Somehow caught us a description of the six-wheeled Rover “Giger”. The main nodes it was very simple. Absent transmission, driveshaft, rear axle — these, in General, quite complex and heavy assemblies. Small engines — separately for the left and right sides through a V-belt CVT transmit torque with its series of wheels connected by a chain. The supports of the axes of pneumococcal rigidly attached to the body and turns was carried out by adding the engine speed on one side and reduce the speed of the other.

THE SEVEN-SEATER “MOSQUITO”
The car, which will be discussed, began to make acquaintance of mine in the late 1980s, when the automotive abundance was not far off, but we did not yet know. However, as soon as he made the frame with pendants, the enthusiasm waned; I had to continue the construction of the car to me. Having estimated the possibilities, I decided to take this job, especially because experiences in such a case I had earlier today I have restored practically from scrap “Moskvich-401”.
DRYING… MAGNET
In the last issue, we reported on the unusual at first glance, the method of drying wood in the bath water, between the electrodes, the supplied current of industrial frequency. This technology shortens the production cycle and ensures high quality products. However, the method is designed primarily for handling hard wood.
PEDAL SURFER
The windsurfer, like any sailboat needs wind. Meanwhile his body-the float if necessary, you can swim in the calm. In the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” once mentioned about using the body in the rowing version, with two-bladed paddle or with a conventional pair of oars (though in the latter case, had to build a removable frame with a seat and two supports under the oarlocks).
VELOPLIVD WITHOUT “DEAD ZONES”
Improving the efficiency of the drive — a problem which concerned not only the designers of the bikes, but the owners of these cars. Since the invention of the Bicycle pedal drive brought, you might say, to perfection. To improve its efficiency without complicating the mechanism is hardly possible.
BUILDING A CAR
NOT YET — HIS HANDS
To build a car from beginning to end with their hands — a tempting idea, but hardly feasible. The main aggregates should take ready, the serial and only in rare cases to make design changes in accordance with the layout of the car. The main attention should be paid to rational “folding” machines of prefabricated elements, the creation of separate parts and units of chassis and bodies, particularly the body, and in the design of the last is also desirable to use the finished part.
MODERN OF THE OLD…
Machine, about which speech will go, was created as a commercial vehicle, which helps to survive in our difficult time. The car gave me and my son for almost a year. I would like to thank the inspector Gostekhnadzor R. L. Markin. He is also an avid homebrew and a lot of things made with their own hands. And helped us in word and deed.
TRACKED WALK-BEHIND
Built by A. Lomakin and tillers, and not absolutely usual — it with a crawler gear: a variant of its execution is best suited for soil in the garden or in the garden. For this purpose, the cultivator is pivotally odnoimennyi the plow. Depth or elevation of the plow is made by the arm movement up and down, the mount which in this case is attenuated and becomes articulated.
PLOWMAN SLOPING FIELDS
Now, as strengthening the material-technical base of agriculture, in all growth, the challenge to improve its efficiency, to improve all quality indicators. This requires… care about how to allocate state funds and material resources were given highest return to better utilization of internal reserves of the collective farms and state farms. And they, these reserves are.

BEHIND THE WHEEL, NOT LEAVING ROOM
That night Serge went to bed early, not capricious and did not ask to read the book. He immediately closed his eyes and sniffed carefully. But when the house is all quiet, Seryozha got up, put on Slippers and my pajamas, quietly slipped in the door.
