POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Aug. 7, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Cyclone Power Technologies announced today that it has burned a bio-fuel derived from orange peels in the high-performance fuel injector of its Green Revolution Engine(tm).
The 100% natural bio-fuel, d-Limonene, atomized efficiently through the fuel injector, produced a clean burning flame, and registered a BTU level almost 500 units greater than kerosene. Equally important, the test required no modifications to the fuel injector, demonstrating the versatility of this critical component of Cyclone's engine.
"Our fuel injector is based on a technology known as High Turbulence Siphon-Type Air Atomization, which emits a small micron gasified particle," stated Michael Hodgson, Cyclone's chief engineer. "We can ignite the bio-fuels on and off like a light switch and they are very clean to burn."
Over the next few weeks, the Company plans to test other alternative fuels in its fuel injector, including bio-diesels produced from palm oil, cotton seed oil and chicken fat, as well as ethanol, which is produced from corn.
"We're very pleased with what these results tell us about our fuel injector," stated CEO Harry Schoell. "We're also pleased with d-Limonene, which burns hotter and cleaner than kerosene, and also makes the entire test area smell like oranges."
About Cyclone
Cyclone holds the U.S. patent, international patent applications, and exclusive commercial rights to the Green Revolution Engine(tm), an environmentally-friendly and highly-efficient external combustion, heat-regenerative engine. Developed Cyclone's President and CEO, Harry Schoell, the Green Revolution Engine(tm) regenerates (or recycles) its heat, which allows it to run cleaner, cooler and more efficiently than traditional internal combustion engines. It is capable of running on any liquid or gaseous fuel, including ethanol and propane, and is lubricated with de-ionized water instead of motor oil. By eliminating many subsystems like oil pumps, radiators, catalytic converters and fuel injectors, Cyclone's Green Revolution Engine(tm) is expected to cost less to manufacture, operate and maintain; however, it is highly scalable and sufficiently powerful for applications ranging from lawn equipment and small home generators, large stand alone generators, to cars, trucks, buses, RV's, boats and ships, as well as earth moving equipment and locomotives.
