FOR ANY ROAD

ANY ROADThis car, dubbed “Lyuga-750”, I designed and built quite independently, and this helped me a lot in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”. The process of creating a car lasted about two years, and for several years operated it quite successfully. Of course, the first trip revealed a lot of shortcomings, but they are quickly eliminated, and the machine was updated and improved. Not long ago, the car passed state tests and technical inspection and was found fit for use.

SELF-MOVING STROLLER

SELF-MOVING STROLLERSincerely hope that this vehicle will never need you. But this does not mean that it does not need anyone. There are many people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, or simply are not able to move independently. Meanwhile, in many cases, the position of the immobilized people can be considerably easier with the help of a self-propelled chair. We offer a simplified version of this design. For the creation of such a vehicle for those in need could come from technical clubs and cooperatives, small and large businesses, and for funding numerous charities.

SCHOOL AIRCRAFT

SCHOOL.You decide to build an airplane. And immediately before you the first issue – what will it be? Single or double? Often it depends on capacity of the engine, availability of necessary materials and tools, as well as the size of the “Angara” for the construction and storage of the aircraft. And in most cases the designer has to opt for a single aircraft type training.

THE CAR IS A DREAM

THE CAR-DREAMIf “Attesi-TX” able to enchant you just the same as at the time, and me, I think I may be able to help you make this very simple, compact and as a result, cheap and affordable car. “Attesi-TX” is a double two-door car with the engine of the T-200M working volume of 200 cm3 and a power of about 14 BHP Machine four-wheel, but the rear wheels close together and the track is much narrower than the front. This is done in order to be able to get rid of the differential, the use of which significantly increases the cost and weight machine.

BUER FOR TRAVEL

BUER FOR TRAVELThe idea is to use the wind power to travel across the icy spaces of the winter Binala I have cherished for a very long time. Even tried to develop a special Buer, tested his design on models. But the final decision was made when I heard that a similar trip was made in 1982, the band of the Moscow Berestov. We have set ourselves a task: to pass a frozen lake, with its southern tip to the North. A preliminary analysis of the conditions of the voyage showed that the ice, along with open spaces on the lake meet and snowy places. In addition, the ice surface is not always perfectly smooth, although there are literally mirror sites. And another thing: often the ice is broken stenovymi with cracks, paths with high piles of ice — hummocks.

WALKING RECUMBENT

RECREATIONAL RECUMBENTOne of the main sources of environmental pollution is the vehicles. Therefore, constructors have a natural desire to create alternative, environmentally friendly means of transportation, which fully applies and recumbent. As the basis of its development, we adopted the design of the velomobile V. Mazurchak (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 10 of 1987). But the technical capabilities are not allowed to repeat the machine one to one, we are particular to this and not sought. Besides, from the point of view of “strength scientists”, analog velomobile is, in our opinion, not very successful scheme of loading the important elements: the junction of the front and rear parts of the frame and the axis of the rear wheels, which can cause breakage of parts or assemblies during operation. But I wanted to make the car reliable (and therefore is durable) and thus to meet at least 20 kg of weight. The velomobile was to have such dimensions that enable it to pass under a standard door of the apartment and fit in a regular (not cargo) lift. Well, that was easy to transport and store, wanted to make it more collapsible.

“SLALOM” SLALOM

Someone had to ride on a sled, knows that the particular manoeuvrability from them should not wait: in the best case they can be deployed on a steep slope, but changing the direction of movement of the sled is not easy. Meanwhile, the sportsman-the mountain skier could turn with ease. And the reason that skier unlike the Luger can tilt the skis: relying on steel edges, they can easily enter the curve, allowing the athlete to move on their chosen path.

SKIING IN THE SAIL

SKIING IN THE SAILThe desire to ski “with the wind” makes us resourceful athletes to invent a new sport: racing on skis towed behind a motorcycle (skijoring), boat and even horse. Today, it seems we are on the verge of “opening” another form of skiing-a tow sport where the athlete has to match the skills of the skier with the ability to manage a sailboat on the tires with very low pressure. Such towing is already popular among fans of winter tourism, as they allow us to travel long distances without special effort on the part of the athlete.

DELTA – TOP COMPACT

our Readers probably know of noma abbreviation TX-200. It is the tan called autocritic original design created by the famous in the circles of avtomodelistov Kharkiv V. Taranukha, in collaboration with the candidate of technical Sciences Y. Hajnowski. Creative Union of theory and practice turned out to be quite fruitful. Today we introduce readers to one of the most interesting developments of this magnificent design of the Duo — car railroad layout, created with the extensive use of available and relatively inexpensive units.
