Why It's Better

 

1: All-fuel   |  2: Earth-friendly   |   3: High Efficiencies   |  4: Lower Cost

Reason 2: Earth-friendly  

Several aspects of the Cyclone make it more eco-friendly than internal combustion engines.

  1. Fuel Choice: The Cyclone Engine can run on 100% biofuels (i.e., it does not require a 15% or less mixture with fossil fuels), and these new sources can provide true carbon-neutral alternatives to fossil fuels.
  2. Longer Burn Time: The Cyclone Engine’s patented cyclonic combustion chamber allows for a longer burn time, which means that more carbon particles are incinerated before being exhausted.
  3. Lower Burn Temps: The Cyclone Engine burns its fuel at low temperatures (about 2200°F), which is below the temperature at which most harmful NOx gases are created.
  4. Cooler Exhaust: Exhausted gases run through a heat exchanger before leaving the engine, lowering the temperature at release to about 350 degrees … hundreds of degrees lower than internal combustion exhaust.
  5. No Motor Oil: Water (de-ionized) is the Cyclone Engine’s sole lubricating fluid, which means there is no waste oil to change, dispose or leak into the ground.
  6. Quieter Run: Internal combustion engines have an explosion that emits supersonic sound waves out the exhaust valves to the atmosphere, requiring a muffler system. The Cyclone’s exhaust is virtually noise-free.

All these benefits are achieved without costly and complicated exhaust-tempering equipment such as catalytic converters. Clean, cool and quiet is the very nature of the Cyclone Engine.

Algae fuel is an attractive choice for the Cyclone engine as it requires little or no refining to burn clean and efficiently compared to other fuels and will be a renewable source of energy for years to come.
