POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Cyclone Power Technologies (Pink Sheets:CYPW) announced today that it has
achieved positive results from performance tests recently conducted on its award
winning Waste Heat Engine (WHE), and expects the final stage of testing prior to
on-site beta installation to begin in July. 

The tests involved running the WHE on heat generated from a simulated industrial
furnace. The company recently modified certain design elements and materials of
the WHE in an effort to reduce heat conductivity losses and engine wear. The
company also improved the design of the heat exchanger to generate higher steam
temperatures and pressures. 

The net results of these improvements, as demonstrated by the performance
testing, is expected to be an engine that operates at a broader range of
temperatures, achieves higher overall efficiencies and has greater lifetime
durability. 

"We are very pleased with progress made," said Allan Brown, Cyclone`s senior
engineer on the WHE project. "We have successfully isolated and debugged engine
issues, and vastly improved quality control on the production of parts." 

"By not rushing delivery and installation of this first beta engine, we have
been able to make advancements that have greatly improved the commercial
possibilities of the WHE," added Cyclone`s CEO, Harry Schoell. 

The WHE is a self-starting steam engine capable of producing up to 18HP (10kW of
electricity) from low to medium-temperature waste heat sources such as
industrial furnaces, commercial ovens and even solar thermal collectors. New
video of the improved WHE can be viewed at www.cyclonepower.com/video.html.
