U.S. Congressman Klein Visits Cyclone Power Technologies; Shows Support of Company's Green Steam Engine

Cyclone Power Technologies (PINKSHEETS: CYPW) hosted Rep. Ron Klein (D-FL) Friday in a meeting requested by the Congressman to view the Cyclone Engine and discuss ways to support the company's award-winning technology on Capitol Hill.

This visit to Cyclone's research facility represented the second meeting between Rep. Klein and the Cyclone team. The first occurred at the Congressman's recent press conference to announce his five-point plan to reduce gas prices and help achieve American energy independence. Among the solutions Rep. Klein presented in July to "break our addition to oil" included greater investments in cutting edge technology, such as the multi-fuel capable Cyclone Engine.

The Cyclone Engine is a highly advanced steam engine, capable of running efficiently on virtually any fuel source. Over the last year the company has successfully run the environmentally-friendly Cyclone Engine on dozens of bio-fuels and synthetic gas alternatives, including fuels derived from algae and other inexpensive, renewable sources that do not eat into the world's food supply. Also, whereas diesel engines can only use 5% alternative fuels without voiding warranty and possibly damaging the engine (according to a 2008 EPA report), the Cyclone Engine can run 100% bio-fuel, even at less refined and less expensive stages of production.

The company also gave the Congressman a demonstration of its Waste Heat Engine, a low pressure, low temperature engine capable of running on heat from otherwise wasted sources, such as engine exhaust, kitchen ovens, water-based solar panels, or garbage incineration. A production prototype of the WHE is anticipated by the end of 2008.

"Cyclone Power Technologies is a great example of how American ingenuity can help solve our country's energy crisis," said Klein. "It is time for real investment in businesses that are developing and commercializing the next generation of renewable fuels and the engines that can most efficiently run them."

Cyclone's CEO, Harry Schoell, said: "We thank Congressman Klein for taking time to visit our facility and learn more about the economic and environmental advantages of steam engines like the Cyclone. The Congressman has demonstrated his commitment to tackling America's energy crisis, and we support him in that important mission."

CORPORATE PROFILE

Cyclone Power Technologies is the developer of the award-winning Cyclone Engine -- an eco-friendly external combustion engine with the power and versatility to run everything from hand-held electric generators and garden equipment to cars, trucks and locomotives. Invented by company founder and CEO Harry Schoell, the patented Cyclone Engine is a modern day steam engine, ingeniously designed to achieve high thermal efficiencies through a compact heat-regenerative process, and to run on virtually any fuel -- including bio-diesels, syngas or solar -- while emitting fewer greenhouse gases and irritating pollutants into the air. Currently in its late stages of development, the Cyclone Engine was recognized by Popular Science Magazine as the Invention of the Year for 2008, and was presented with the Society of Automotive Engineers' AEI Tech Award in 2006 and 2008. Additionally, Cyclone was recently named Environmental Business of the Year by the Broward County Environmental Protection Department. For more information, visit www.cyclonepower.com.
