On a conventional two-wheeled Bicycle much gear not to take, even if it is equipped with a trunk. Meanwhile, the need from owners of these machines frequently. It is therefore advisable to make to the bike trailer.On the construction of such a two-wheeled trailer said Zbigniew Hyun-nel and Andrew Fedoruk in the Polish magazine “Mlody TECHNIK”, article from which prepared this publication.
The snowmobile, which, the story goes, collected the tenth-grader Sergey Sorokin from the Altai village of Ust-Kamenka. This is not surprising. Equipment guy is fond of since childhood – for eight years, he has been in the CCC (children’s creativity Center) to the circle of “Small appliances”. In a compilation of drawings and design layout and transmission schemes of machine assisted group leader Viktor Aleksandrovich Kurbatov. Responsible welding works helped to run his father – Boris Andreevich. Everything else until the processing of parts on machine tools, has fulfilled himself. In total, Sergei built a snowmobile for about a year, the Assembly took almost four months, from autumn to spring. And until the snow melted, I managed it only to test, “Ispahan” everything drifts around the house. But now revealed some shortcomings, which for the next season is going to be eliminated.
In the summer the motorcycle “Minsk” served me faithfully, like the fairytale the little humpbacked horse. In autumn and winter, due to the off-road, it idled, though the need for movement over long distances and in that time I was no less. That’s when I decided to make him an ATV, but which if necessary could again transform the bike. Thumbing through the binder of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” for a dozen years, found few publications on this subject that helped to define the schema of the vehicle and design of main components. Useful and previous experience of technical creativity. Required tools and equipment, which are available at many homebrew, I had the welding and machine, and even a small lathe with a fixture that allows you to perform the milling operation.
No, probably none of the citizens who would not love to go fishing, mushroom picking, picnics. Rural residents are outdoors more often. And not just for fun: harvesting, haying, firewood and local building materials… However, regardless of what goals each entering of a dwelling, be it a city apartment or a rural house in the field, where he started to think of how to improve the conditions of his stay in the fresh air?
It all started long ago, with one of the publications in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 5 of 1981, a binder which we keep, and from time to time viewed. In the article it was about the alteration of the outboard motor “hi-22” with water cooling for air. This upgrade gave us the idea to use a similar engine to create a snowmobile as a motor, although not new, we have had, and the need for such a machine was considerable. A good helper, the magazine has become and also, the design of the snowmobile.
In a country HOMESTEAD or farm, however small, any mechanized cargo vehicle can help a lot. It helps to save money and power. Of course, when it is simple and reliable. Preferably, the machine was small in size for maneuverability and had the power (even at the expense of speed). Permeability it should also be on top. Road on not very much welcomes the emergence of these self-made vans on the highway, so their destiny is mostly unpaved country roads. As a rule, on such roads, two clear of the track (after all, they don’t even profile), so they wheeled transportation vehicles (“ants”, power tillers with trailers is the most affordable for most owners) is difficult.
The trailer is made in the club “Tourism, and pedal cars”, which I ran for several years. Used in construction sites and technical solutions repeatedly tried and tested in our velomobiles. So the trailer turned out immediately — didn’t even have it, as they say, to bring — and completely met our expectations. To date built five of these trailers, and they all showed a high operational reliability.
Snowmobile has always been one of the most popular homemade vehicles. The reason is the relative ease of fabrication (the snowmobile has no wheels, complex transmission, hydraulic brakes, clutch, etc.) and efficiency (the larger can on a high speed pass there, where it can crawl except crawler tractors). However, the relative simplicity of design of the vehicle with aerodynamic propulsion introduced many homebrew tempted to create a primitive machine. As a result, these sleds though and could move, but the pleasure of driving the Creator never got them. And most often it was of poor aerodynamic configuration.
Fifteen years subscribed to the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor” and in each room find a lot of interesting and useful articles. By education I am a mechanical engineer and I am particularly interested in creative development of designers-homebrew. I myself, back in 1989, almost from scrap (selected on the farm “technologisch” aggregates and agricultural machinery) has built a machine that for a set of functions called tractorable. Can not boast of originality of design or elegance of appearance. Rather, the tractor turned rough, but it for years I became an indispensable and reliable assistant on the farm in summer and winter. Wrong cut, but tightly sewn — this saying can be attributed to him.
