Regi U.S., Inc./Reg Technologies, Inc. says its Rand Cam™ engine has completed several successful, continuous combustion tests in April using gasoline. The series of tests took place at SNK¹s test facilities in British Coumbia, with a starter speed of up to 490 rpm, utilizing a unique vane design that does not require vane tip seals. Brian Cherry, Reg Technologies consultant and co-inventor for the Rand Cam™ engine, says, "Eliminating the need for vane tip seals will reduce the manufacturing and maintenance costs significantly, therefore, resulting in a breakthrough with the technology." The Rand Cam™ engine design will be further tested for generator and hybrid car applications.
REGI U.S., Inc. owns the U.S. rights and the parent company Reg Technologies, Inc. owns the worldwide rights to the Rand Cam™ rotary technology. The engine is a lightweight rotary engine that has only two moving parts: the vanes (up to 12) and the rotor, compared to the 40 moving parts in a simple four-cylinder piston engine. This design makes it possible to produce a total of 24 continuous power impulses per vibration-free rotation.
The Rand Cam™ engine also has multi-fuel capabilities and is able to operate using fuels including natural gas, hydrogen, propane and diesel. Reg Technologies, Inc., together with REGI U.S., Inc., is in the process of testing a Rand Cam™ diesel engine for a generator application for hybrid electric cars. The company's licensee for the 42 hp production model diesel Rand Cam™ is currently completing the engine for unmanned aerial applications for the U.S. military. (www.regtech.com)
