Camber angles and toe of the car very accurately can be adjusted, without resorting to service stations. We just need to have some plumbing skills and to have the simplest tool to their own to make for this adjustment tool kit, which is easy and convenient performance. Consider, for example, the variant with the car VAZ-21063. The distance between the centres of the footprint of the tire on the ground — 1365 mm. If through these points to carry forward in the course of movement of the vehicle two parallel lines, then they could become benchmarks for subsequent adjustments. However, it is impossible to carry: the protruding part of the side surfaces of the car will be a hindrance. Hence the need for these parallel lines to hold at some distance from the vehicle. To make that possible with the devices, which can be called a protractor.
THE WHEELS UNDER CONTROL
For a start I suggest the readers-to motorists to conduct a little experiment. Once outside the town, stop by high-speed stretch of highway and watch whizzing past you cars. However, here you need not to watch but rather to listen. A quarter of an hour you will learn to distinguish aurally, the main types of cars: a sound portrait of the major role played by a characteristic noise of the flow over the body. But here comes a car with a roof rack and audio, the picture changes dramatically. The impression is that the car literally pushes through the dense unyielding environment. By the way, the impression is confirmed by experiments in wind tunnels. Purge models and full-size cars with roof racks have shown that increases dramatically the so-called Cx is the drag coefficient. But it depends on the speed and fuel consumption.
It is well known that the wind fairing is not a tribute to the motorcycle fashion, and not only protect the rider from the cold and dirt. A well designed shield can increase the speed with two-wheeled machines due to the reduction of aerodynamic drag. But the appearance of the motorcycle fairing attaches to consistency and completeness: the motor vehicle acquires its own entity, releasing the car in several thousand likes.
Growing every year in our country, the number of motorists. For many of them the car is not only a means of transport, recreation, but also technical creativity. It would seem, than still it is possible to add, improve released in a modern plant the design of a brand new car! But for the curious enthusiast with skillful hands here even boundless field of activity. To them and turned a new section of our magazine “Car “M-K”.
Three weeks it took me to collect parts of old bikes recumbent double the pleasure type. Rapid wedge-shaped profile suggested a name for the new machine — a “Sail”. It turned out onlinefreeroll, easy and strong enough. Low rise creates a purely automotive sense of speed, elongated frame and padded seat well conceal the tremors of the bumps in the road.
In a snowmobile “Blizzard”, which I constructed based on many developments, published in “M-K”, merged circuit elements of classic motoart, “amfitriti”, the snow. pneumona and aerolis, that is, almost all the famous trails of mechanisms. However, my vehicle can not be assigned to any of these groups — it’s the combination motorolaring propeller and skis, which is the driver. So I called my snowmobile motoliam. The ka drive them really very similar to the usual walk on the wads, because the driver drives a snowmobile standing up. Experience of its operation showed that the scheme has a number of advantages: high flexibility and good permeability at quite a satisfactory speed — up to 15-25 km h
The idea is to make motonarty, so that they could ride on soft snow, took possession of me for a long time, fifteen years ago. But to get to work in no hurry, carefully pondered, what I would like to see your snowmobile. So gradually the mind has developed a structural diagram of a propulsion device in the form of two blocks of the ski, light surrounded the track.
The beginning of this century has given mankind many inventions. Stunned by the enormous speed of technological progress, people do not have time to get used to the newfangled term “car” as they were attacked with even more new “airplane.” And cost them to get used to, for example, the word “phone” as we had to learn the concept of “wireless telegraphy”. 1904 was the date of birth of another device, which later received widespread. That’s about it, in 1905, reported in the journal “the Balloonist”, calling it a “sled with air band for movement through the snow”. Was mentioned and the author of the design — engineer of the S. S. Nezhdanovskoe.
For anybody not a secret that such popular transport motonarty little when you need to go s journey through new-fallen loose snow. “How to reduce the specific pressure ka soil, retaining the basic thrust performance?” — with such question has addressed to the editorial office equipment the snowmobile enthusiasts from the city of Zlatoust, Chelyabinsk region, and a number of other readers.
