About Cyclone
Cyclone holds the U.S. patent, international patent applications, and exclusive commercial rights to the Green Revolution Engine(tm), an environmentally-friendly and highly-efficient external combustion, heat-regenerative engine. Developed Cyclone's President and CEO, Harry Schoell, the Green Revolution Engine(tm) regenerates (or recycles) its heat, which allows it to run cleaner, cooler and more efficiently than traditional internal combustion engines. It is capable of running on any liquid or gaseous fuel, including ethanol and propane, and is lubricated with de-ionized water instead of motor oil. By eliminating many subsystems like oil pumps, radiators, catalytic converters and fuel injectors, Cyclone's Green Revolution Engine(tm) 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, large stand alone generators, to cars, trucks, buses, RV's, boats and ships, as well as earth moving equipment and locomotives.
