Reg Technologies Announces Progress Report on Rand Cam(TM)
Projects
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 13 Reg Technologies,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: REGRF; CDNX: RRE.V) and its U.S. subsidiary REGI
U.S., Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RGUS) wish to announce that the following
progress report has been received by our Chief Engineer, Patrick Badgley.
RAND CAM(TM) AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR - The 25 cubic inch displacement
air conditioning compressor is at Trans/Air awaiting testing. Trans/Air is
currently preparing a special test rig for this compressor.
RAND CAM(TM) HYDRAULIC PUMP - A special 2.5 GPM pump has been designed and
is currently being fabricated for use in a hydrostatic transmission for the
lawn and garden market. The pump including an integrated 12 Volt drive motor
is scheduled to be completed next week. This pump incorporates the same new
technologies used in the air conditioning compressor including the winged
rotor and multi-piece vanes. The pump is designed for very low cost and is of
all plastic construction. Production pricing has been obtained and we are
very competitive according to our customer. Once the pump is completed, a
large transmission manufacturing company will test it.
RAND CAM(TM) AIR COMPRESSOR - A special 3.2 SCFM air compressor has been
designed for a large fuel cell customer. The customer has reviewed the design
and his comments including type of drive motor, inlet and outlet piping
arrangements and mounting considerations are incorporated and final drawings
are being prepared. This compressor will also be of virtually all plastic
construction and a prototype will be constructed very soon for testing and
evaluation by the fuel cell manufacturer.
RAND CAM(TM) ENGINE - Analysis has been completed on a RAND CAM COLD
TURBINE ENGINE to generate 1000 horsepower at 1800 rpm for the electrical
power generation market. Preliminary drawings of this engine have been
completed. A presentation has been prepared to visually demonstrate the
technology so that we can generate interest and obtain funding to build and
test this new engine. A dry run of the presentation was presented to a
representative of one of the largest engine manufacturers in North America and
the representative is assisting in setting up a presentation for top
management. This presentation will be "taken on the road" and shown to major
engine manufacturers and end users such as utility companies to solicit
interest. Summarizing the presentation, the RAND CAM COLD TURBINE ENGINE
compared to the best available MICROTURBINE ENGINE has 32 percent better
efficiency and generates 91 percent more power from the same airflow while
retaining all of the emissions advantages of the MICROTURBINE ENGINE.
An analysis has been started to show the potential of the RAND CAM COLD
TURBINE ENGINE in aircraft application at the 400 horsepower output level so
that we can work with several groups that have expressed interest in the Rand
Cam Engine at this rating for aircraft and marine markets.
