Regi U.S., Inc. -- Fabricating Completed for the U.S. Navy Project.Business Editors VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2002 REGI REGI Raptor Education Group Inc (Wisconsin) U.S., Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :RGUS), U.S. subsidiary of Reg Technologies, Inc. (RRE RRE Red Rock Eater (News Service) RRE Road Race Engineering RRE Remote Roof Easy RRE Residential Real Estate RRE Rise-And-Run-Length Encoding RRE Royal Radar Establishment (Great Britain) .V / OTCBB:REG RF), wishes to announce that the hardware for building and testing the 0.5 H.P. Rand Cam(TM) ceramic engine has been fabricated. The new engine will be developed for powering the U.S. Navy's new Smart Warfighting Array of Reconfigurable Modules (SWARM) low cost unmanned aerial vehicles
Patrick Badgley, vice president of REGI U.S., Inc., states, "The Rand Cam(TM) rotary engine for the Navy's unmanned aerial vehicle A powered, aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator, uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift, can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely, can be expendable or recoverable, and can carry a lethal or nonlethal payload. , christened "SWARM", will be made of ceramics and plastic, lightweight materials that are preferable to metal because they are cheaper, they can't be easily detected by radar, and they can withstand higher temperatures, enabling the engine to burn fuel more efficiently. The Rand Cam(TM) ceramic engine in SWARM planes can be adopted by other government agencies or even private industry for a variety of purposes: weather research, traffic control, monitoring national borders for illegal immigrants, scouting forest fires or spotting stranded boaters or hikers." Advanced Ceramics Research has been awarded the Phase I SBIR SBIR Small Business Innovation Research (program/grant) SBIR Space Based Infra-Red SBIR Speaker-Boundary Interference SBIR Site Backsurface-referenced Ideal Plane/Range (silicon wafers) U.S. Navy contact to build and test a Naval 0.5 horsepower ceramic engine with REGI U.S., Inc.
