NEWS RELEASE
REGI U.S., Inc. (“REGI” or “RGUS”)
Reg Technologies Inc. (“Reg” or “RRE.V” or “REGRF”)
REGI U.S., INC. / REG TECHNOLOGIES INC. RELEASE
RADMAX™ PROGRESS UPDATE
For Immediate Release: March 31, 2010. Vancouver, BC – REGI U.S., Inc. (OTC BB:
RGUS, Frankfurt Stock Exchange: RGJ) and Reg Technologies Inc. (TSX Venture
Exchange: RRE.V, OTC BB: REGRF) are pleased to release the RadMax™ Diesel
Engine Design progress update.
Phase 1: Conceptual Design, and Phase 2: Preliminary Design are now complete. We
are now executing Phase 3: Detail Design.
As previously described in our November 13, 2009 Press Release, we are nearing the
completion of a significant milestone of the Belcan Engineering review of the prototype
engine design, which was estimated at 6 months.
The actions completed are as follows:
• Retain Belcan as an independent engineering analysis organization to provide
independent validation of all RadMax™ design elements: functions, tolerances,
and material selections
• Verify environmental conditions (temperatures, pressures, centrifugal forces,
etc.)
Actions that are continuing include:
• Identify components that require detail stress analysis
• Perform complete integration of all components and evaluate their performance
and strength under non- operating and operating conditions.
We have conducted a technical engineering interchange meeting with Belcan for the
thermodynamics analysis portion. A final report has been jointly prepared and submitted
to the Fortune 1000 company for review. A mutli-company thermodynamics review is
planned for mid April.
The thermodynamics report includes recommendations for RadMax™ Engine materials,
thicknesses, tolerances, and coatings. One specific recommendation is to fabricate the
cam using lighter weight materials to take advantage of its improved thermal
conductivity.
Near-term program milestones include:
• Completion of Belcan Engineering review of mechanical components, bearings,
and lubrication – approx. 3 additional months
• Review and Approval by the Fortune 1000 Company – approx. 30 days
• Fabrication of the prototype engine – approx. 3 months
• Initial prototype testing – approx. 3 months
Robert Grisar, Vice President of Engineering, reports, “The Belcan review of the
RadMax® design is progressing on schedule as planned. We are extremely pleased with
the expertise that Belcan is contributing to the robustness of the RadMax™ design.

ABOUT REGI U.S., INC. AND REG TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Reg Technologies Inc. and REGI U.S., Inc. are developing for commercialization an
improved axial vane type rotary engine known as the Rand Cam™/RadMax™ rotary
technology used in the revolutionary design of lightweight and high efficiency engines,
compressors and pumps. The RadMax™ 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™ engine also has multi-fuel capabilities allowing it to operate on fuels including
gasoline, natural gas, hydrogen, propane and diesel. REGI U.S., Inc. and its parent
company, Reg Technologies Inc., are currently designing and testing prototype
RadMax™ diesel engines, compressors and pumps intended for aviation, automotive,
industrial processes and military applications. For more information, please visit
