Overview
REGI U.S., Inc. is developing for
commercialization an improved axial vane type rotary engine known as the Rand
Cam(TM)/RadMax(TM) rotary technology used in the revolutionary design of
lightweight and high efficiency engines, compressors and pumps. The RadMax(TM)
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(TM) engine also has multi-fuel capabilities allowing it to operate on
fuels including gasoline, natural gas, hydrogen, propane and diesel. REGI U.S.,
Inc. is currently designing and
testing prototype RadMax(TM) diesel engines, compressors and pumps intended for
aviation, automotive, industrial processes and military applications.

currently building a prototype for a large Fortune 1000
Company, and from past Company announcements, an update on
this prototype can be expected any day.
Profile
Transportation today consumes about 70% of the worldwide
petroleum production. Petroleum demand around the world is
projected to increase by 50% by 2030. This growth on petroleum
supply is expected to increase oil prices and the demand for
fuel efficient vehicles.
Transportation also accounts for 25% of the world's green
house gas emissions. The growth in the demand for
transportation is such that by 2030, transportation will be
the most emitting sector of the economy. Because most of
today's vehicles run on liquid hydrocarbon fuels,
transportation carbon dioxide emissions scale linearly with
energy consumption. The projected increase in
greenhouse gases (GHG) therefore is
also about 50% by 2030. By increasing vehicle efficiency the
transportation contribution to greenhouse gases can be
reduced.
The automotive industry is focused on meeting the 2020 CAFE ll
requirements of a fleet gas mileage of 35 mpg. Numerous
innovations will be necessary. These include reduced vehicle
weight, improved aerodynamics, reduced rolling friction and
increases in engine efficiency. The cost and effectiveness of
hybrid electrical vehicles will also be improved.
To meet the above needs, one such technical
innovation has already been developed. One innovation
that can augment these evolutionary changes is the RadMax(TM)
engine technology, owned by REGI U.S. Inc.
(OTCBB:RGUS). The RadMax(TM)
engine is a rotary based engine that has fewer parts and
increased efficiency compared to conventional piston engines.
Since it has fewer parts, it is also lighter in weight and
less expensive.
For a significantly different powertrain technology to make a
difference in fleet petroleum demand and GHG emissions, it
must first penetrate the fleet in significant numbers. Before
penetrating the fleet in significant numbers, the new
technology must become a significant fraction of all vehicles
manufactured. For significant production to start, the new
technology has to at least be close in market competitiveness
with existing technologies. Most of the new propulsion
technologies now under development, (such as fuel cell
vehicles, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids), still have
technical challenges to solve before they can be considered
market competitive. The RadMax(TM) engine is at an early
development stage but does not have
any technical challenges that are not normally resolved during
automotive development. It uses conventional automotive engine
materials and manufacturing methods. This will permit it to be
rapidly introduced into mass production. Within the 20 year
horizon the RadMax(TM) is expected to make a major impact on
automotive fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions.
The RadMax(TM) engine is an internal combustion engine built
around a rotary design. A RadMax(TM) engine would have two
times the power and weigh half as much as a piston engine of
the same size. Simplicity, power, and efficiency are key
design features in the RadMax(TM) Engine. REGI U.S.
Inc. (OTCBB:RGUS) owns the U.S. rights
to the technology.
RadMax(TM) is more efficient than equivalent piston engines
because it has lower internal friction. It has many fewer
moving parts resulting in lower basic friction. The combustion
chamber seals in the RadMax(TM) are based on the low friction
Wankel seals that have been successfully developed. The
RadMax(TM) engine operating on the same engine cycle as a piston
engine will have improved efficiency and lower fuel
consumption.
The RadMax(TM) engine has a variety of possible applications,
ranging from the tiny weed-trimmer to the commercial and/or
military jet engine, and a wide spectrum of uses, from air
conditioner compressors to air and steam expanders to hybrid
vehicle applications, to personal power generation. Multifuel
capability, fewer moving parts, high and efficient rates of
combustion, low weight, reduced vibration, and ease of
maintenance are but a few of the advantages this technology
offers.
