11/13/2002 - 3:27:00 PM
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov 13, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) --REGI U.S., Inc., (OTCBB:RGUS) U.S. subsidiary of Reg Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:REGRF)(TSX VENTURE:RRE.V), wishes to announce a progress report on our current projects as reported by Patrick Badgley, vice president of REGI U.S., Inc.: 42 Horsepower Diesel Engine -- for unmanned vehicle applications for helicopters. The design phase of this project is complete and fabrication of the engine has commenced. Planning for the test facility and test plan is also underway. Air Conditioning Compressor -- for air conditioning units for buses. Trans/Air Corporation has notified Reg Technologies, Inc. that testing our special Rand Cam(TM) air conditioning compressor was delayed due to lack of personnel. Trans/Air promised to have the necessary people available for testing after the start of next year. 0.5 Horsepower Diesel Engine -- for unmanned spy plane applications. The initial Phase I portion of this project was funded by an SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) grant that was awarded to ACR (Advanced Ceramics Research Corporation) for building and testing a small engine for UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). The Phase I project has been completed and a proposal for additional work in a Phase II project has been submitted to the Government. Rand Cam(TM) Steam Expander -- for hybrid car applications. We are working with two different groups on adapting the Rand Cam(TM) concept as a steam engine expander. These engines span a horsepower range from 25 to 10,000 horsepower. A proposal for a funded analysis, design, fabrication and test program has been prepared and submitted to one of the groups. About Regi U.S., Inc. / Reg Technologies, Inc. Reg Technologies, Inc. jointly owns the worldwide rights to the Rand Cam(TM) rotary technology with its U.S. subsidiary REGI U.S., Inc. and is currently incorporating its latest winged rotor technology to dramatically improve sealing and reduce friction in the diesel Rand Cam(TM)engine. The Company has designed and built an air pump for fuel cell applications as well as an air pump for the lumbar seats in automobiles. The Company has also built a compressor for air conditioning units for buses. Currently REGI U.S., Inc. is developing a ceramic engine for the U.S. Navy's new low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle and has completed drawings for a 42 H.P. engine for unmanned helicopter applications. The Company's goal is to license the Rand Cam(TM) technology and/ or to participate in joint ventures to manufacture specific Rand Cam(TM) applications.
