POMPANO BEACH, FL, (Accesswire - October 8, 2013) - Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: CYPW), developer of the all-fuel clean-tech Cyclone Engine, announced today that it has signed a revised and restated License Agreement with Phoenix Power Group LLC. Under this agreement, Cyclone and its waste-to-power operating subsidiary, Cyclone-WHE LLC, will manufacture and supply Phoenix with a minimum of 6,500 engines over the next five years.     

Phoenix is Cyclone’s exclusive, worldwide licensee with rights to utilize Cyclone engines to produce power from the clean combustion of used motor oil, as well as other waste fuels and engine lubricants. Phoenix’s distributors currently control 70% of the used motor oil furnace market, with more than 150,000 such heat-producing units beings sold over the last several decades. 

Under the terms of this new agreement, Phoenix will purchase engines for a period of at least five years from Cyclone-WHE at prices to be determined at a future date. In order to maintain its exclusivity under the ten-year license, Phoenix must purchase at least 6,500 engines during the initial five-year period after delivery of the first running prototypes. The 10hp Waste Heat Engine (WHE) model will be the first engine to be provided; however, all Cyclone engines are covered under the license. Upon completing certain engine development milestones, the agreement will be transferred to Cyclone-WHE to execute the production phase of this program.

"This is an important agreement for Cyclone and its shareholders, as it provides Cyclone-WHE with its first committed customer to purchase engines over an extended period of time for a solid and proven distribution pipeline. We expect this will generate substantial product sales revenue, as opposed to license royalties, and a firm base to ramp up our manufacturing operations. We’re thrilled to be working with the capable and well supported team at Phoenix on the launch of our engines," stated Christopher Nelson, President of Cyclone and Managing Director of Cyclone-WHE.         

Thomas Thillen, President of Phoenix, stated: "We have seen great progress at Cyclone over the last few months with their focus on commercialization of the WHE. The addition of the engineering team at Ohio State University and the manufacturing capacity with Precision CNC has provided us confidence that we will see Cyclone engines in Phoenix used oil cogeneration systems in the near future.  We are supportive of their development path, and look forward to a long, mutually profitable business relationship."
