Robotic Technology Purchases Beta Biomass Engine System From Cyclone Power Technologies

POMPANO BEACH, FL, Jan 28 (MARKET WIRE) --
Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CYPW) has received a
contract from Robotic Technologies Inc. (RTI), of Potomac, MD, to develop
a beta biomass engine system which will be used to power RTI's
Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR(TM)), a project sponsored
by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Defense
Sciences Office.

The EATR is an autonomous robotic platform able to perform long-range,
long-endurance military missions without the need for manual or
conventional re-fueling. The system is designed to obtain its energy by
foraging -- engaging in biologically-inspired, organism-like, energy
harvesting behavior which is the equivalent of eating. The patent pending
robotic system can find, ingest and extract energy from biomass in the
environment (and other organically based energy sources), as well as use
conventional and alternative fuels (such as gasoline, heavy fuel,
kerosene, diesel, propane, coal, cooking oil and solar) when suitable.

"Cyclone brings to this project one of the most advanced external
combustion engine technologies we have seen," stated Dr. Robert
Finkelstein, President of RTI. "In terms of power-to-size ratio,
scalability and fuel flexibility, the Cyclone engine is ideal for a
self-sustaining, autonomous intelligent robotic vehicle designed for
unique military or civil applications."

This development project is expected to have two phases. In Phase I,
Cyclone will build and deliver within six months the engine with a biomass
combustion chamber for demonstration purposes. Cyclone believes that its
radial six-cylinder, 16HP Waste Heat Engine (WHE) system is ideally suited
for this application. In Phase II, Cyclone would build and deliver the
biomass trimmer/gatherer and feeder system to work with its engine power
source.

According to RTI, the EATR demonstration project can lead to three
potential commercialization projects: (1) the development of prototype and
operational EATR systems for military and civil applications; (2) new
civil and military applications for the autonomous intelligent control
system; and, most relevant for Cyclone, (3) development of the hybrid
external combustion engine system for civil and military automotive
applications, whether for manned or unmanned vehicles.

"This is an exciting, out-of-the-box application for our engine
technology," stated Harry Schoell, CEO of Cyclone. "Working with RTI on
this DARPA-sponsored project will allow us to demonstrate the huge
advantages of the Cyclone's power-to-size ratio compared to other external
combustion engines, and great fuel flexibility compared with internal
combustion engines."

DARPA is the central research and development organization for the U.S.
Department of Defense. More information about the EATR project can be

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 portable 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
