The launching of another ship of the MEKO family of corvettes “Amatola” for the Navy of South Africa — at first glance, were not fraught with anything unusual. Nevertheless, this event, held on 7 June 2002 at the Hamburg shipyard “Blohm und Voss”, attracted attention of specialists from different countries of the world And it was not only that the new draft MEKO-A200 predicted a great future in the international market for naval armaments of the South African Corvette was noteworthy in several respects, clearly describing trends in modern shipbuilding.
NOT A BRUSH, AND ROLLER
Not so easy to hold on the wall paint a straight line but still the same width — any brush here — unreliable assistant. Easily cope with this task will fail if the manufacture is shown in the figure is a simple device consisting of two rollers: foam, impregnated with paint, touching it rubber carrying Read more…
A CRANE WORKS ON THE PROGRAM
It is made by a group of engineering students laboratory in the Sverdlovsk House of pioneers named after Yuri Gagarin. Appearance of the crane shown in figure 1. On the frame beam crane includes a traveling mechanism hoist (Fig. 2). Rope (cotton fabric) covers two rollers. The drive roller while rotating according to the movement of the hoist carriage, which moves freely through the corners like on rails.BARBECUE-COT
Usually barbecues and barbecue for barbecue or roasted meat, a heavy box-shaped device of heat-resistant metal, welded, riveted or cast housings, mounted on legs. The illustration shows a suspended version, which is easy to reproduce on their own: zhelobkova roaster from a metal sheet together with the grating suspended on chains to a U-shaped tubular Read more…
FOAM BELT
In older toilets hinged toilet cover with noise hits the pipe spillway, and the two contact surfaces in this place over time, injured. This can be avoided if reinforced pipe is a foam belt. N. KOZIAKOV, Voronezh
CHILDREN’S BOARD OF…
This option is a child’s room suitable for an urban apartment, and the manor house, as it is simple in design, available materials and mobile functions.“COMET” WILL BE MORE POWERFUL
Engine MD-5 Kometa is produced in large series for many years and is established on the models of different types. To simplify manufacturing and reduce the cost of manufacturing allows derogation from increased individual adjustment of the prototype. This leads to the fact that the production engines develop power below possibilities inherent in their design. Only individual samples with the perfect mix of details showing good results.CARING MACHINE
Sometimes the competition for RC model, not obeying commands, is out of sight. Flies knows where the result of months of labor and expensive equipment. A simple automatic device developed gorsyut Alma-ATA will provide a forced fit of the model. It will stop the engine after some time after the failure of the receiver.THE AIRCRAFT FOR THE CRUISER
We can safely say that the class of the ship ejection of seaplanes was the most short-lived in the history of Soviet aviation. There are many reasons, but chief among them is that in the heyday of ejection aviation fleet of the Soviet Union played a secondary role. In its structure there were only a few ships equipped with ejection systems.AEROPUER
Today we’ll explain how on the basis of a moped or scooter (or rather, their main nodes) to make not too difficult aeropuer – a vehicle driven by a propeller. He walks well on ice and Packed snow. However, try to “teach” him like a snowmobile equipped with ski to overcome the drifts is not necessary, power motorbike engine for this purpose is clearly not enough.