The U.S. light duty vehicle fleet is almost exclusively made
up of vehicles using internal combustion engines (ICE) burning
liquid hydrocarbons. The fuel infrastructure and industry is
based on the production, transportation and distribution of
these fuels. Over the time period under consideration we can
expect little changes in the fuels used for transportation.
Greenhouse gases are produced during the production and used
in transportation fuels such as gasoline. In order to reduce
greenhouse gas emission, the amount of fuel consumed must be
reduced. The most direct way is to improve the fuel economy of
future vehicles. Other methods to reduce fuel consumption will
be to reduce the miles traveled through market action and
government action.
RadMax(TM) can play an important role in reducing fuel
consumption in future vehicles. A RadMax(TM) engine developed for
gasoline use will accelerate the increase in mileage for the
future vehicles. The smaller lower weight engine will permit
the weight of the vehicle to be reduced and the aerodynamics
to be improved. The RadMax(TM) engine is expected to be generally
more efficient than piston engines. When the RadMax(TM) is used
with advanced engine cycles, such as a turbocharge with direct
fuel injection, further improvements in the fuel use are
expected.
When the advanced RadMax(TM) engine is integrated into future
vehicles there will be significant improvements in fuel
economy and reduced emissions. A production RadMax(TM) could be
available in as soon as five years and significant penetration
of the market achieved within ten years.
For example, the Company estimates,
based on the work of researchers at MIT, that the RadMax(TM)
equipped midsized car could achieve 54 mpg with the advance
gasoline engine and up to 76 mpg when used with an electric
hybrid powertrain. These high values for fuel economy
translate directly into greenhouse gas reductions.
The carbon footprint in terms of the metric tons per vehicle
follows a similar pattern. If the RadMax(TM) engine technology is
used in the other transportation sectors, emissions from
vehicle use can be reduced up to 50% in the future.
REGI U.S., Inc. is targeting the $200
Billion targeted engine applications market which includes
sectors such as Lighter/smaller diesel engine replacement,
Aircraft and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Hybrid electric
vehicles, Power generation, Motorcycles, Small engine and
portable power tools, Heavy equipment & construction,
Recreational vehicles and even the Marine industry.
RGUS is not by any means new to the
spotlight, the Company has been publicly traded for around a
decade and management has in that time rubbed shoulders with
high profile individuals and Companies, and many are watching
this technology with eagerness. Former President Bill Clinton
and John Robertson, President of REGI U.S. Inc., recently
discussed the RadMax(TM) Rotary Engine and examined a small model
demonstrating the technology at the Clinton Global Initiative
Annual Meeting in New York City on September 2009. REGI
U.S. Inc. is also currently building a prototype for a large
Fortune 1000 Company, and from past Company announcements, an
update on this prototype can be expected any day. For more
information on the RadMax Technology and Regi U.S.,
investors are encouraged to watch the
corporate video.
REGI U.S. Inc. is the owner of the U.S.
Rights for the Rand Cam™ / RadMax(TM) Technologies. RadMax
Technologies, Inc. is 100% owned by REGI U.S., Inc. Lastly,
RadMax has the U.S. Military Rights for the RadMax(TM)
Technologies.
From a technical perspective, we had
Brendan Egan from 123LearnToTrade.com to again share his
technical insights, this time for REGI, U.S., Inc.. In the
video chart, Brendan describes the support and levels for RGUS
and notes the strong support level in the $0.20 cent range. He
also discusses possible price resistance, and to our surprise,
this stock has the potential to make quite an upward move
before the first major resistance level is encountered. For
more information on RGUS's stock chart from a technical
perspective, we encourage our investors to watch the video

located here.
Like we always say at this point in our
profile, remember that these are only our interpretations of
RGUS`s stock chart, and in this case, 123LearnToTrade.com's
interpretation. As always, we encourage all investors to do
their own due diligence and consult with a financial advisor
prior to making any investment decisions.
