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.

“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.

The 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.
