Design

Komsomol construction project of the century called the Baikal-Amur mainline, the first group of builders which came here directly from the XVII Congress of the Komsomol. And today from all over the country to impact the construction site go to the envoys of the League, comes appliances. Go further miles of railroad tracks, and the entire path will reach 3 thousand km with extra: taiga jungle and mountain ranges, permafrost — in the most difficult conditions, requiring not only the labor heroism, but also continuous innovation, bold engineering solutions, modern technology.

DISAPPEARED AS A PROFESSION. It was in the summer months of 1903. Was the construction of the Amur railway. Before the start of the Russo-Japanese war was still six months, but in the air, as they say, smell of gunpowder. People from poverty and landlessness arrived to the far East from the depths of Russia, worked from early morning until late at night: they cut the forest, uprooted stumps, dug and carried in a wheelbarrow the earth, filling the canvas. However, building progressed slowly. Even the strongest and experienced digger can not for the eight-hour working day to remove and shovel shovel more 4-8 cubic meters of soil.

Already 50 years old I am also an Amateur design. In his teenage years did the model. Total built 22 designs and they are all working again on a car trip for 12 years, and tillers “plowed” 25. Other products exploited a year or two, then made them something else.

Teacher Stanislav I. Pozdnyakov from the city of Berezina in the Minsk region, has been building snowmobiles for almost 10 years. He set himself the seemingly narrow task: to make a winter car for use on snow-covered roads — roads and country. In the process, the designer has found some original solutions of individual units. And although the appearance of his car is not very attractive, it is comfortable enough and that the basic, reliable in operation (see photo).

— Look, look — the Martians! surprised and enthusiastically shouted we met the boys when Ruslan, bristling with television and radio antennas, approached the pier. We looked at each other and laughed: indeed, and our boat, and ourselves, dressed in black suits with bright yellow bands were like aliens.

Powertrain with a CVT from a snowmobile “Buran”. His power even enough that the ATV can tow a sled with firewood on the snow. Bridges, box: transfer case and change gear, the propeller shafts from the car “Niva”.

The inhabitants of the city of Valdai in the Novgorod region, V. Berezhnoy country the site is located near the city limits, on the Western shore of the lake Highly the bottom. From the house — half an hour walking speed. Therefore, Victor D. tries all year round spend free time on the site, clean air.
