POMPANO BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - Aug 30, 2012) -  [ Cyclone Power Technologies ] (OTCQB: [ CYPW ]) released this statement from the work bench at its shop:

"I'm a 7-year-old American and do not have a political agenda. In the heat of the campaign trail and in response to Gov. Romney's statement that President Obama's position on fuel economy standards was 'extreme,' the President said: 'Maybe the steam engine is more his speed.'

"I'm very proud to say that I'm a Modern Steam Engine developed by Cyclone Power Technologies, a small U.S. business. I am powerful, clean, fully fuel-flexible and efficient enough to beat today's CAFE standards. I'm currently being adapted for several U.S. military applications and renewable power systems to turn waste into energy, as well as being used in an attempt to break the Land Speed Record for steam powered vehicles.

"My ancestors ushered in the Industrial Revolution and powered the trains and ships that built this country. My brothers and sisters are the power plants that provide over 80% of our nation's electricity -- proven, reliable turbine engines. I am 21^st Century technology that can help advance our independence from foreign oil and protect our environment, while supporting the American economy and job creation."
