A canvas tent stretched over a frame made of steel pipes for electrical wiring will perfectly protect the fisherman from the scorching sun rays. The canopy size is designed for a boat 4.5 m long. The ends of the frame tubes are flattened, and holes Ø 5 mm are drilled in them. The connection is Read more…
Unfortunately, power problems are occurring more and more frequently, and there is no guarantee that you will be spared this fate, regardless of where you live — in the city or, especially, in rural areas. To protect yourself in case of an “emergency” situation, it’s good to purchase a diesel mini-power station, but… not everyone Read more…
“Juice with a jack” — that’s what the article was called, published in “Modelist-Konstruktor” No. 4 for 1998. I liked the simplicity and unconventionality of the technical solution proposed in it.

The journal “Modelist-Konstruktor” has more than once published materials about homemade “refrigerators,” where natural cold is used for storing food, of which there is more than enough in the middle latitudes of our country, not to mention its north. In all these devices, when the frost is too severe, the optimal temperature is maintained by Read more…
