THE ENERGY FROM THE RING
Sean Hodgins (Hodgins Sean) loves building small electronic gadgets. One of them — a ring that turns body heat into light. The ring is made of aluminum — an excellent conductor of heat, which is necessary for the generation of electric energy. To convert heat into electricity is the Peltier module. The Peltier module converts heat that goes from the ring into a small voltage, and the circuit Board amplifies the current. Currently, the efficiency of the device depends on the temperature of the air, but Hodgins is developing a new scheme to make it work at any temperature.

THE MOST POWERFUL NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Most powerful Intercontinental ballistic missile is a missile SS-18 Mod 6 Satan (type 6). Received since 1988 on arms, now there is 56 pieces. Manufactured in the former USSR, are 10 750-kiloton charge, consisting of independent self-guided warheads.
HYBRID TRACKED VEHICLE
I have to say, I don’t homebrew and the car was collected only in order to check how the mechanism of rotation, which I patented. So the car made a simple that have no practical value, except to ride in shallow snow. Caterpillar used Baranovsky, long, sawn her jigsaw into two parts. Stars also buranovskie. As the traction engine took skaterny 150 CC motor with a CVT. Differentials muravievskaya, the rotary electric motor of 1.2 kW from the mixer.

LEARN TO FLY!
You built the plane. Naturally the desire of the designer to quickly rise into the air. However, the first thing you must “train” to learn flying on your aircraft are extremely serious and responsible. First of all it’s elaborate and it is good to understand the fundamental principles of flight dynamics, principles of stability and controllability of the aircraft. You need to assess what dynamic features are common to your machine – in particular, what is the stall speed, takeoff and landing and maximum speed, how effective are the rudders, and finally, how stable in the air the unit itself. And only then can you begin the exercises in the cockpit and actually fly, strictly following the principles of gradualism in the development of the machine. Today we open a kind of correspondence summer school for Amateur constructors and pilots. We will introduce you to the basics of flight art the most common mistakes novice pilots, as well as techniques correct behaviour of pilots in extreme situations.

“ROD” FROM NIZHNEUDINSK
Sergey Shved and Dmitry Gaponenko has created a cross-country vehicle-amphibian “Rod” Tgp-75 with the wheel formula 6×4. Engine – from VAZ-2108, steering – UAZ. The body made of steel sheet with a thickness of 0.5 mm. Salon tailored to the needs of fishermen and hunters. Seats – 7, bedrooms (comfort) – 3. Machine weight – Read more…
