The compact universal self-propelled machine MUSM-1 — that’s what the young craftsmen from the modeling and construction club of agricultural machines at Novokulinskaya Secondary School in Dagestan named their design. With the help of various attachments, it performs plowing, cultivation, sowing, harrowing; mows hay and collects dried grass into windrows and haystacks; transports various loads Read more…
«Dear editorial board! While reviewing back issues of ‘Modelist-Konstruktor’ from previous years, I became interested in materials about biogas published in issues No. 1’87, 5’88, 4’96 of the magazine. However, I didn’t dare to implement any of the proposed ideas on my farm. But I recently heard from neighbors that in Lithuania, some farmer got Read more…

The proposed development has, of course, nothing to do with space. In this case, PMC (Control Center) is a control center for only the power supply of electrical equipment, not for flights into the Universe. Constructively executed as a compact electrical panel, it contains the most essential automatic blocks for a garage. Here are the Read more…
The house is built. Electricity is connected. Winter is coming… I suggest making a water heating system using an automatic tubular electric heater (TEN) “Ariston”. Reliability and automatic regulation of maximum heating are big advantages of this company’s “tens”. The simplest option is a boiler with a single-phase heater, similar to a piece of pipe. Read more…
Both during construction and during further operation or repair of an individual or country house, a special ladder is needed for work on the roof, preferably wooden, with an L-shaped end at the top so it can be hooked over the roof ridge. Often it remains there unused until the next time, due to the Read more…
Having a stove in a garden house (coal or wood-fired), it’s quite possible to provide hot water for the kitchen sink and even a shower.
