REGI U.S., Inc., Reg Technologies, Inc. Announce Proof-of-Concept Pump
REGI U.S., Inc. (OTCBB:RGUS)(FWB:RGJ) and Reg Technologies, Inc. (TSX
Venture:RRE)(OTCBB:REGRF) are pleased to announce the completion of a
prototype, proof-of-concept pump. Robert Grisar, Vice President of
Engineering for the RadMax™/Rand Cam™
technology, reports it is suitable for supporting demonstration to
potential customers. It proves performance that a RadMax™
Pump is a positive displacement device, capable of processing
approximately twice its internal volume every revolution. This means
that a production unit could have identical performance with half the
size and weight of any competitive unit. Reduction of weight is a
significant performance parameter for all equipment, directly
translating into reduction of energy requirements.
Working with a customer’s specifications, a
production pump would include definition of performance goals, which
translate into size, weight, materials, fluid to be pumped, etc. A
production pump would require the design and development of production
tooling for lower cost castings (aluminum, steel, other), or injection
molded polymer devices.
Our completed efforts for the prototype RadMax™
Pump include the following metrics and results:
Size: 10-inch diameter
Weight: 140 pounds (estimated)
Material: All steel
Fluid: Any oil or water
Priming: Self-priming
Metrics: Volume per revolution, lift, head
Pressure: 500 psi (maximum)
Op Range: 0° C (32°
F) to 100° C (212°
F)
Speed: Up to 5000 RPM
Lynn Petersen, Vice President of Marketing for REGI U.S., Inc., states, "Based
on the RadMax™ pump’s
favorable evaluation, the Company expects to enter into agreements in
the near future generating revenue for REGI U.S., Inc.” About the RadMax™ Pump
The RadMax™ Pump is
positive-displacement device. It is extremely volume efficient, low
weight, and quiet. The RadMax™
Pump is a 12-vane device that produces 48 pump actions every revolution.
As a pump for water or fuel, the prototype 140-pound RadMax™
Pump has a theoretical displacement of more than 2,000 gpm at 3,600 rpm.
The solution is scalable with minimal design changes, and many of the
parts are interchangeable between different sized pumps.
About REGI U.S., Inc.
REGI U.S., Inc. owns the U.S. rights to the Rand Cam™/RadMax™
rotary technology used in the revolutionary design of light weight and
high efficiency engines, compressors and pumps. The RadMax™
engine has only two unique moving parts, the vanes (up to 12) and the
rotor, compared to the 40 moving parts in a simple four-cylinder piston
engine. This innovative design makes it possible to produce up to 24
continuous power impulses per one rotation that is vibration-free and
extremely quiet. The RadMax™
engine also has multi-fuel capabilities allowing it to operate on fuels
including gasoline, natural gas, hydrogen, propane and diesel. REGI
U.S., Inc. and parent company Reg Technologies, Inc. are currently
designing and testing prototype RadMax™
diesel engines, compressors and pumps intended for aviation, automotive,
industrial processes and military applications. For more information,
