Cyclone Power Technologies Has Biomass Electric Generator Prototype
Filed Under: Green Technology on October 21, 2009
With patent-pending, Cyclone Power Technologies now has a working prototype of their biomass electric generator and plans to go forward with production models based on its success. The Florida-based company is utilizing proprietary technology called WHE (waste heat engine) to make power from heat derived from the combustion of nearly any biomass available.
So from dry grass clippings to tree bark to corn stalks or whatever, the machine can produce power and heat. The production version of the WHE will be aimed at farms, ranches, and off-grid applications. The prototype is capable of producing 600ºF of heat and 15hp of power output. The power can be used for electricity generation, to turn a flywheel or PTO, etc. and the heat can be used to make hot water, heat a building, etc.
The biomass generator is a self-contained unit that uses the WHE to produce electricity and heat. It would be a great way for farms and ranches to use an overabundance of biomass for other energy needs, for small villages and towns to produce power and heat, and more.
Here’s a video of the Cyclone Power unit in action:
wow, this is one of the high tech generators and i love to make or repair something like this in the future..
