Every year with the arrival of winter in edition beginning to receive letters in which readers expressed legitimate confusion about unreasonable, in their view, the energy consumption of household refrigerators. Indeed, at a time when the window — bitter frost home refrigerator with a rumbling absorb all the new kilowatt hours of electricity to lower the temperature inside the refrigeration Cabinet two to five degrees Celsius and inside the “freezer” — to minus ten or fifteen.

After reading in the “M-To” article V. Sedov, “the Trailer for “Jupiter” I thought that the exchange of experiences, ideas and technical solutions encourages and facilitates the work of Amateur designers.

For many years I am a regular subscriber of “M-A” and find in it many interesting and necessary. I hope that my experience will be useful to other readers: I would like to share my thoughts and practical recommendations regarding the manufacture and operation of a tandem bike. A car I made on their own five years ago and drove it for thousands of kilometers.
The desire to make a motorcycle of his own design came to me long ago. From the school years through my hands passed almost all manufactured and domestic models as well as Czech “Java” and “Chezet”. However, none of these machines was not satisfied: I wanted to have something solid, powerful and comfortable.

In short, I needed a motorbike that meets the requirements of class “street”.
Operation of the trike in boreal conditions has a lot of features that should be considered in the design of such specialized aircraft. In particular, taiga del’talet must possess the ability to catch even the small clearing, and when forced landings and at the tops of the trees. The engine of his must differ high reliability, the ability to run effortlessly in the air and on the ground force mi of the pilot. But the staff should have the ability to transform, so that its parts can be had relatively quickly to collect the vehicle, allowing to reach a forced landing to the nearest shelter.
