REGI U.S., Inc./Reg Technologies, Inc. Announce Successful Combustion Test Completed with Rand Cam Engine New Vane Design

Business Wire, April 19, 2005

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- REGI U.S., Inc. (OTCBB:RGUS)/Reg Technologies, Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange:RRE)(OTCBB:REGRF) has received confirmation that Shane Kabish, a rotary engine specialist and our consultant for the testing and development for the Rand Cam(TM) engine, has completed several successful, continuous combustion tests using gasoline fuel. The series of tests took place at SNK's facilities, in Richmond, BC, on April 14, 2005, with starter speed of up to 490 RPM, utilizing a unique vane design that does not require vane tip seals. Brian Cherry, our consultant and co-inventor for the Rand Cam(TM) engine, states, "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(TM) 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(TM) rotary technology. The engine is a light weight 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 revolutionary design makes it possible to produce a total of 24 continuous power impulses per one rotation that is vibration-free and extremely quiet. The Rand Cam(TM) 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(TM) diesel engine for a generator application for hybrid electric cars. Additionally, our licensee for the 42 H.P. production model diesel Rand Cam(TM) is currently completing the engine for unmanned aerial applications for the U.S. military.
