However, the acquisition of a snowmobile, not everyone can afford, even the not-so-expensive—simple. So we have those who are able to make a machine with their hands, designing it according to your project under those parts that the craftsman. The snowmobile, which, the story goes, I was not the first (see “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 11 for 2004).

VIBRATION AND QUALITY

VIBRATION AND QUALITYThe denser the stack will be the builders of the concrete, the stronger will be the monolith. That is why in industrial and housing construction in the manufacture of precast concrete structures there is a need “compacted” cement mixture. At the Yaroslavl plant “Red lighthouse” for such purposes, developed an Electromechanical vibrator. In contrast to existing devices is not superficial, and deep submersible instrument: it can affect the entire thickness of the layer of concrete, compacting it well.

GLIDER-GYROPLANE “BUMBLEBEE”

GLIDER-GYROPLANE The design and construction of the “Bumblebee” creative team “Rise” was based on microalloy design V. Barkovsky, V. Vinitsky and Y. Rysuke described in “MK” (see: 1969, № 6, 1970, № 3, 1970, № 10 and 1971, No. 6). This well made and for the first time in the country is stable flying machine of this class was exhibited at the Central exhibition NTTM 74 and was awarded a silver medal VDNH. Schematic diagram, basic dimensions and technology are critical components of microstoria differ little from those recommended in these articles, so we will consider only the scheme of “Bumblebee” in three dimensions and focus on the changes that have been made in the process of finishing and flight testing of the apparatus. Outset: we had the opportunity to use a number of ready-made components and parts from decommissioned planes and helicopters, which, on the one hand, some changed the look of our machine, and with another — has greatly facilitated the work: eliminated many labor-intensive operations, used aircraft normal, good fasteners, and so on.

THE BMW GOES… THE ROOF!

THE BMW GOES... THE ROOF!Not so often we have to meet on city streets the car “coupe” or “convertible”. However, at the dawn of its existence, almost all cars were just that — open, with soft rising tent.
