POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Massachusetts Institute of Technology's onlinepublication [ Technology Review.com ] has featured a story on [ Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. ] (Pink Sheets: CYPW) and its heat-regenerative, external combustion engine.

"We welcome discussion of steam engines alongside today's top performing internal combustion engines, as well as batteries and fuel cell technologies of the distant future"

The posting by Technology Review's energy editor, entitled Return of the Steam Engine?, discusses the renewed development in [ advanced steam technology ], and how these all-fuel, clean burning engines – specifically Cyclone's – could one day replace the internal combustion engine.

Cyclone's patented external combustion engine is heat-regenerative, capturing lost energy and feeding it back into the engine (a process known as a Schoell Cycle). It is also water lubricated, allowing it to run on higher operating temperatures. The result of these processes is thermal efficiencies well over 30%, all in a compact package capable of being placed into automotive or stationary power generation applications. Equally important, the Cyclone is able to run on virtually any fuel, including liquid biofuels and solid biomass, and combusts these fuels at atmospheric pressures which avoids the creation of NOX emissions.

"We welcome discussion of steam engines alongside today's top performing internal combustion engines, as well as batteries and fuel cell technologies of the distant future," stated Harry Schoell, CEO of Cyclone. "We have made substantial progress in just a few years on our external combustion engine, and it is time that serious players in the automotive and power generation industries revisit this clean, capable and proven technology."

MIT's Technology Review is the oldest technology magazine in the world, established in 1899, and states on its website that it aims to promote the understanding of emerging technologies and analyze their commercial, social and political impacts.
