NEWS --
POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Sep 14, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cyclone Power Technologies
(Pink Sheets: CYPW) announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
has approved the company' s second overall patent on its heat-regenerative,
external combustion engine. This latest action marks the seventh patent issued
on Cyclone's engine and its various, unique components.
The Cyclone engine is a modern steam engine, providing substantial improvements
in thermal efficiency, power densities and operating characteristics over what
many people envision when they think of steam engines. One of the most ingenious
innovations of the Cyclone engine, as provided in the latest patent, is that it
contains no motor oil -- it is completely water lubricated.
"The elimination of motor oil as a lubricating agent is simply the most dramatic
and major improvement in the Rankine cycle engine seen in the past sixty years,"
stated steam car expert, James D. Crank. "Without this innovation, the Cyclone
engine would not have surpassed with such dramatic force the efficiencies of
previous steam car power systems." Among his numerous accompli shments, Mr. Crank
designed and constructed the Barber-Nichols car that broke an 80-year-old record
for steam-powered vehicles.
Cyclone engines have been tested to run at over 30% efficiency, exceeding
current gas-powered engines. Higher efficiencies mean better gas mileage and
less emissions. By nature, steam engines are considerably cleaner than current
internal combustion engines, and run on virtually any fuel, including today's
carbon-neutral biofuels. The Cyclone has been tested on over a dozen such
plant-based fuels, none of which require any engine or combustion chamber
modification.
"We are pleased to receive this new patent," stated Cyclone's CEO, Harry
Schoell. "Our team is working hard to complete our engine prototypes to
demonstrate that what we have is a truly revolutionary way to produce power --
for cars, trucks, busses, power generators and more -- in an
environmentally-sustainable manner."
CORPORATE PR OFILE
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
achieve 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
Y ear by the Broward County Environmental Protection Department. For more
