POMPANO BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2014 / Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: CYPW), developer of the all-fuel, clean-tech Cyclone Engine, announced that it has successfully delivered its prototype S-2 engine and auxiliary power unit (APU) to the U.S. Army / Tank Automotive Research, Development & Engineering Center (TARDEC), in full satisfaction its $1.4 million development contract with the government. With this accomplishment, Cyclone has submitted for payment a final invoice for approximately $150,000.

The objective of the Army / TARDEC program was to develop a Phase I prototype of a highly compact (12” x 12” x 17”), lightweight 10kW power generator, driven by Cyclone’s multi-fuel capable external combustion engine. The system was designed to be compatible for use with multiple lines of combat vehicles, either as a built-in auxiliary or dismountable and portable power unit. Electro-Mechanical Associates of Ann Arbor, MI provided the specialized electric generator for the unit.

As part of the delivery, the Cyclone powered APU ran at the TARDEC test cell outside of Detroit, MI while connected to a fuel supply and an electrical load cell. Representatives from TARDEC confirmed that the system met contract requirements. The Company is now in discussions for follow-on funding to advance the technology through manufacturability and life testing.  

Harry L. Schoell, Cyclone CTO and inventor of the technology, said: “We are as enthusiastic as the TARDEC group is about this program. We believe our technology can have an even greater impact on the prime movers themselves, the tanks and trucks especially, where strict dependence on diesel and JP-8 has always been a planning hurdle in deployment and supply. These engines open up many options.”
