POMPANO BEACH, FL -- 06/13/08 --
Cyclone Power Technologies Inc.
(PINKSHEETS: CYPW) announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office has issued a patent approval letter on the Steam Generator for the
company's revolutionary, external combustion engine.
The steam generator is a critical component of the award-winning,
eco-friendly Cyclone Engine, as it creates thermal efficiencies in the
engine. The innovative design of this component creates a cyclonic
circulation of gases within the engine's combustion chamber, thus promoting
greater heat saturation relative to the amount of fuel burned. It is also
this unique process that gives rise to the engine's "Cyclone" name.
"The heat transfer on this unit appears highly advanced and efficient, more
than any other heat transfer unit I have studied," stated George Nutz, a
technology advisor to the company who has performed rigorous thermal and
stress analysis on the steam generator. "This is very rare for such a small
unit with such high heat input rates." Mr. Nutz has almost 50 years
experience working with external combustion and steam engines, including
working as a staff research engineer at MIT Instrumentation Laboratory,
part of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Added Cyclone CEO Harry Schoell: "We are pleased to receive patent
protection on our steam generator. This is an essential element of our
technology and one of the main reasons why we believe the Cyclone is the
engine of the future."
This patent is the company's second in the U.S., the first being on the
entire heat-regenerative external combustion engine. The company has over
48 patents pending in the U.S. and internationally on the engine and each
of its 12 major components.
CORPORATE PROFILE
Cyclone Power Technologies is the developer and patent holder of the
Cyclone Engine, a highly efficient, environmentally friendly external
combustion engine. Invented by the company's President and CEO, Harry
Schoell, the Cyclone Engine regenerates (or recycles) its heat, which
allows it to run cleaner, cooler and more efficiently than traditional
internal combustion engines. The Cyclone Engine is capable of running on
any liquid or gaseous fuel, including ethanol, bio-diesel and propane, and
is lubricated with de-ionized water instead of motor oil. By eliminating
many subsystems like oil pumps, radiators and catalytic converters, the
Cyclone Engine is expected to cost less to manufacture, operate and
maintain; however, it is highly scalable and sufficiently powerful for
applications ranging from lawn equipment and small home generators to cars,
trucks and locomotives. The Broward County Environmental Protection
Department recently named Cyclone Power Technologies as the Environmental
Business of the Year, and Popular Science magazine recently named the
Cyclone Engine 2008 Invention of the Year.
