HYBRID EXTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE<br />

� Unlike internal combustion engines,<br />

the Cyclone engine uses an external<br />

combustion chamber to heat a separate<br />

working fluid (de-ionized water) which<br />

expands to create mechanical energy<br />

by moving pistons or a turbine (i.e.,<br />

Rankine cycle steam engine)<br />

� Combustion is external so engine can<br />

run on any fuel (solid, liquid, or<br />

gaseous)<br />

� Biomass, agricultural waste, coal,<br />

municipal trash, kerosene, ethanol,<br />

diesel, gasoline, heavy fuel, chicken fat,<br />

palm oil, cottonseed oil, algae oil,<br />

hydrogen, propane, etc. – individually or<br />

in combination<br />

� A 100 Hp vehicle engine has been<br />

developed
