Why It's Better

 

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

Lower Cost

The Cyclone Engine is a one-piece unit that travels without an “entourage” of complicated components. Eliminating these subsystems reduces cost, size and weight, while increasing overall efficiency and reliability of the engine.  For instance, the Cyclone Engine needs:

  • No catalytic converter or muffler

  • No oil pump or motor oil

  • No transmission or transmission fluid

Overall, the Cyclone Engine has fewer parts to manufacture, assemble and, ultimately, break-down or wear-out.  Its components are made of inexpensive, non-exotic materials.  As a result, we expect the cost of manufacturing and maintaining the Cyclone Engine will be less expensive than conventional gasoline or diesel engines of comparable power output.

 

Yes, we said no transmission. 
A 350/lb Cyclone Engine of 38-cu/inch displacement develops over 850ft/lbs of starting torque (which is more than necessary to eliminate the transmission). Transpose the decimal to 380 cu/inches and you will appreciate the implications of this technology when a manufacturer scales the Cyclone to a size suitable for heavy road transport. The starting torque of the Cyclone Engine is higher than an electric motor of comparable size, but similar in respect that neither requires a transmission, just a simple forward neutral and reverse lever is required
