There are many enthusiasts for whom the recumbent was the only passion and hobby. And there are people for whom the velomobile is literally life. More precisely, the ability to move that, in General, interrelated.
And for such a vehicle is important, not speed, not capacity, and most other specifications: light weight, maneuverability, ease of management. And most importantly, that the recumbent was comfortable and not difficult to operate, occupy little space during storage, and, preferably, to serve as a good simulator. Who among the optimists who, for whatever reason, restricted mobility and social circle, not want to recover your mobility!
A mini-tractor, which will be the story for the third modification of my DIY construction, originally designed as walk-behind and built by me in 1985. It was the car with the power unit of the motorcycle “IZH-Planeta-4”, equipped with air cooling system and is equipped with an intermediate chain reduction gear. Tillers were intended mainly for the cultivation of the earth. For the transport of works behind him was poicephalus single axle truck with the seat and the body. Truck wheel was, of course, not leading. Reverse tillers also had and with it I felt it is not easy to handle, and realized that he largely loses the tractor.
During design development we present motoblock tried to solve three tasks. First, maximum use of to manufacture standing for several years without case motorcycle “Minsk”. Secondly, to be able to make at home, with minimal turning and without using expensive parts. Finally, third, we wanted to make a walk-behind tractor, which would be a good mechanical helper in the household with a plot of land: that it was earth to plow, potatoes and other root vegetables to plant, inter-row cultivation of plants run, and the harvest be removed and relocated.
In the design of this Rover, the designer-a lover of L. Antonov of Kirishi of the Ryazan region have sought to make year-round and reliable off-road machine with small dimensions and weight, equipped with enclosed cab for three people — the driver and two passengers. The result was an all-terrain vehicle on the tires low pressure with the wheel formula 4×4, constructed according to the scheme of the vehicle with “broken” frame and with the original transmission.
Talk about making microscope with computer connection with an increase in 300-500 times.
In the environment of Russian Amateur designers a lot of those who gladly builds original cars, not only for themselves but also for their children. The website “Modelstructure” published and will continue to post photos and descriptions of these children’s cars.
Dreams everyone has their own. Who about what, and Sergey Rudenko, an employee of city station of young technicians, in Slutsk, Minsk region, dreams of a children’s technology Park. And not only cherishes this dream, but slowly takes it. Top aides to him in this —the children, all the surrounding kids. Together they create the basis for future Park equipment. At the teen club Amateur designers “Original”, which Sergey Dmitrievich runs on a voluntary basis, already built about a dozen unusual machines: from moped to hydrometallation. The purpose of all machines the same: to serve children’s interests. So the young craftsmen design themselves, build themselves, themselves and ride.
Mini makiki always use the boys great success. And for good reason! Small size, cost-effective, modern appearance, excellent performance — what more can you ask for? Maybe that’s why many of them roll up his sleeve so take tools. After all, if you try, you can do mokik, able to compete with serial two-wheeled machines. However, it is not very easy, but it’s worth it.
Design truck for paraglider was preceded by just the fascination of paragliding, which did not come at once. First flew airplanes (and flight certificate), gliders. But one day, fly a paraglider, got into it seriously. I think it is comparable to swimming to sailing. Only even better.
Frame double machine, dubbed “mouse”, welded from thin steel tubes. Front axle (Fig. 3) assembled from beams, two eyes and swing units of the front wheels. Axle are the axle adapted to pivot the sleeve at an angle of 98 ° and welded to it. Pivot arm has a bend of sheet steel with thickness 1.5 mm; pivot bushing it is attached by welding at an angle of 110°. Ring tail joints at the ends of the swivel levers are cut from steel pipe ø 12 mm.
