James Meaden. 43. of this community of almost 3.000 in the corner of the state, created a minor sensation during the weekend with the rotary engine he displayed at the 10th annual Minnesota Inventors Congress in Redwood Falls. 50 percent comptete.

It is the Mazda rotary driven car from Japan. imported Meaden admits the Wankel engine gave hint the enthusiasm he needed to gat started on his rotary project, which had been on his mind for the past eight years. 1 just didnt think the Wankel was the full answer. Meaden said. Ive tried to build an engine that would create all of its own power without added engines. The Wankei is restricted; my engine is not restricted. One of the major advantages of Meadens rotary over the Wankel is pow er, he explained. My engine can basically produce unlimited power. 1 can create the equivalent of the Meaden said.

Escalators for the mall also are being installed. Heavy equipment for heating and cooling the enclosed mall complex is in place. This includes four chillers for the air conditioning and four hot water generators for heating. These units will serve, in addition to the mall, the new American Savings and Loan and the Western Savings and Loan buildings, Christiansen said. The heat generators will be with fuel oil standby capacity. A computer will control the temperatures throughout the centor. The working model displayed this past weekend had 312 cubic inches and weighed, minus the flywheel, about 135 pounds. It is roughly equivalent to a conventional piston driven car engine. However, such a conventional piston engine of equal power would weigh between 350 and 400 pounds. Meaden said. The rotary engine is so light, you could virtually carry a spare aroundVith you in the trunk. Meaden said. Rotary engines of the Wankel parent have experienced some undesireable side effects along the good features. One of these unwanted extras is a fairly high pollution level. Meaden says he is not sure at this point what pollution problems, if any. if any, his engine may have because he has only had the machine in running order for three weeks! However, he indicated he didn't feel there would be any major problems working potential bugs out of his engine. The rotary seals cause the pollution problems with the Wankel engine. Meaden said, because the rotors dont always hit the cylinder wall flush. 1 dont have those problems with my engine because the seals always hit flush with the walls. This brings up another difference between the Meaden rotary and the Wankel engine. The chamber in which the rotor spins is elliptical with a triangular rotor inside in the Wankel. In Meadens engine the chamber is a perfect circle. , n gas-fire- d down Extending into Jug the , subsurface area are two levels of an automobile parking The terrace in Ai mid-bloc- lower level also will include docks for truck loading deliveries. ; C- - 2 - V- - ' Four additional levels of are to be built immeparking As much of the original to prol above diately cast iron will be retained as is vide a total 2.000-ca- r capacity. possible.

Vi,!''": t M x In the Wankel engine there are three different firing points in the chamber, that is, three points where the sparkplug fires to parallel the power stroke in the conventional engine. The Meaden engine has six different firing points and more ports than the Wankel engine. Meaden says the increased number of firing points at more evenly spaced intervals create a more balanced engine than the Wankel. In addition, the exhaust system is cooler in his engine; Meaden says. The Wankel has been noted for its hot exhaust system. 1 N the-mal- west of the old immediately site.
