I am merely a fan of the Cyclone, and I want to make others aware of it.

The Cyclone uses a standard monotube boiler design with 1/4" diameter tubing. There is no danger of a boiler explosion. The disc elements that you refer to make up the condenser. This is not your old school steam system.

The engine operates on supercritical and superheated steam at 3200 psi and 1200F, and with very high expansion ratios. This has allowed the steam generator to be very compact, thermal efficiency high, and overall power to weight ratio to be very high.

Cyclone Power exists to develop the engines and does not manufacture. The technology is in its infancy, but test results over the last couple of years have been fantastic. The design is remarkably simple. The primary difficulties that have prevented the large scale adoption of steam in automotive applications has been bulky and heavy condensing systems, low power to weight ratios, and low thermal efficiency. All of these have been solved elegantly in the Cyclone.

Once again, my goal here is only to make others aware of the Cyclone as I believe they would be very interested. I would advise that you contact Cyclone for the detailed information of which you inquire. I am not associated with Cyclone Power, and this is information that I just don't have access to.

BTW, I appreciate your posting style. I wish everyone had similar responses.
