Cyclone Power Technologies Successfully Completes Engine Tests for Raytheon Company

POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (Pink Sheets:CYPW) has successfully completed
performance tests of its award-winning external combustion engine for Raytheon
Integrated Defense Systems (IDS).

The tests demonstrated that Cyclone`s prototype water-cooled Mark II engine
achieved thermal efficiencies over 30%, results that exceeded original
engineering calculations. Operating at temperatures of 1000°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 pleased to complete these tests for our customer," stated 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 an environmentally
friendly monopropellant called Moden Fuel. A team of engineers and technicians
from Cyclone, Raytheon IDS, James R. Moden Inc. and Advent Power Systems
pioneered, performed and monitored the tests.

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.
