As soon as the first snow fell, it became clear that the house has no need of such cargo winter vehicle as a sled. Child’s sled for a long time “went” on a well-deserved rest in a pile of scrap metal, and weak they would have to carry the heavy loads.
The voice of the motorcycle or moped is familiar to everyone: a sharp and often as machine-gun fire, the crackle of a motor rips the silence, causing the others to flinch. And harmful effects of the exhausts themselves! With the growing number of these machines increases the degree of poisoning of the atmosphere by exhaust gases. 
Imagine you are in class technical schools. Class is in session. Lecturer for the Department sets the course, and the students, as expected, sitting at desks and listening attentively. But here ends the theoretical part, and is unusual in that the teacher, instead of inviting listeners to go to the shop or the lab, asking them to stand in the aisles. Then presses the button on the remote, and the tables as the team descends to the level of the seats. Revved the motor… and rows of tables slowly go under the chair! Fifteen minutes — and the room is free for practice sessions.
Description a three-wheeled tandem, published in the journal (№3, 1979), I liked inherent in it the idea to tandem bike of the usual single, without making major changes to the original design. But the proposed version was not very satisfied: still frame of the second bike had undergone the unwanted interference. I wanted to find a way of articulation, that when there is no need to tandem it was possible to restore the bike to original form.
My snowmobile which I called “Ayavrik”, simple in construction, as intended to overcome huge snowdrifts. I was built for moving from hole to hole for ice fishing on a snow-covered ice, writes Anton from Togliatti. And to the river I am translating it in the trunk “Niva” (by the way it can even fit two Read more…
The sled with the motor for the little ones. Before to introduce the following proposed material, I want to remind small note in No. 2 of our journal in 1979 — “Folding sled”. Because the author of the two designs is the same — our reader from Kazan E. Zakharov. Technical creativity pushed his little boy, who every morning had to carry to kindergarten. A regular sled because it’s bulky to travel with changes in transport are not very good, and E. Zakharov builds original furniture, the type of walking cane-chairs, now enjoys great popularity. Folding sled has interested many of our readers who have decided to make the same: it is not only convenient in use but also during storage.
I confess, the “itch” technical creativity in me woke up still in adolescence. But at that time there was not tangible (money, space) and technical (tools, machinery) base for its implementation. And when, over the years, started to create database, and was able to bring designs in metal. The last one is a pleasure car-like buggy and ATV present a review of the reader.
The country’s economy demands a more versatile, capable of performing several operations simultaneously or transformable vehicles. Very seriously, and most importantly — an inexhaustible invention relate to the creation of advanced machines of its kind in Cute Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. They first wonder how fresh and original ideas in design! And potam admire the elegance and completeness of solution. No wonder the mentors Kutuzov along with making the guys thinking out of the box many time I spend in the formation of their aesthetic taste, sense of harmony.
In the latest issue of our magazine published a series of articles of the group of designers of the gyros about the features of the construction of these helicopters, how to build gyroplanes, how to fly them, towed by boat or car. In this room we talk about the fuselage structure and the governance of the autogyro (or Meropenem, since they are identical).
In the halls of the Central exhibition NTTM, dedicated to the XXVI Congress of the CPSU, it is possible to see many original designs and arrangements, created by young scientists, innovators various sectors of the economy. Is on display and very unusual exhibit — a fragment of a brick house, over which a fortified small drum with a wound on its shaft with tape. This flywheel model of lift is designed for lowering people from a height of 100-150 m in the case of fires or other natural disasters, when the regular elevators stopped because of power-cut. The device can be useful when landing fire landing of a helicopter, for example, on forest fires, when landing is impossible because of the smoke.
