Many quite rightly believe that automobilism is one of the most exciting and spectacular forms of diverse technical activities. Here you can find a lot of sharply differing from other classes of models, including, it seems, the whole conceivable spectrum of interests of athletes and fans of all ages. However, in automodelisme there is a continuous development. Today, we are talking about a completely new class of RC — “Buggy-8D”, which in Russia is more than short. The first official information about it was entered the Central self-similar club in edition of changes and additions to the rules of the competition for the self-similar sport at the end of 1993. In the same year took place in Tambov and the first “booster”, the championship of Russia in the new class. Participated athletes using exclusively machine-handmade. Unfortunately, the result of these competitions was due to poor weather conditions is almost zero.
NEW CLASS: RADIOLOGY
It would seem that can be the total electric drill hole puncher, washing rubber (eraser) and a paper clip? But O. Lavrov, who considers himself a graduate of our magazine, was able not only to see it shared, but make stationery to work successfully in a number of original technical solutions. As a result of normal (and battered) drill inquiring of homebrew has expanded its typical “drill-tocil-wide” function. Now she can, if necessary, and tighten screws to Unscrew, and if you really itch — even a jigsaw or hacksaw would work tolerably well. All you need is the right tooling (this material is not considered).
In the Russian self-similar sports, as worldwide, the most popular class of RC 10L. RC little micro-car is equipped with a motor of the type “Mabuchi-540” and the battery pack of the six elements. Control occurs through two channels — the turn of the front wheels and speed control of the motor. Competitions are held on the track, marked side; it can be fitted inside (in the hangar, hall, indoor stadium) and the outdoors. Body patterns repeat! real racing car in scale 1:10.
Thank you so much, friend magazine, for the development of welding transformers. Inspired by the publications took a chance and made themselves compact, but quite powerful “svarochnik” based on “on the margins” of the burnt stator from a induction motor. Now that dream is about as good design of the rectifier… help me out, dear journal. On you one hope!
Industry now available good double wire with PVC insulation, which occupies when winding on the bobbin a little space. So there is no need to do cumbersome carrying, about which the magazine wrote some time ago. However, the idea Tihonovich from Kharkov (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 10 of 1985) good. So I decided to develop it further, making the appropriate changes.
For several years Samsung cell phones are available with the new universal (multi-function) mini-connector. Compact and flat (see photo), it provides charging from the adapter, connecting headphones, connecting to USB port of personal computer (“data cable”) to operate the phone as a modem and many other features.
Happened that my electric “Rossiyanka-2” went out on one of the switches controls the degree of heating burners. So much so that no restoration is not subject. A suitable replacement for him even in a repair shop not found. Rescued… the thermostat of the burnt iron. However, had a bit to accommodate this, tuscawilla in storage, site.
Industries is not only “pedal” means of transportation and sports equipment to strengthen leg muscles. In the right hands it is easily converted into a variety of small-scale mechanization, as “modelist-Konstruktor” has repeatedly been told on its pages (№ 11’81, 3’85, 2’87, 7’96). And therefore development, are addressed to cyclists — and fans of night riding with brightly burning (alternator) spotlight, may be useful to other readers.
