THE MOTORS ON THE PALM

ENGINES.The readers of our magazine are familiar according to previous publications the name of the Moscow designer-lover of Alexander Abramov. Despite his advanced age (he is now 85 years old), he continues to be active creative activity. In his home lab many layouts, working models and full-scale models of various mechanisms, including engines. Alexander invented and built dozens of them. Many of the designs are unusual and contain original ideas. But the author does not jealously protect their technological innovations from third-party curious look, but rather generously shares with all who show interest in its development. So this time, inventing and testing a few new arrangements, Alexander makes some of them to the reader’s judgment.

SKIS AND CATERPILLAR

SKIS AND CATERPILLARA bit of history. I’m 48 years old. Twenty years ago with his younger brother built a sled “Idea-2” — material about him was published in the “Modeller-designer” №11 for the year 1991. Later, when I was Director of Заводоуковскоq station of young technicians under my supervision in her circles were made around 20 such structures with different bike engines of Soviet manufacture. I must admit that the construction of the snowmobile largely contributed to assigning me to this position.

THE SMALL TRACTOR FIELD

TRACTOR NARROW FIELDThe word “cultivator” has entered our lexicon relatively recently. In principle it is the same tractor only built on the basis of single-axle chassis and designed to actuate a replaceable mounted and trailed agricultural implements, and controlled by the levers behind the operator. In some cases, when the walk-behind articulated to the truck, he becomes the vehicle and the operator does not go and goes.

“DREAM” – A CAR PRESCHOOLER

Dream… How can she be the child? I was 5 years old. Father Andrewski, the boy next door, buy somewhere a used pedal car (our industry at that time, in my opinion, were not allowed), repair it, and the envy of all the boys of our yard – Andrei proudly unrolls it. Now it is very difficult to convey in words gripped me then feeling. It wasn’t even jealousy, but something more, it was some solar Eclipse, this was the dream of my childhood.

WAVING THE STEERING WHEEL

BEATING THE WHEELThe first test of this bike took place at night. And the winter. And if the first can be explained by the unusual design, then the second — just looking forward to the author’s development: why wait for spring when the snow tract is not worse than asphalt, and test the idea and want their case immediately. Therefore, hardly any of the villagers Dyakonov, in the Tula region, saw the frosty January night their countrymen Ivan Zabashta rolled out and “straddle” the bike. Yes, if I saw anything unusual I would not have noticed. Except for one strange behavior of the cyclist. And indeed, as if testing or demonstrating remarkable strength, he “bent” the wheel down, then unbent his horns, lifting them up. However, not tested the power, and the new manual transmission of the original design, in which I. A. Zabashta tried to avoid many of the shortcomings of other well-known schemes for the transmission on a front wheel. How managed it, tell the author.

MOTORCYCLE ON FOUR WHEELS

MOTORCYCLE ON FOUR WHEELSThe idea is to build a ATV (four wheel motorcycle) developed a long time — needed equipment by means of which the trolley with a load of shabby, fishing for the easy road to go, and just go to family members. And, of course, is to have the satisfaction of creation. Ideas in my head were many, but finances — not a lot, and therefore decided to restrict the construction of zadneprov-tion of the ATV, not all-wheel drive. Thought and the basic technical requirements to future design: among them — the presence of a reverse, no chain — still supposed to use the ATV not on the pavement, but mostly on country roads and also decent power and maintainability. And, of course, low price.

AND FLOAT-MECHANISM

AND FLOAT-MECHANISMTo have Pets in the farm economy, of course, fine, but try to feed them! For many of them forage vegetables — pumpkin, beets, and other succulent forage — you have to shred on a grater.
