ON-ROAD AND OFF-ROAD…

Laureate of Lenin Komsomol prize of student scientific-technical society of the Moscow higher technical school named after N. E. Bauman is one of the oldest in the country. Founded in 1903 N. E. Zhukovsky, the NTO over the years of its existence gave the careers of many famous aircraft designers, scientists, inventors. Good memories most of them left their intended course of development of the NTO, areas for further research, which over time has gained followers, United in independent laboratories, student research centers. Thus, in particular, in 1949, in the scientific and technical society has a new creative division of student design Bureau, which from the very first days of its existence began to work closely with the production, scientific-research institutes. With the expansion of subjects, which was engaged by SKB, it created all new laboratory, a new student design teams.

 

1966 the make consider stage — then to better coordinate activities of individual departments SKB they were United in a single design, research and experimental complex — student design Bureau.

 

The Union was soon fully justified — it is allowed to take on serious and major development projects that were previously beyond the ability of individual design office. Currently SDO is a lot of work to create new technology, original design of mechanisms and machines. Including underwater remote-controlled robot it moves in water on wheels, in which are embedded electric motors. The hand of the robot, however, is only one, but with the help of such manipulator apparatus can perform a variety of underwater work is to take samples of bottom rocks to make simple repair operation.

 

I want to mention a series of equipment intended for athletes of Olympic class. These devices are packaged with the instrument, removing the biomedical indicators of the athlete. Each simulator is a device that provides feedback between the load, which is in the process of training has to overcome man, and biomedical indicators. For example, if suddenly quickens the pulse or significantly increased blood pressure, the device delivers a command to the simulator, and the load is reduced accordingly, which in the end will stabilize the main parameters of the physical condition of the person.

One of the most interesting units SPKB — laboratory transport systems. As the name suggests, its main task — the design of transport vehicles with the original propeller, wave, walking, flap wheels. Some of them readers are probably familiar (they were exhibited at the Central exhibitions NTTM-76, NTTM-78) in our publications about the work of the laboratory of transport systems. And here at the exhibition NTTM-80 we see a new creative design Bauman — six-wheeled “jigger”.

It would be an exaggeration to say that a car of this class — the invention of the laboratory. But all resemblance “jigger” Bauman is significantly different from the prototype — design and technological innovations developed by LTS, the careful thoughtfulness of the layout, gorgeous appearance. With all the work on a machine was a great school for students of MVTU named after N. E. Bauman is also a great research and experimental creative research students, and dozens of course and diploma projects on the development of individual components of all-terrain vehicle.

 

And I must say, the car is “held”. It concentrated a rational choice of parameters of the basic units — engine, propeller, V-belt variator and its simple and yet superb design, which consists not only in the appropriateness and strictness of its forms, are effectively combined with their adaptability, reproducibility.

 

Today we acquaint readers with the new “jigger”. I hope he will become a prototype for future designs in clubs, and at stations of young technicians, and even home workshops.
