 Harry Schoell,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is a 65-year-old entrepreneur and
technology visionary. Harry is a native Floridian, born in Miami, and a third
generation inventor and engineer. Even as early as high school, Harry
distinguished himself as an inventor, winning a Ford Foundation Award for an
original handcrafted sailboat hull design.
Harry has worked for years to realize his dream to create an
environmentally-friendly engine, and has a patent issued and 14 patents pending
on the Schoell Cycle Heat Regenerative External Combustion Engine, now called
the Green Revolution EngineTM, as well as 48 other patents pending on the
engine’s components.
Harry is well versed in all facets of manufacturing procedure including:
appropriate foundry protocol, castings, machining, production design &
manufacturing, plastic and fiberglass laminates. In the 1960's participated in
thermal dynamic testing on Rankine Cycle Engines which ultimately led to the
creation of the Cyclone Engine.
Harry also has extensive experience in designing, inventing and building unique
boat hull designs and patented marine propulsion systems, through Schoell
Marine, a company he founded in 1966 which provides design innovation to the
marine and other industries.
Since founding Schoell Marine more than 40 years ago, Harry successfully built
that company and its reputation based on his original ideas, highly trained
engineers, skilled drafts people, and prototype and production specialists.
Schoell Marine covers all facets of contemporary boat design and manufacturing.
His inventiveness has resulted in over 40 specialized patents and patent
applications, and Harry is known throughout the marine industry for his genius
and is highly sought after for his knowledge and expertise. He is always
thinking ahead and “outside the box”.
Harry also patented a Jet Drive System and a trimmable surface drive, as well as
a “Ground Effect Craft” that would gently glide above the water using surface
effect as the medium. Harry also holds patents on a lightweight yet powerful,
compact internal engine that he designed and built in 1990.
Harry has won the Engineer of the Year Award and Designer of the Year Award from
Vapor Trails Magazine. He has also been presented with four different Innovation
of the Year Awards from the NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association):
one for a multi-hull boat design, one for a surface drive propulsion system, one
for marine engine conversion, and a final one for a stepped hull design. All
designs were patented in recent years.
Harry belongs to SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), the ASME (American
Society of Marine Engineers), and The Society of Naval Architects and Marine
Engineers.
 Wilson McQueen was
recently appointed to the position of VP Sales & Marketing of the company and
has been with Cyclone in a consulting role since 2005. His responsibilities as
VP Sales & Marketing include: developing and implementing marketing strategies;
licensee presentations and evaluations; coordinating Cyclone’s presence at
conventions and trade shows; and communications with potential investors,
manufacturers and partners.
Mr. McQueen began his career back in 1972 by founding the first dive shop on the
tiny island of Saba in the Netherland Antilles. This business continues to
produce income for the Island and has become a top diving destination for
sophisticated worldwide travelers.
During his 25-year stay in the Caribbean, Wilson went on to create the first
successful high-speed inter island ferry service between the islands of French
St. Maarten and the British island of Anguilla. Through creative marketing
strategies and a high demand for this service, this inter-island ferry business
spawned several other services that run between the two islands. This idea has
grown to a multi-million dollar tourism service and has helped put the island of
Anguilla on the map.
As the owner/operator of the first high speed ferry services between St. Maarten
and Saba, Netherland Antilles, Wilson’s responsibilities included implementing a
complete marketing plan throughout the Caribbean to bring tourism to the tiny
island nation. Wilson’s vision of the future continues to grow, linking more and
more of the island territories together with high speed ferry services, and
bringing approximately millions of dollars annually to the island territory.
 Michael Hodgson serves as
Cyclone’s Chief Engineer. He has been working with Harry Schoell since 1980 as
Chief Engineer and Designer of Schoell Marine, designing and constructing ships
from drawing board to finished product. Mr. Hodgson’s expertise includes all
aspects of engine design and mechanics.
