NEWS --
POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Aug 24, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cyclone Power Technologies
(Pink Sheets: CYPW) announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
has issued a Notice of Patent Allowance on the pre-heater coil of the Company's
heat-regenerative external combustion engine.
The patented pre-heater coil serves two important functions for the Cyclone
Engine. First, it absorbs heat from expanding steam at the instant it escapes
from the engine's cylinders to pre-heat the working fluid, de-ionized water,
before entering the combustion chamber. This process increases net cycle thermal
efficiencies and decreases the amount of fuel required to operate the engine.
Secondly, the process acts as a pre-condenser, turning steam back into water
before even entering the condensing unit, allowing the system to cool itself
more efficiently.
"The pre-heater coil is a key component that really separates our
heat-regenerative external combustion engine from steam technology of the past,
and for this reason, it's really an important patent to have issued," stated
Harry Schoell, Cyclone's CEO and inventor of the engine.
The curre nt patent on the Cyclone Engine is its sixth in the United States. The
Company now has patents on each of the major component systems of the engine --
one on its combustion chamber, two on its mechanical operations (comprised of
pistons, valves, bearings and other sub-components), one on the condensing
system, and now one on the unique heat-recuperation processes of the system. The
Company also has an overall patent on the total Cyclone Engine system in the
United States and several other nations throughout the world.
CORPORATE PROFILE
Cyclone Power Technologies is the developer of the award-winning Cyclone Engine
-- an eco-friendly external combustion engine with the power and versatility to
run everything from portable electric generators and garden equipment to cars,
trucks and locomotives. Invented by company founder and CEO Harry Schoell, the
patented Cyclone Engine is a modern day steam engine, ingeniously designed to
achi eve high thermal efficiencies through a compact heat-regenerative process,
and to run on virtually any fuel - including bio-diesels, syngas or solar -
while emitting fewer greenhouse gases and irritating pollutants into the air.
Currently in its late stages of development, the Cyclone Engine was recognized
by Popular Science Magazine as the Invention of the Year for 2008, and was
presented with the Society of Automotive Engineers' AEI Tech Award in 2006 and
2008. Additionally, Cyclone was recently named Environmental Business of the
Year by the Broward County Environmental Protection Department. For more
