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.

PRISTINA… TO THE BIKE

PRISTINA TO THE BIKE...It all started with the fact that we are a young childless family bought two “Kama” and became interested in Cycling. With the birth of his daughter had to solve the task: how to travel together? Did a little chair, and set it on the rear trunk. It has served us faithfully for several years But the daughter grew up, and sit in the car seat she was cramped, uncomfortable, the idea of creation of easy folding, durable enough trailer stroller, quickly attachable to the bike.

THE COMPRESSOR FROM THE FRIDGE

THE COMPRESSOR FROM THE FRIDGE

Dostoinstvo spray gun is known: it provides high-quality coverage. In addition, to achieve smooth transitions from one color or tone into another is possible only by spraying. And for that you must have in a home workshop air compressor. It will not idle and after apartment, and will be useful for inflating chambers of the bike and car, spray fertilizers on the garden soil.
Not necessarily the purchase. I read once in the “Modeller-designer”, because of the refrigeration unit, overage, you can make compressor. It said on the construction of serviceable electric motor. I also got burnt. So had to settle for a piston mechanism. To remove it, cut the casing in two places with a hacksaw. Then by unscrewing the four mounting bolts, removed one side of the stator and the pump rotor. Because the rotor is no longer needed, he was knocked to the crankshaft.

PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE BIKE

EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE BIKEAssociate Professor of the Department “Technology of mechanical engineering” of the Mari state technical University M. L. Popov, having a great experience with Bicycle sport, sent a letter to the editor which described and theoretically substantiated his view on the problem of improving the reliability of the bearing unit of the carriage. Today we publish only constructive and technological proposal of the author. More than 20 years of experience continuous all-weather and all-season operation of my bike model-542 “Sport” issued in 1974, the total mileage of which amounted to about 100 thousand km, as well as analysis diary entries have led to the conclusion that the bottom bracket for reliability is in fourth place after floreina, driven sprocket and drive chain.

“LASONIC” FROM CHEBOKSARY

Double car “Alison-nick-2” specially constructed for movement in urban environments. Therefore, before designing, I have formulated the main requirements that had to meet the future machine: small size, minimal curb weight and high agility combined with good stability on the road. Having some experience in the construction of all-terrain vehicle (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 10, 1996) on the basis of design from Yerevan S. Chopanova, decided to apply it here.
