Description a three-wheeled tandem, published in issue No. 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.
What started karting? In the 30-ies very popular among American boys was competition for non-motorised trolleys moving along slant paths. Some Joker aptly called them “racing soap boxes.” And not without reason. The first truck actually had instead of the body wooden box, attached the wheels, instead steering was a rope connected to the ends of the front axle. Over time, the “racing soap boxes” has gained the rank of all-American Championships, which often have become well designed and carefully made by non-motorised carriages. But their name lived for a long time.
When the designers of trucks “taught” them of the body independently, without other auxiliary mechanisms, to pour onto the ground or into a special hopper delivered to the site loads, some cars received a new name — dump. With the introduction of devices created by the innovators and A. A. Barlevy years ad from SPKTB “Avtospetsoborudovanie”, fвтомобили will be able to do without any additional lifting devices to raise the body intended for transportation of cargo. And may appear by analogy with truck specific name — samagro.
From a young age was fond of technology and like most boys, dreamed of being a pilot. But, like many, for a number of reasons they did not, and acquired the specialty of a mechanic. However, it is also a favorite field for me is not extinguished the desire to somehow get closer to aviation…
Oddly enough, but thirty years ago, humanity knew about what was happening in the depths of the sea, only slightly more than our ancient ancestors. The seabed and for us today — a mysterious, unknown planet, which is known only in General terms, the topography of the atmosphere (the water) Yes, part of living beings.
Getting to the construction of the car, every designer-fan first of all should be clear about what qualities will have conceived the machine. Not to mention the compliance of its current “Technical requirements”, developed the design must meet the financial capabilities of the Builder and the intended operating conditions.
Is not just our magazine led descriptions for the original designs mikrovisatos built as enterprises and companies and Amateur designers. Permanent interest motonarty — individual transport, especially beloved in Northern latitudes. These light lignocaine machines capable to overcome any obstacles snow which bogged down heavier ATVs. However, their “powers” are most visible in winter. During the off-season need other machines.
This question — wittingly or unwittingly — touched the journal, many authors, enthusiasts, Amateur microelementary. They are often not limited to theoretical reasoning, and embodied his ideas in metal, being able to create interesting designs. This process continues: such are the inexorable laws of technological progress. So the answer to the question: “How to be a self-made little micro-car for city driving”?, let’s say, ten years will differ significantly from what we can say today. Many of attendant factors and circumstances — the emergence of new structural materials, new technologies, new operating conditions, the status of energy resources, the evolution of social conditions and much more everyday to change the demands which the life makes to be vehicles of personal (individual) use.
Usually mention the proverbial fifth wheel. However, some automakers use a formula, reflected in the name of our material. They really believe the fourth wheel in the car superfluous. Judge for yourself: unlike a four-legged three-legged stool on an uneven base does not wobble (remember school: three points can be spend a plane, and thus only one). Consequently, the frame “trehalase” will be more rigid and the car will be more lightweight and durable (and hence cheaper).
On the roads of Kharkiv, there was one car with the familiar letters of the COI — “Club eternal”. The automotive laboratory of the centre of scientific and technical work is headed by the laureate of many competitions NTTM Valerie L. Taranukha. This time in the neighborhood of the letters KVP caused the index of the TX-200. And the car, unlike all previous is built via a three-wheeled configuration, using the whole back of the scooter T-200. In this part is the main “rational” of the new machine, created the “Club of the eternal search for” V. L. Taranukha, together with the candidate of technical Sciences Y. S. Hojnowski. Hence the index — TX-200.
