In this issue we introduce young innovators, participants of operation “the Introduction” with an unusual method of drying developed in Nikolaev. At our request about it, say the authors of this new technology, which not only shortens the production cycle, but also provides high quality wood.
Our magazine has repeatedly written about the works of children’s technical club at HCS Institute of inorganic materials, which for many years was headed by engineer A. S. Abramov. Here young designers have created many original vehicles from using the bike and boat engines.
Student scientific-technical conference of faculty road cars of the Moscow motor-road University this year attracted the attention not only of students and teachers, but also industry representatives. Still, many reports of young researchers it was about issues of importance to the national economy.
Doctor of technical Sciences Professor A. G. Ignatov enthusiasts of technical creativity known as the author of a number of original designs of micro cars, party contests and demonstration runs of homemade vehicles. The appearance created machines always arouses keen interest. Not to say that these designs are technically refined or Shine external perfection. Far from it: Professor A. G. Ignatov always strives to use the most available materials, but to get the maximum beneficial effect. Here is his own formulation: “I need mechanical undemanding pet. Unpretentious, like a mule. Avtomol. Perhaps better not say. Don’t need beauty need high performance, reliability and endurance. Don’t need comfort — I need the utility and simplicity of management. Don’t need high-quality and expensive finish you need a good resistance y resistance of coatings, requiring minimal maintenance and expenditure on maintenance and repairs.”
“Born, live and work in rural areas, writes to the editor our reader N. Kurbatov from the village of Borisovka-2 Belgorod region. Since his school years always was doing something: model ships, planes, although no tools (except a pen knife), no literature on this subject at that time was not.
Amateur designers often begin construction of the car, relying only on intuition, without any calculations. Most often in such cases the performance of the machine be not the such of any wanted the Creator, and the individual components break or wear out quickly.
Our magazine has repeatedly written about Krasnodar, Stavropol, Ural tractors, motologic, milling rippers, electrocore created in the circles of young technicians. These machines — good support and on the school grounds, and on experimental plots and in the field.
When vehicle type is defined: scheduled its approximate dimensions, weight, number of seats in the back, the engine, comes perhaps the most important stage of design development of the layout. Layout is the overall structure, and relative position of all parts of the structure. It would seem that a depot purely technical: linking dimensions, calculation of loads and so on. But no, it starts not with the mechanisms and numbers.
About the miracles did not suspect in a small garden cooperative near Bryansk. We gardeners in mind one thing: get the water from wells. In the heat of all able-bodied people are chained down to heavy handles cast iron pumps. Need to download bucket after bucket to water the thirsty seedlings.
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.
