The tests demonstrated that Cyclone's prototype water-cooled Mark II engine achieved thermal efficiencies over 30 percent, results that exceeded original engineering calculations. Operating at temperatures of 1000 degrees F and steam pressures of 1150 psi, the compact 98 lbs Mark II ran at 2133 rpm and produced 13.4 hp and 33 ft-lbs of torque at a diesel fuel burn rate of 0.8 gal/hr.
"We're very happy to complete these tests for our customer," said Harry Schoell, CEO of Cyclone. "The Raytheon IDS team has meticulously reviewed our findings and validated our final results. We now look forward to moving our business relationship forward."
The parties are currently in discussions regarding the next phases of this project, the details of which have not been finalized at this time.
The demonstration of these new technologies was in fulfillment of an Independent Research and Development (IR&D) contract from Raytheon IDS signed last year. In February, Cyclone announced the completion of the first stage of testing, which involved running the Cyclone Engine by the combustion of a monopropellant called Moden Fuel.
Raytheon IDS is a business of Raytheon Company. Moden Fuel, a monopropellant able to burn in the complete absence of air, was originally developed by James R. Moden, Inc. of Richmond, RI, to power U.S. Navy torpedoes. Advent Power Systems, based in Coconut Creek, FL, is the exclusive licensee for U.S. military applications of the Cyclone Engine technology.