The RadMax(TM) engine has multi-fuel
capabilities allowing it to operate on fuels including
gasoline, natural gas, hydrogen, propane and diesel. REGI
U.S., Inc. is
currently designing and testing prototype RadMax(TM) diesel
engines, compressors and pumps intended for aviation,
automotive, industrial processes and military applications.
REGI U.S.'s RadMax technology has many patented claims,
among it being that it has a revolutionary internal combustion
engine technology that incurs signifiant reductions in size,
weight and manufacturing costs. The RadMax technology has a
30% greater fuel efficiency and has a fully developed computer
design that has been tested and is currently in the prototype
stage of development for testing with a Fortune 1000 Company.
REGI U.S.'s target market is huge to say the least,
everything from generators to various forms of transportation
currently peg the market at being valued at more than $200
Billion. Should the Company emerge with just a small
percentage of this overall market, which it hopes it can
achieve in the next 10 years, the RadMax technology as well as
REGI U.S. Inc.
(OTCBB:RGUS) could become household names in the fight against
global warming and dependence on foreign oil.
For these reasons and more,
AllPennyStocks.com decided to spotlight REGI U.S. Inc.
(OTCBB:RGUS) as their latest U.S. Company spotlight, and
we encourage our investors to conduct their own due diligence
on this innovative and game changing technology and monitor
trading in the Company's stock price over the coming days and
weeks.
RadMax Engine
Description
The RadMax(TM) engine is an internal combustion engine built
around a rotary design. A RadMax(TM) engine would have two times
the power and weigh half as much as a piston engine of the
same size. Simplicity, power, and efficiency are key design
features in the RadMax(TM) Engine - a truly revolutionary form of
rotary power. REGI U.S., Inc. owns the
U.S. rights to the technology.
The engine is comprised of two disc-shaped rotors and
driveshaft which turn and a housing or stator, which remains
stationary. Up to 12 vanes mounted parallel to the shaft slide
up and down inside the rotors as they follow a track on the
inside of the stator housings. The track is sinusoidal and
causes the combustion chambers formed between the rotor,
stator and vanes, to change their volumes as the vanes move
during rotation. The current version has 12 vanes in two
rotors which generate 24 combustion events per revolution. The
intake and exhaust are ported through the stator track so
there are no valves and no valve actuation and associated
lubrication cooling as found in piston engines. The engine
follows a conventional four stroke cycle of intake,
compression, combustion and exhaust. During a revolution the
sinusoidal track and combustion chambers produce a volumetric
change nearly identical to a normal piston. The power stroke
portion of the revolution is directly coupled to the drive
shaft. There is no need for the crankshaft, connecting rods
and related bearings and lubrication found in piston engines.
Since there are far fewer parts and less structural
requirements, the RadMax(TM) is much smaller and lighter than
comparable engines. Compared to equivalent piston engines, it
is 33% lighter and has 40% fewer parts. This should improve
reliability and cut manufacturing costs. The engine also
generates lower vibrations because all the components are
spinning in the same direction. There are no pistons or valves
making thousands of abrupt changes perminute. The combustion
chambers are also balanced around the rotor, plus the rotor
acts as a flywheel to smooth out power imbalances and
eliminate destructive harmonics.
RadMax(TM) is more efficient than equivalent piston engines
because it has lower internal friction. It has many fewer
moving parts resulting in lower basic friction. The combustion
chamber seals in the RadMax(TM) are based on the low friction
Wankel seals that have been successfully developed. The
RadMax(TM) engine operating on the same engine cycle as a piston
engine will have improved efficiency and lower fuel
consumption.
The RadMax(TM) engine has a variety of possible applications,
ranging from the tiny weed-trimmer to the commercial and/or
military jet engine, and a wide spectrum of uses, from air
conditioner compressors to air and steam expanders to hybrid
vehicle applications, to personal power generation. Multifuel
capability, fewer moving parts, high and efficient rates of
combustion, low weight, reduced vibration, and ease of
maintenance are but a few of the advantages this technology
offers.
