Cyclone Fuel Injector

Short video: Harry demonstrates fuel burning without burn chamber cover. This set up is used to show visitors how a typical cyclone SC engine can burn a variety of fuels. This is a video of diesel burning. Algae, propane and other fuels produce the same kind of flame. Harry demonstrates how little pressure is necessary to inject the fuel.
A spark plug (actually a specially designed element) is used to ignite the fuel.

Lawnmower engine running on propane

This is a quick video of CPT lawnmower engine running (without the blade) on propane, controlled by a throttle. Notice the stop stop and go action: the engine stops when the throttle is released, and fires up immediately when pulled. This engine has been licensed to Revgine. Harry is on the throttle and you hear me in BG.


Cyclone Power Facilities Visit

Main Workspace with rearview of luxury yacht under construction. This building started as Schoell Marine, and has evolved into the design studios and workshops of Cyclone Power Technolgies. Frankie is pointing to Harry's first patent: a boat hull strake which all boats now use to improve efficiency.


Machine shop where prototype parts are made for the various engines.

Machine shop with Harry in BG excusing himself to take a call from a Powergen visitor. During my visit (the Friday after the show) the office was swamped with calls. I'm told this past week that there has been a lot of visitors to the workshop to get a better look at the WHE and the Mark V particularly.

Main Workspace with Frankie and Client's Wife in foreground standing in front of the 33O HP Cyclone mounted on a truck chassis. This project is one of many awaiting the Team's finishing touches. The current company focus is on Raytheon and the WHE.
