Cyclone Power Technologies' Waste Heat Engine project moves to Center for Automotive Research for next commercialization phase
Christopher Nelson, President of Cyclone and Managing Director of the company's Waste Heat division, stated: "We have reached a milestone event for Cyclone and the evolution of our engine technology - a transfer of the physical engine, testing equipment and program management to our engineering partners at CAR. This is a critical, timely step as the technology moves into manufacturing mode in the Columbus, Ohio area. We are very proud of our innovation team in Florida which has developed an excellent engine, perfectly suited for the underserved small-scale waste-to-power sector. We now have top talent from CAR, our manufacturer Precision CNC, and a few other experts who will be coming onboard over the next couple of months, to complete our mission of getting our product to market."
James H. Durand, director of Testing, Engineering and Software Development Services (TESS) at CAR, stated: "Based on the great progress accomplished in Florida and with Cyclone's continued support of the program, we are confident that we can advance the Cyclone WHE-DR engine through its remaining steps to commercialization. We have the personnel, experience, expertise and strong desire to complete this project successfully."
CAR is a Columbus-based interdisciplinary research center within The Ohio State University's College of Engineering. Among other expertise, CAR focuses on advanced engine development, alternative fuels for reduced fuel consumption and emissions, electric and hybrid drivetrains, and advanced battery technology.
