Practice Amateur autocostruzione, including my personal, shows that wagon layout with the use of wheels with tyre size 5X10 (motorized С3А) provides a very convenient and rational design of little micro-car. That is my “Mikrus”. It is stable, holds the road well, speeds up to 90 km/h the engine under the driver seat and the passenger increases the useful volume, makes the body more succinct. The interior is spacious, seats are arranged, which is convenient for overnight stay and rest. One cannot underestimate the capacious trunk: there is, for example, you can install a baby carriage, not looking. In the right corner of the trunk easy to install the battery, and in the bottom of the fuel tank from the car ZAZ-966. Made for the base, they both increase the load on the rear axle, which improves traction of the drive wheels. And convenient access to the engine: the hood folds with the seat, driver and passenger; repairing and explore without leaving the salon. For transportation of bulky goods — TV, washing machine, fridge — enough to move the back seat forward and fold the seatback or delete it. Get a small truck.
MOTOBLOCK WITH A TWIST
I am a reader of “Modeller-designer” for nearly three decades and twenty-five years engaged in technical creativity. Over the years, made a lot of homemade designs, including presented behind tractor with a trailer (I have it already the fifth under the account). He is also about two decades, but working so far. The power unit Read more…



It is no exaggeration to say that the main airframe-the autogyro is the rotor. From the correctness of the profile, from weight, precision, alignment and strength depend on the performance of the gyro. However, non-motorized vehicle on tow behind the car rises only 20 – 30 m. But the flight at this altitude requires mandatory compliance with all previously stated conditions.
This town is located in the Perm region. Called Tchaikovsky. In summer lives of ordinary working life. With the onset of winter is starting to sound a special music. It does not arise immediately: the characteristic sounds are born in one area of town to another. If the musicians try out their instruments. The day came and the orchestra struck up, and will run on a special concert by local residents.
Every year, more reservoirs becomes “closed” for motor boats. What in this case do Amateurs vodnomotornyy tourism? To put their vessels on the joke? In any case! It’s time to recall the sail. Sailing rig can be a real alternative to a rattling, smoky, polluting water bodies with suspended motor.
Every year more and more intensive is the development of remote areas of the country that holds in its bosom untold wealth, so necessary to the national economy. Finding these hiding places of nature, there are numerous exploration party. They travel hundreds and thousands of miles of impassable tundra, cross bogs and swamps not freezing in the harsh winters of the river, deep snow.
The elderly with a sense of humor remember the fun of skiing with the snow slopes on primitive boats — maskoobraznym the kruglyashi of frozen in the old city of wet hay. Or noisy slopes “small bunch” on a normal sledge, from which before it was shot shafts…
Still, as they say, don’t have time to dry the printing ink in the magazine (see “M-K” № 2, 2009) report from Pereslavskogo district of the Yaroslavl region, as a new message — about the craftsmen from the village of Andrianov, nestled on the banks of the river Nerl. At this time, art project, created by the efforts of Evgeny Polukhin, Boris and Alexander Selakovich, is distinguished by its power and more like a wheeled tractor, manufactured at an engineering plant. About scratch from Andrianova says our special correspondent Nikolay Vasilyev.
My walk-behind equipped with two knife cutters, soil processes, and after replacing them on the wheel turns into a tractor trailer truck with capacity up to 300 kg with a weight of 60 kg. the Size of power tillers is also small: height — 800 width 420, length — 1200 mm (with folded handlebar is 600 mm), so it easily fits in the trunk of the car. The engine of the scooter VP-150. The start is a kick starter, gear shift lever.
To the editor of our journal continues to receive many letters from Amateur designers: the interest in such type snowmobile technology among different age groups continues unabated. But the character letters often suggests that many builders begin manufacturing snowmobile, not very clearly imagining that they want to build and what the machine can see the future, why you want to work with. Naturally, because of this allow annoying mistakes, and end up with a design without the desired operational and technical characteristics.
