Environmental Advantages

Environmental concerns have prompted costly, complex technological responses to current emissions. Fuel cell technology is one example. The benefit of running on clean burning hydrogen is more than offset by the expense and bulk of the technology as well as the cost of creating, storing, and delivering fuel grade hydrogen. (Air admitted hydrogen has proven to be a GREEN HOUSE GAS, forming ice crystals in the upper atmosphere). Clean running electric vehicles are limited to very short ranges, and still must be recharged by electricity from a coal, diesel or nuclear-fueled power plant. Gas turbines are clean, but are constant speed engines. In small sizes they are costly to build, run and overhaul. Diesel and gas internal combustion engines are efficient, light, and cheap to manufacture, but they are dirty and hazardous to one’s health. Diesel, once thought to be clean, as been proven to be one of the most toxic compounds known (New Science, Oct. 25, 1997).

WHE - Waste Heat Engine

“Diesel smoke is around 40 times as carcinogenic as cigarette smoke” and “Research has indicated that life expectancy in large cities is reduced by around 15% by the inhalation of particulates...” Paper by Gong and Waring, SAE Australia, May/June 1998

These large diesel powered trucks are still needed for our livelihood. Gas powered cars have “catalytic converters that have so far failed to clean up the air . . . .converters only work efficiently when a car’s engine has warmed up... Lots of stopping and starting – catalysts never get hot enough.” New Scientist 1995 – September 1996.

1. The Cyclone engine utilizes a external combustion where the fuel is burned in a controlled environment, similar to home heating furnaces or electric power plants. As in the Cyclone Engine, the fuel and preheated air are centrifugally spun in a circle around the engine. The heavier, unburned particles are thrown to the outside, while the lighter, cleaner gases escape through a central tube-bundle to the exhaust.

2. The internal lubricant in the Cyclone engine is the same as the working fluid, which is deionized water. This is accomplished by using non-corrosive materials and high temperature composite bearings – both only recently available. Oil changes are not necessary. Only water may be added.

3. The Cyclone Engine using the innovative external combustion technology and because it does not need oil lubrication to operate, is an overall environmentally cleaner engine to run.
