Today, AMORC sees itself as representing an " open cycle " of the ancient Rosicrucian tradition, claiming that its existence is a " reactivation " of Rosicrucian teaching in the United States, with previous Rosicrucian colonies in the United States having become dormant.

Although fish populations in the bay have been declining since 1979, they nosedived after 1984 when plant operators converted a previously closed-circuit cooling system to an open cycle, increasing the plant's withdrawal of cooling water and the discharge of warm water by about 45 percent.

The Izombe Gas processing plant once operational will take feed gas from the Izombe flow station and other flow stations within the immediate vicinity and deliver dry gas to 381MW Egbema Power Station, an open cycle gas turbine power plant being developed in neighbouring Ohaji / Egbema.

In this basic design, the " open cycle ", the losses of nuclear fuel would be difficult to control, which has led to studies of the " closed cycle " or nuclear lightbulb engine, where the gaseous nuclear fuel is contained in a super-high-temperature quartz container, over which the hydrogen flows.

At Windscale, a program of regular annealing was put in place to release accumulated Wigner energy, but since the effect was not anticipated during the construction of the reactor, and since the reactor was cooled by ordinary air in an open cycle, the process could not be reliably controlled, and led to a fire.

In size ranges around 50 MW and above, an open cycle gas turbine is more efficient at full load than an array of diesel engines, and far more compact, with comparable capital costs; but for regular part-loading, even at these power levels, diesel arrays are sometimes preferred to open cycle gas turbines, due to their superior efficiencies.
