In the Arctic tundra and in Antarctica, the snow-capped mountain slopes and in the forest most of the year working tirelessly snowmobiles — reliable support person. The combination of a lightweight gasoline engine, V-belt CVT and rubber tracks — that is, essentially, the whole wisdom underlying most of these machines. At first glance, not too difficult combination. But it took a lot of time and labor to make this “Troika” to work together.SHOES FOR MOTOART
In the Arctic tundra and in Antarctica, the snow-capped mountain slopes and in the forest most of the year working tirelessly snowmobiles — reliable support person. The combination of a lightweight gasoline engine, V-belt CVT and rubber tracks — that is, essentially, the whole wisdom underlying most of these machines. At first glance, not too difficult combination. But it took a lot of time and labor to make this “Troika” to work together.
Every year our industry produces more and more cars. Today while driving to meet a man of almost any profession — the engineer, doctor, architect and worker, farmer and teacher. On how to properly operate the vehicle, i.e. when to change the oil, how to choose candles, what to do in case of certain faults, see the respective manuals and instructions. About the little things, facilitate the daily care of the motorist, they write, unfortunately, is not enough. The purpose of this publication is to some extent fill this gap.
The disadvantages road bike in the first place I take them is small compared with the sports speed. But it would be nice to have a universal machine that could confidently move around the track at the same time not yielding at speed on the highway sports. To that end, I put on the bike “Ukraine” of the speed switch (see figures). In the final version of my bike has got five gears: sprocket 48 teeth driven by 21, 19, 17, 15 and 13 teeth. The car has already more than 4000 km of Any of the positive qualities of a road bike she lost, on the contrary, lowering the first transfer of the eased motion on the lane. The speed on the highway has increased significantly.
In recent years, increasingly popular among young people acquires a new exciting sport, something akin to the classic surf art of the slide with the crest of the wave on the Board. It is also used Board, however, somewhat smaller. At its bottom secured four rubber-coated roller. As you’ve probably guessed, the slide on this Board with ocean waves and asphalt, using the natural slope.
George S. khokhlachov — military retiree, he was 77 years old. My entire adult life, he enthusiastically engaged in technical creativity: innovative work, radio, photos and much more. In their tireless search for homebrew regularly refers to the publications in scientific and popular journals, including the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”. One of his last works G. S. khokhlachov decided to present the readers of our magazine: “the Last two years, I was fascinated by the design of the recumbent. From the book A. S. Popolove “let’s invent a recumbent” as a prototype of the selected “Springmail” N. Kudrin and V. Schipacheva. The frame design and General arrangement have not undergone significant changes, but the drive turned out, from my point of view, original and, I think, may interest the readers of the magazine and fans of velomobiles”.
Increasingly, in an editorial post meet the voluminous packages of drawings and descriptions of improvised microvesicles. Their fundamental difference from development of previous years — a successful combination in the construction standard and improvised units. The second important detail — the sharp improvement in appearance, a bold design decision.
I’m a longtime reader and a regular subscriber of your magazine. Send in edition of a photo made by me Motovilova, which often make field trips to set the mood… Motofloor, which was called “Shaitan-Arba”, produced from aggregates and a old moped and bicycles. The feature of structures is that both the rear (napadovska) the wheels of Motovilovka leading, and the right is driven in rotation by the engine D6, and the left pedal, through a separate chain drive.
To create a device is simple, inexpensive to perform and at the same time with high performance — such is the aim of gliders. We offer our readers the description is very promising glider “Albatros” open class, created by Moscow engineer A. Z. by rabanim in early 1978. This device has been widely tested and has a high aerodynamic qualities. From other phones open class “Albatross” stands simple design (all tube frame straight), in combination with precise profiling of the dome, which provides pre-curved armor combined type (front — hard, back — elastic). The frame of the Albatross allows you to apply domes of different shapes and size without any alterations and additional adjustments.
Readers of “M-K” have already had the opportunity to meet with a student design Bureau Mari Polytechnic Institute (see No. 8, 1977). This team is many years engaged in the original design of snowmobiles, including many snowmobiles amphibians. During the time elapsed after the publication at SKB have developed two more such machines.
