From him the gas tank, wheels, suspension. But the powertrain and drivetrain restored from the motorcycle M-103. Have been successfully combined electrical ignition system of Read more…
From the time of this writing I have built five catamarans of various designs. In designing, building and testing these boats took an active part my friend Anatoly Pavlovich Ignatchenko. Not to say that none of them did not satisfy me. A catamaran with inflatable floats performed well on water the Moscow region, and Lower Volga. But Pneumatics poorly kept shape, which significantly reduced the speed. So the idea arose to build a catamaran with rigid floats.
When I hear the word “dubbed”, it is a sun-drenched Playground, dry asphalt paths, summer-dressed children… unfortunately, autumn, winter and spring avtogorodok contraindicated. What should I do? Where to engage with students?
The apparatus which I have named “aquaplane”, designed for active swimming on the back even for non-swimmers, with stops to rest as on a sun lounger, directly on the water surface.

Some Joker aptly called them “racing soap boxes.” And not without reason. The first truck actually had instead of the body wooden box, attached the wheels, instead steering was a rope connected to the ends of the front axle. Over time, the “racing soap boxes” has gained the rank of all-American Championships, which often have become well designed and carefully made by non-motorised carriages. But their name lived for a long time.
When the designers of trucks “taught” them of the body independently, without other auxiliary mechanisms, to pour onto the ground or into a special hopper delivered to the site loads, some cars received a new name — dump. With the introduction of devices created by the innovators and A. A. Barlevy years ad from SPKTB “Avtospetsoborudovanie”, fвтомобили will be able to do without any additional lifting devices to raise the body intended for transportation of cargo. And may appear by analogy with truck specific name — samagro.
