Manufacturing Costs

• Four-stroke engines are complicated in their cylinder head valves – having a minimum of two valves, or up to five valves per cylinder. These engines take up more space than a Cyclone Engine. The gas engine, in order to operate, needs more peripheral equipment.

• The Cyclone Engine is smaller, with fewer parts. However, the materials handling the high operating temperatures and pressures are slightly more expensive. For example, aluminum block costs a bit more but is much lighter than traditional engine blocks. A typical 4 cylinder block weighs approximately 200 lbs where a Cyclone aluminum block will weigh about 35 lbs with no cores.

• The cost of manufacturing the Cyclone Engine should be no more expensive to produce at similar economies of scale than conventional gasoline engines of comparable power output with the advantages of being able to use the least expensive fuel available.
