First a few words about yourself and a situation in which I found myself by fate. It all started with the fact that at the time of the motorcycle accident I received a severe spinal injury with spinal cord injury. Unfortunately, I did not immediately, but two months after the injury. In the end, total paralysis of the body from the shoulder blades and down to the heels. The rest of my life I was destined to spend in bed or in a wheelchair. And I was, when I broke down, only 26…
NO STROLLER, AND MOTOCICLO
Of most interest to the weather reports for tomorrow show… motorcyclists. Indeed, unexpected rain or, God forbid, snow transform trips on a two – or three-wheeled cars in torment. While it is not so much the driver (he knew what was going on, getting open to all the elements the car), how many passengers. Even in a side trailer can’t hide him from the weather troubles. That is why many motorcyclists are trying to solve this problem, creating on the basis of the serial side of the trailer closed cockpit with a particular level of comfort.
It so happened that almost all the children’s toys with a muscular drive — pedal cars, maps, bikes — designed for use in main leg muscles. And almost none of these machines work the muscles of the hands. It is in vain, since the movements resembling, for example, rowing, at the same time would be included the muscles of the arms, shoulders and back. Such actions also contributed to active pulmonary ventilation. All this prompted me to design and fabricate for my son “Roller”-muskurahat with manual transmission.
The work of our circle of technical creativity at the Polytechnic of light industry does the city have repeatedly told on the pages of “M-K.” At the last such publication number 2 for the year 1989 drew attention to the gas company from the village of Urengoy and Tyumen region appealed to us to develop and manufacture universal all-terrain vehicle. They needed a reliable and easy-to-use machine, with its high traffic, quite comfortable conditions for the members of its crew, as well as buoyancy.
With the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor” I’ve known since high school, often picked up from the magazine interesting ideas, implemented them. Over time, accumulated their own experience, appeared and their development. One of them I want to offer to the readers of “M-K”.
Our laboratory autocostruzione the House of young technicians stand on the court readers of the magazine “M-K” design of a micro-car, only. This time it’s “RUTA” — crew training car.
Is the bright spring sun to drive away the snow from the ice shell, takowego rivers, reservoirs and lakes, as on natural ice tracks immediately appear multi-colored sails. This glider.
For many years now, I constantly write and read the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor”. I was particularly interested in the materials, which describes autocostruzione. But until recently even and could not imagine that I will have a homemade machine. However, with the technique I have been friends since childhood, but the experience of autocostruzione had to acquire in the process of working on the car. All was solved when I got the magazine No. 9 for 1984 with the description of avtomol Stanislaus Chopanova from Yerevan: I understand — that’s what I need. Taking it as a basis, began designing and manufacturing its “jeep”, making changes and additions in accordance with commercially available components and materials. In parallel, the produced arc welder, compressor, original shearing machine of his own design that can cut metal of unlimited length and totally deforming it.
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. However, today few people remember that in the houses built before the war in the kitchens was located built-in wardrobe-fridge, which is a niche in the outer wall, which with a few holes communicating with the outside air and had a thick door with insulation. Of course, this refrigerator was not very reliable: when you thaw frozen foods melted, and in extreme cold turned into ice blocks that freeze should not.
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. Perhaps my thoughts and study will interest readers, come across them on new interesting solutions or at least will help in the technical work.
