Traditional Rankin
Cycle Engines develop about half the
horsepower and twice the size of a
normal gas engine. The generator,
being a large separate unit, will
occupy a space larger than a normal
internal combustion engine of the
same horsepower. The radiator
capacity must also be three times
larger.
-
Other types of engines generally occupy a larger space of
comparable horsepower.
-
The Cyclone Engine is a one-piece unit. High pressures allow the cubic
capacity of the motor to be small in relation to the horsepower developed. Gas
internal combustion engines generally develop one horsepower per 1.5 cubic
inches of displacement, whereas the Cyclone can develop 2.5 horsepower per cubic
inch. The Cyclone requires no separate radiator, transmission or muffler.
Today’s Cyclone Engine occupies approximately the same size as the Internal
Combustion Gas or Diesel Engine. However, by eliminating the peripherals such as
the transmission, radiator and muffler leaves the Cyclone as a compact power
plant.
