Affordable boating?

"Commercially, the Mark 5 engine could be used in power generators, automobiles, trucks and boats.

In August, Schoell's team will also attempt to set a new water speed record for steam-powered boats on a South Florida waterway."

I love the idea in a boat...could it run on salt and fresh water???? that would be awsome...just put out a pick -up tube and you would never need to stop for a fill up...no added wight for fuel cells.

Hmm, for now I think I'd rather my 37 AT come with 525s :coolcowboy:

And let's not forget our very own "Brownie's" involvement in the company. It's a very cool idea with broad implications if produced en masse. I wish them success and the best of luck.

I'm sure he will chirp in.

Looks very cool, Good luck to all involved!

Are they still going to use Harry's Banshee for the water record?
Hope all goe's well for them, can't wait to hear the out come.

affordable boating is an oxymoron...

Hmmmm, open flames in the bilge....

DITTO!!!! Theres' nothing "affordable about it"! LOL

really???:rolleyes::lolhit: saw the Baja on the lift last week when we went by, but no AT :lolhit:

cool stuff, curious what the heat source is and its efficiency.

Flames in the bilge is no big deal when you remove the combustible gas. And, they don't exactly have to be "open."

I like the idea, Would be interesting to see what kind of btu's are needed to heat the water to do real work.

No, actually a brand new 22 AT Banshee with a little lighter lay-up.

See our website at cyclonepower.com. Lotsa boat guys up here, Harry, Me, Mike (who has worked for Harry for 30 years), Nick Miller, Gerald from Hawk Engines, and more. This ain't a joke. It is the next big thing....

Do we even have to ask about the 37 sortcruiser in that pic, or are you going to start another thread??

so it recyles the water too?!?!? hp??? torque???

Interesting! Looking forward to future developments and updates. :cool:

A steam engine makes 100% available torque (whatever the number happens to be) @ 0 rpm...ever see a steam locomotive spin the drive wheels as soon as steam is applied to the cylinders?
In the video there was mention that the speedometer and tachometer would be the same instrument, sounds like it's the same deal with this engine- Cool stuff!

Are you saying that the tooling is still around the corner?
We may need to talk:drink:

X2 :coolcowboy:

Its still in the "I wish" catagory. :D

Agreed, let's hear about the "37 sortcruiser"! :lolhit:

Looks a bit bigger than a 37 to me. But it sure is one of Harry's hulls.

Hey Dad can you lay up one of them 22's for me please.

I need a lake toy soon.......
