Although it is worth noting that as a result of work are not harmful emissions into the atmosphere (for example, as from automobiles) and useful – to the soil.

COMPACT GEARBOX — PNEUMATIC

COMPACT REDUCER — PNEUMATIC

Pneumatic large diameter low pressure tyres are good drivers of all-terrain vehicles in even the harshest of road conditions. But, working with modern highspeed engines, they require a significant decrease in angular velocity by means of transmission and, consequently, increasing the number of stages of the power transmission, its weight and dimensions. Every Amateur designer in his own way links the transmission. Some are even from multiple gearboxes, linking them together with chain transmission that makes power transmission and cumbersome and unreliable in operation.

“ARCTIC WOLF” IN THE SNOW

ARCTIC WOLFIn recent years, Amateur designers snowmobiles somehow forgotten about the ski-tracked vehicle whose design is thoroughly worked out by dozens of manufacturers in hundreds of models, and prefer a more simple and universal to all-terrain vehicles on low pressure tires.

TWO-WHEELED TOW TRUCK

TWO-WHEELED TOW TRUCK

Motorists know that cars happen such failure when towing on a rope may not (when there is a fault in the steering control, brake system) or impossible (with some damage to the powertrain and running gear).
For such cases I made the tow truck. Loaded a faulty car on her partially — rolled only the front or rear axle. On the trolley can accommodate any passenger car, and transporting him at speeds up to 30 km/h.

Besides simplicity, the main advantages of Cycling, this is a pleasure velokolyaska before its progenitor and advantages, the main of which — good stability in motion and at stops and comfortable as in the car fit the driver. The prototype was recumbent, published in the “Modeller-designer” № 9’2000 But it’s a pretty complex space frame, two-wheel drive and steering made me think about how to simplify these nodes and make the car easier. I think that the goal was achieved and even receive a copyright certificate for the prototype.
