Gee, they reinvented the Terry turbine. Like, WOW! That's about the most abysmally inefficient piece of turbo machinery this side of your rotary garden sprinkler. Cyclone claims that with their magic science it is somehow incredibly efficient despite the fact that the only visual difference is that the average Terry turbine does a better job of guiding the steam. Of course, the Terry turbine is acceptable because it was really meant to be an auxiliary; this means it only used a small portion of the boiler output and the waste exhaust steam could be efficiently used elsewhere in the system. Cyclone claims it's the primary power source and not an auxiliary.

Good Grief. Just what "R&D job" is Harry claiming to have done?

Other than proving there are many, many ways to build a steam engine that doesn't work, that is.

He continues to be immune to the fact that GE actually built a working power plant which runs 24/7 generating electricity at a profit and will do so for decades to come. Meanwhile, Cyclone has never public demonstrated an engine even running, let alone powering anything.

In the last year there have been announcements of 1 megawatt systems, wood fired boiler systems, solar power systems including heat storage and military APU systems, and zero has come of any of them.

And this is after years of claims to investors of market-ready products and engine production starting soon. And of telling investors and the SEC that all the technological problems had been solved more than 5 years ago.

Yep, Harry and Frankie have done quite a "R&D job" on other peoples' money.
