Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. has been selected by the U.S. Land Steam Record Team to provide the high performance racing engine for its streamliner vehicle, which will attempt to break the world land speed record for steam vehicles in Bonneville, UT, as early as next August.
This is the same engine that the technocrats at FauxNews reported would power hordes of corpse-eating robots:
FauxNews may have confused Mark Twain's report of the Trans-Egypt Railroad running on mummie power with a newer model of steam engine. Faux folk do after all live in another millenium.
"This is a great test of the power and performance of our all-fuel capable, earth friendly Mark V automotive engine," stated Cyclone CEO and engine inventor, Harry Schoell. "Given our current calculations, we expect to beat the standing land speed record by a comfortable margin with an engine that can ultimately be placed into everyday passenger vehicles."
Shouldn't be too difficult. The current record is 148 mi/hr.
While Warren Buffett is betting on electric cars in China, at least one Chinese group may be betting on a new-fangled American steam engine:
Cyclone Power Technologies Signs Letter of Intent to Expand Engine Development in China
I would caution that these letters of intent are a dime a dozen and unknown Chinese corporations can be no more than dummy set-ups. The mysterious East learns quickly from American businessmen with dummy corporations like AIG, Bank of America, etc. Maybe the Chinese will be fortunate enough not to get dummy government giving real money to dummy corporations.
While bankers are burning money and Americans are dreaming of saving the planet with solar satellites zapping power down to earthlings, real people are developing real baseload power by burning waste biomass, tapping Mother Earth's power, utilizing water power without hurting the fishies.
FauxNews and faux environmentalists here at dKos may not approve but somebody's got to save life on the planet if there is to be a future for humans. Dreaming won't do it.
Thank God for Stephen Chu.
