this is a serious effort and a real engine. see: http://landspeedrecord.intuitwebsites.com/services.html
and

"In February, Cyclone Power Technologies announced the completion of tests with Raytheon of a Cyclone engine designed for the Navy to use in unmanned underwater vehicles and torpedoes. The engine burns Moden fuel, a liquid fuel that the Navy describes as low-cost and environmentally friendly.
The fuel contains its own oxygen, so it is able to burn in the absence of air, such as underwater and in space, Myers said.
Since they are lighter and smaller than internal combustion engines, Cyclone engines might also win favor as engines for propeller-driven UAVs, Myers said."
i don't think these people are suckers.
