On the opposite slope of the ravine, where a tower stretching up gold under the bright winter sun the trunks of the pine trees, down the skier. He rolls down the fresh, the night fell and now fluffy clean snow. Here he turned sharply across the slope, holding up a snowy trail, I stopped for a second. And down again again towards. Steep sharp turns, dive and stop. Skiing will not do so, even on the mountain, even on a solid Naste. Yes and it is something special — that a back, face to the slope. Everything he gets is free and easy, only one little tilt of the body, it seems almost effortless…
Motorsport fans have long been familiar with the term “rally”. He is known and automodellista-skorostyam is one of the competitions cord racing models, in which miniature cars shall adhere to the set speed. And in the near future the word “rally” will appear in the lexicon of car designers-copies.
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.
In the GDR skiing designed the lift with a drum on which is wound a pull cable. To do the same, you will need a moped engine with a working volume of 50 cm3, its exhaust transmission from the motor car, homemade rope drum and band brake to it.
A 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 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.
We in the circle of technical design Orsk city Palace of pioneers and schoolchildren is a homemade micro-car, only cards. Drive one of the older boys, they are machine fit like a glove. For younger this cards great: feet not reaching the pedals. And other machines not yet built. How to be?
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.
The 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.
