Cyclone Power Technologies Signs License to Manufacture Clean Green Lawn Equipment
POMPANO BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - November 26, 2007) - Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc.
(PINKSHEETS: CYPW) announced today that it has entered into a License
Agreement with Revgine, Inc., a technology development company based
outside of Rochester, NY.
Under the terms of the license, Revgine has been granted the right to
develop, manufacture and sell engines utilizing Cyclone's patented
technology for use in lawn and garden equipment, such as lawn mowers, weed
eaters, leaf blowers, snow blowers and chain saws. For these worldwide
rights, Revgine has paid Cyclone an initial "six-figure" license fee and
will pay Cyclone ongoing royalties from future engine sales.
"This license marks an important milestone for Cyclone, in terms of both
our financial and technological growth," stated CEO Harry Schoell. "We see
Revgine as not only our licensee, but also our development partner. We
believe that with their resources and expertise, we can bring our
technology to market and hit our financial projections with greater
certainty."
Revgine brings to the table important technical resources and talent,
including access to a modern manufacturing facility, engineering expertise
in applied sciences and engine development, mechanics and machinists with a
proven track record of manufacturing complex systems for commercial use,
and vast material sourcing contacts.
The Revgine license covers lawn and garden equipment, a market of over $10
billion in annual sales in the United States alone, with great relevance
for our environment. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has found
that the 54 million Americans mowing their lawns each weekend with
gas-powered mowers may be contributing as much as five percent of the
nation's air pollution, and some states like California have begun to
outlaw traditional internal combustion engines in lawn equipment. The
engines initially contemplated under the Revgine license will be clean,
propane-powered and emit far fewer pollutants or toxins into the
atmosphere.
"This is the right product at the right time," added Mr. Schoell. "Let's
mow!"
CORPORATE PROFILE
Cyclone holds the U.S. patent, international patent applications, and
exclusive commercial rights to the Green Revolution Engine an
environmentally-friendly and highly-efficient external combustion,
heat-regenerative engine. Developed by Cyclone's President and CEO, Harry
Schoell, the Cyclone engine regenerates (or recycles) its heat, which
allows it to run cleaner, cooler and more efficiently than traditional
internal combustion engines. The Green Revolution Engine is capable of
running on any liquid or gaseous fuel, including ethanol, bio-diesel and
propane. The company also recently filed a patent application for its Waste
Heat Engine, a low-pressure engine capable of running on heat emitted from
external sources, including the waste exhaust of a power generator or
renewable solar power. Both these engines are lubricated with de-ionized
water instead of motor oil, and by eliminating many subsystems like oil
pumps, radiators, catalytic converters and fuel injectors, the Cyclone
engines are expected to cost less to manufacture, operate and maintain. The
Green Revolution Engine in particular is highly scalable and sufficiently
powerful for applications ranging from lawn equipment and small home
generators, large stand-alone generators, to cars, trucks, buses, RVs,
boats and ships, as well as earth moving equipment and locomotives.
