Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. has entered into a Letter of Understanding with TopLine Energy Systems, LLC, a licensee of global manufacturing leader TopLine Automotive Engineering, Inc., to build Cyclone’s external combustion engines. (Earlier post.)
Under the terms of this preliminary agreement, TopLine Energy will provide assistance with engineering and planning of Cyclone’s WHE-25 model engines, and manufacture pre-production prototypes of these units starting immediately.
Given the acceptable completion and review of this first stage, TopLine Energy will position itself as the preferred manufacturer for Cyclone’s operating subsidiary Cyclone-WHE LLC, for mass production of these engines. Initial planned uses for the Cyclone WHE-25 range from industrial and vehicular waste heat recovery, to power generation from waste fuels such as used motor oil, to other similar renewable power applications.
TopLine Automotive, a 30+ year-old company, is currently one of the largest manufacturers of automotive after-market parts in the United States, supplying more than 50% of the market.
