Aero Tec Laboratories sponsors Team Steam to break the world speed record

Aero Tec Laboratories will sponsor the Cyclone-Williams' Steam Vehicle, powered by a Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (Pink Sheets: CYPW) steam engine, in its attempts to become the fastest steam-powered car on earth.

The USLSR Streamliner model shown on the website is surely sleak enough. The world speed record attempt by "Team Steam" will thus challenge a record set in 2009 by the British "Team Inspiration" at 148mph.

The news release came from Pompano Beach, Florida, where Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (Pink Sheets: CYPW) and the U.S. Land Steam Record Team, now known as Team Steam, announced the sponsorship.

Fact is, Aero Tec Laboratories Inc. (ATL) is the world's oldest and largest producer of safety fuel cells for race cars, and has become an active sponsor of Team Steam in its attempt to break the world speed record for steam-powered vehicles.

Cyclone's 100hp Mark V external combustion engine to 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.
