A sack and a canvas kitty (bag with a round bottom) size 550X1400X1450 and 250X1400 mm — that’s what turns the Dinghy, if it is dismantled and Packed for transportation. Compactness has been achieved by making the hull three-piece. Each section may be invested in one another as the well-known “dolls”. This feature fundamentally simplifies transportation of the vessel and allows city residents to keep it in the apartment or on the balcony, even repair right in the room. But overall body length is impressive, more than 4000 mm and width 1400 mm. On this Dinghy you can take hikes of the day off and indulge in tourist travel, to swim in shallow water, Wade in the reeds. And although the contours it is designed for light wind and sailing with a full load, capacity of the Dinghy (about 300 kg) allows to accommodate a crew of two to three people, it is well withstand a wave height of two feet and wind speed in the gusts of 4-5 points.
Design
VELOKART OF “EAGLET”
“Eaglet” designed and built in a circle “Young technician” Vitebsk oblsud. It is intended for initial 0бучения driving preschool and primary school children in avtogorodok. Organically combining the advantages of map and bike “Eaglet” has good stability and handling, good speed, and also involves simple design, and low noise.
THE IDEA WAS INSPIRED BY “THE KID”
How easy and looks elegant sailboats on the water! Racing “the Flying Dutchman” and “Dragons,” recreational tourist “Gonna” and “Nephritis”. And here on the coast they lost these attractive qualities: even the rapid windsurfer — the smallest of them turns into a heavy Board, which is difficult to carry, inconvenient to carry, and most importantly, do not know where to store after the summer season. As for their construction, even the easiest surfer to make yourself is not everyone’s strength.
MINI AIR COMPRESSOR FROM FRIDGE
For the qualitative and rapid painting using airbrushes and spray guns, for many other works in the home Studio suitable table mini-compressor which can be assembled from the compressor unit of the refrigerator. Moreover, it is not necessary to use the new host is quite good and with a clogged pump valves. The main thing – would be a good motor. And you can check it easily before disassembly – using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance of starting and working windings (respectively 5 and 20 Ohms).
CRUSHER FOR GRAIN
Do not rush to dispose of old vacuum cleaner: the motor will serve to drive crusher — indispensable assistant in the preparation of feed for poultry and other domestic animals. The principle of operation of the devices is the same as the electric coffee grinder: swivel high speed metal plate — knife slices through the grain for as long as their value will not be less than the mesh size.
“JEEP” – SIMPLY AND RELIABLY
Residents of the Armenian capital like cars and know a lot about them. This convinced us to visit Yerevan streets with design engineer ERISA by Stanislav Hopenosis on his makeshift Rover. Wherever we stayed, immediately gathered around the curious passers-by. Followed inevitable in such cases, the questions: what? how? from what? Stanislav patiently answered. For three years from the date of first departure on the new machine, he was used to these “press conferences”.
POLYMETA ON THE FIELD
In different areas of our country the soil was treated in different ways. Soil and climatic characteristics, natural, imprint and on the design of small tools, which are developed by the owners of household plots. Some building microfracture and tillers, designed for the use of the plow, others motorize.
TRAILER CLAMSHELL
I was interested in the design described in the article “Trailer-bedroom” (“M-K” № 9, 1984). The idea is to place in the trailer the whole living room is very tempting. However, the more attractive I see it is not collapsible, and folding wagon. Capacious, Assembly-lifting this camper does not take much time, and the Parking lot can not be detached from the vehicle. Two beds on the spacious side drawers sofas, which are placed in the bedding, additional adjustable shelves-beds and small-sized gas stove with cylinders, bedside table — all this provides a comfortable stay while traveling.
“DIPLOMAT” FOR INFLATABLE
Free time, whether it is a holiday or weekend, we as a family try to spend Hiking: Hiking and Biking, road and water. Visited the Baltic States, Karelia, the Crimea, the Caucasus, in the steppes of Azov. In fifteen years of travel we have accumulated some stock of design discoveries helping to resolve problems often faced by tourists. One of them have. I would like to share.
THIS CAR
Residents of the city of Togliatti not easy to surprise a new car. In their streets they first meet a prospective model of the Volga car, the new foreign firms. But wherever there was a miniature yellow car with a funny name “the Gingerbread man”, he attracts the attention of passers-by and motorists. And after transfer can be where the design was presented to the multimillion audience, interest in it increased even more.
