POMPANO BEACH, FL, March 16, 2011.  Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (Pink Sheets: CYPW) and the U.S. Land Steam Record Team (Team Steam) announced that Aero Tec Laboratories Inc. (ATL), the world's oldest and largest producer of safety fuel cells for race cars, has become a sponsor of Team Steam and its attempt to break the world speed record for steam-powered vehicles.

Team Steam is attempting to become the fastest steam powered car on earth, a record set in 2009 by the British "Team Inspiration" at 148mph. Cyclone's 100hp Mark V external combustion engine will power the Team Steam land speed record (LSR) car in its record breaking attempt, scheduled for later this year. The powerful, compact Cyclone engine boasts very low emissions and can run on virtually any fuel, including 100% bio-fuels or multi-fuel mixtures.

 

"ATL is a big supporter of racing and LSR teams," stated David H. Dack, the company's Vice President of Sales. "With the Cyclone-Williams vehicle and Team Steam, we are also supporting new technology with important environmental benefits, including true fuel flexibility. This is a goal that fits well with our broad line of robust fuel cells."

 

ATL's fuel cells dominate the ranks of nearly all professional racing series, including NASCAR Sprint Cup, FIA Grand Prix Formula 1, GT Endurance, Off-Shore Boats, WRC Rally and Sprints. Their non-exploding tanks are also used in mining vehicles, off-road construction equipment, military vehicles and police cars. Like the Cyclone engine, ATL's fuel cells are designed to accommodate virtually all fuels from high-octane gasoline to E100 and bio-diesel.

 

"We thank ATL for their support of our record breaking attempt and their commitment to advancing clean energy technologies like the Cyclone engine," stated team leader Chuk Williams.

 

Sponsorship opportunities are available for corporations and individuals who want to participate in this attempt at automotive racing history. Please visit the USLSR site for more info: www.USlandsteamrecord.com.
