly efficient steam turbine that you're going to find will have a very high power rating, will operate at high speeds, and will be operated at a fairly constant load. This is great for stationary power plants, but not for any applications that Cyclone intends to target with their engines.
