IAASP is pleased to report the terrific results of our "co-hosted" first ever event to bring together on the west coast modern Steam Power Pioneers from the United States and around the world. A heart-felt Thank You goes out to all of the Steam Automobile Club of America (SACA) members, Cyclone Power Technologies, Chuk Williams, conference participants, and the IAASP volunteers who made this a great success.

In addition to the chance to get together with steam automobile club members in the exciting indoor and outdoor display venue of the California Automobile Museum, the meet and technical conference featured scientific sessions offering attendees focused time with the experts in past, present, and developing steam power technology; discussing the technical details of the latest modern steam power developments.

The lead Sponsor for the 2012 Steam Meet and Technical Conference was Cyclone Power Technologies. Headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida, Cyclone Power Technologies is the developer of the award-winning Cyclone Engine - a Rankine Cycle heat regenerative external combustion engine, otherwise known as the "Schoell Cycle".

On display at the event (and available for a close look by conference attendees) was the U.S. Land Steam Record (USLSR) Team streamliner. Driver and car designer, Chuk Williams, teamed up with engine developer Cyclone Power Technologies to build this modern steam-powered streamliner. This car will seek to become the fastest steam-powered vehicle on earth at the famous Bonneville Salt Flats in 2012. The speed to beat is 148.308 mph set by Team Inspiration from Great Britain in August 2009. As you can see from our photos, a few steam vehicle owners brought and operated their steam vehicles, to the enjoyment of many.
