Pompano Beach, FL, March 3, 2010. Cyclone Power Technologies (Pink Sheets: CYPW) announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a Notice of Patent Allowance on the valve controlled throttle mechanism of the Company’s heat regenerative external combustion engine.
The patented valve/throttle component, comprised of a uniquely designed cam mechanism driven by hydraulics, serves several important functions in Cyclone’s high performance steam engine, including: allowing the engine to self-start, thus eliminating the need for a starter motor; changing valve duration to increase the engine’s efficiency; and reversing the rotation of the pistons to allow the engine to run backwards. This last feature, along with the high starting torque of the Cyclone Engine, can help eliminate the need for a transmission in automotive applications.
