Visit www.milparts.net/radmax. The July 15th, announcement by Radian MILPARTS states that plans are in place to start calibration testing at the Naval Air Systems Command The Naval Air Systems Command, or NAVAIR, is the part of the United States Navy which provides materiel support for naval aircraft and airborne weapon systems, such as guided missiles. NAVAIR was established in 1966 as the successor to the Navy's Bureau of Naval Weapons (BuWeps). (NAVAIR NAVAIR Naval Air Systems Command ) Patuxent River The Patuxent River is a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay in the state of Maryland. There are three main river drainages for central Maryland: the Potomac River to the west passing through Washington D.C. , MD late in the summer. Procedures are written and in place to determine and document the RadMax (TM) Engines horsepower, its vibration and noise metrics, and so forth. Following completion of the testing, to be conducted by engineers, first production units will generally be available by the fall, followed by a full production run next year. The announcement further states, the RadMax (TM) Engine, a heavy fuel engine that is comprised of only 13 moving parts Moving parts are the components of a device that undergo continuous or frequent motion, most commonly rotation. "Parts" only include the mechanical components which does not include fuel, or any other gas or liquid. , is completely balanced and on all speeds, loads and orientation angles. And best of all, without piston valves Piston valves are an integral part of the cylinder arrangement of a steam locomotive. They control the admission and exhaustion of steam from the cylinders, enabling a locomotive to move under its own power. , a crankshaft or camshaft it's inherently quiet at 60 dB at 1,500 feet. On September 22, 2003, we announced that Trans Air Manufacturing Corporation has notified the Company that they plan to move forward with the testing of the Rand Cam(TM) compressor for bus air conditioning air conditioning, mechanical process for controlling the humidity, temperature, cleanliness, and circulation of air in buildings and rooms.

On February 2, 2004, we reported that a REGI licencee for unmanned vehicle system engines has completed testing of the prototype 42 H.P. engine. Tests occurred at Adiabatics in Columbus, IN and at the U.S. Navy's test facility at Patuxent River, MD. The initial test results demonstrate that the first generation prototype engine generates pressure and temperature. The licencee has started design of a second generation prototype. The documentation and one of the completed 42 H.P. Rand Cam(TM) engines have been delivered to REGI U.S., Inc. as part of the license agreement. REGI U.S., Inc. can now make presentations to other potential licencee's for commercial applications using our Rand Cam(TM) diesel engine.
