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.
The pivot bushing is provided with bronze bearing liners, through which is passed a pin pivotally connecting the sleeve with the lug of the front axle.
Wheel — steel, turned. In each are placed on two bearings (202 and 201), closed Salnikova washers.
The hub is fixed on the axis of the axle nut. Between the bearings inserted spacer.
A few years ago for her sons made a small recumbent (and judging by the size or design — it would be more accurate to call it melakarta). Children machine like, and they, along with the neighborhood kids for hours chased her down the quiet streets.
Last summer, the head asiacruise Vnukovo house of culture (Moscow) Amateur pilot, Andrey Chernikov demonstrated are designed and built with his own hands a single biplane rather complicated maneuvers over the airfield Expanse in the Vladimir region.
Before you start talking about the car “Adrenaline” – built student engineering group of Moscow automobile and road Institute (MADI) to participate in the international competition “Formula Student”, it is necessary to say a few words about the history of this event.
The court, using for movement the muscular strength of a man, never belonged to the category of speed. The only exception is racing boats for rowing, which is the most fleet of vessels musculoides. Due to their known good configuration and the most complete use of the muscle energy of athletes, boats-“eight” is capable of two-kilometer distance to reach the speed of 12 knots. But this does not mean that this speed is the limit of possibilities of human movement on the water surface. If you deviate from canonical constructions of rowing boats, designed for official competition, then there is a possibility of creating a spacecraft-muskurahaton reach speeds up to 20 knots!
Despite the fact that the industry produces many different small vessels (including yachts), the number of homemade, Amateur-built, grows from year to year. They boldly experiment with various materials used in their projects are interesting technical solutions.
In the last decade, especially popular among Amateur designers use motor vehicles on light wheels with cameras-Pneumatics. The amazing maneuverability of these machines prompted the sailing enthusiasts to use the unique properties of the wheel-Pneumatics when you create year-round sailing.
The first little micro-car “mouse” I built for my kids. As far as he was able, the readers of “Modeller-designer” can tell, after reading his description and drawings, published in “
A certain enthusiast by the name of Simon Whitlock set out to build not just powerful, but very powerful motorcycle. You can go simple way – to attach to a motorcycle frame any brutal engine of a large volume, such as from a Viper or Corvette, but then the design would be too bulky and large, which is undesirable.
Dream-the idea of making a car, even simple, like buggy, appeared in his teenage years, when machines were in short supply. But for many UNDERSTANDABLE reasons (had neither the experience nor the tool nor the means) she could not at that time be done — and ended only with drawings on paper. Over the years the opportunity came to build, and the boyish idea has revived in my mind. On the profile of their work by this time, I’m already quite versed in the device of conventional cars, which helped me during the implementation of the project.
