Robertson says REGI U.S. is in one of the milestone phases in its development as a company. With the successful completion of preliminary testing of its 125 horsepower advanced version of the RadMax® engine, REGI U.S. is now entering final development testing stage that Robertson says will be followed quickly by development of a commercially marketable engine.
       REGI also has completed fabrication of a prototype RadMax® pump that is capable of processing about twice its internal volume every revolution. A production unit would be half the size and weight of any competitive unit. Design and demonstration of a working model RadMax® compressor now under development is expected to have the same efficiency as the RadMax® pump, and will be half the size and weight of any competitive centrifugal compressor.
       “The pump and compressor market in the U.S. alone is $18 billion annually,” says Robertson.

       REGI U.S., owns the U.S. rights to the RadMax® rotary engine technology capable of boosting power to weight ratio by some 600%, a dramatic departure from existing engine designs that are virtually unchanged since 1876 when the piston engine was invented.
       What makes the RadMax® rotary engine so different is its light weight and a sleek design that has only two moving parts – the vanes (up to 12) and a rotor – making it both extremely efficient and very quiet. In comparison, the 40 moving parts in a simple four-cylinder piston engine. The revolutionary design produces a total of 24 continuous power impulses on each rotation of a vibration-free crank shaft. This is significantly better than the three impulses per revolution of the Wankle rotary engine used in Mazda cars.
       “We now have an agreement with an experienced engineer to perform the comprehensive developmen program required to produce a commercial engine for potential end users – and we have signed several non-disclosure agreements with major Fortune 500 companies interested in the RadMax®,” says Robertson.
       REGI U.S.’s goal is to license its technology and to participate in joint ventures to manufacture specific RadMax® applications. With its parent, Reg Technologies, the company began working on developing the RadMax® engine several years ago. Reg Technologies owns the worldwide rights to the rotary engine technology, while REGI U.S. owns the U.S. rights. REGI U.S. has completed an agreement for the rights to the RadMax® technology, the RadMax® trademark, as well as all study notes, drawings and parts list from Radian Inc., developer of the 42 hp engine and the 125 hp. RadMax® engine. Development work on the RandCam®’s original patents have used up nearly 10 years of patent-life, -according to Robertson. The RadMax® patent when approved will give the company an additional 20 years to generate revenue – and greatly enhances future rewards for -investors.
       “This gives us a new, improved version of our rotary engine design – and the potential for another 20 year patent. This is a very important agreement for the company,” says Robertson, who leads both companies. He has extensive experience managing public companies and a high success rate in raising capital through both private placements and public offerings.

       The RadMax® can be used in any application where piston engines are used today. “Most people don’t realize how many motors we use in everyday life. Everything from a weed trimmer to a jet engine needs a motor,” says Robertson.
       REGI U.S. has built prototype engines for air pumps for fuel cell applications and for lumbar seats in automobiles, as well as an air conditioning compressor for buses. The company also has completed the design and fabrication phase for a diesel engine for unmanned aerial applications and plans to develop a RadMax® generator for hybrid car applications.
       The RadMax® is expected to address the power needs of many large markets, ranging from the military and homeland security, to transportation, power generation, agriculture, landscaping, marine, construction, power tools, and pumps and compressors for both heat and air-conditioning.
       One of those users could be U.S. military contractors for possible unmanned aerial applications. Robertson says initial discussions with the defense industry yielded definite interest in the RadMax®’s sharply reduced maintenance needs and high performance efficiency allowing increased loads or extended ranges.
       As RadMax® rotary motors are introduced to commercial markets, their durability, improved performance and reduced service and warranty returns should yield substantial market demand and therefore significant future profits for REGI U.S.

       Attention to REGI U.S.’s RadMax® has grown significantly during the past few years, prompting a feature article in the April 2007 issue of Forbes magazine. The company also exhibits at investment seminars and trade shows. These venues are attended by leading global media companies, investing and trading experts, increasing REGI's exposure.
       Two independent research firms recently issued "buy" recommendations for REGI, concluding that the company's RadMax® technology represents "uniquely strong investment potential" and offers an "upside potential that substantially outweighs downside risks".

       REGI is well financed, with a $10 million equity line of credit arranged in November 2006 by a New York-based investment banker. The company plans to continue focusing on prototype development for specific applications, leaving marketing, manufacture and distribution to its licensing partners. Additional demonstration prototype pump compressor and heavy fuel engines are scheduled to be released before year end.
       “The rotary engine has enormous military and civilian commercial applications,” says Robertson. “We like to think that wherever there is a motor there is a market for RadMax® engine. We believe we can offer a major increase in performance and energy efficiency and a major reduction in servicing costs.”
       In direct response to strong interest from the military sector, REGI recently formed a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary to facilitate securing U.S. military contracts for custom versions of its proprietary RadMax® products. Possible uses include UAV applications battery chargers, air-conditioner compressors and military vehicles.
       RadMax Technologies, Inc., a Washington corporation led by President James Vandeberg, is an attorney specializing in securities and acquisitions. The new company will also supply research and development funding to tailor RadMax® products to meet specific military requirements.
       “The launch of this new subsidiary for U.S. military applications allow the company to compete for funding from the U.S. government departments and agencies and remain in full compliance with the ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations),” says REGI U.S. President and CEO John Robertson. “The U.S. military funding will help accelerate the growth and development of the RadMax® technology.”
