The readers of “M-K” has long been known to experienced lab simulation and design club of young technicians of the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. A development of this laboratory is reflected in the pages of our magazine. We offer you the latest, very, we think, interesting design that was exhibited in the summer exhibition at the VI all-Russian meeting of young rationalizers and engineers. This triple car “March-77”. On his device, says the head of the laboratory of M. L. Larkin.
Military vehicle amphibious SCHWIMMWAGEN
Amphibious Schwimmwagen (Volkswagen Typ 166) — German floating four-wheel drive all terrain vehicle for military use, developed on the basis of “national” Volkswagen Beetle and army all-terrain vehicle VW-82 “Kubelwagen”. Produced from autumn 1942 to the summer of 1944 to the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS instead of heavy motorcycles with sidecar, appeared on the Eastern front because of low passability on the roads, and especially in slush.
NOT ALONG AND ACROSS
For drying clothes usually are stretched one or two ropes, but wide things on them is placed a bit, you have to lengthen them. However, if the Laundry on the clothesline to hang not along and across, things would fit much more.
RELIABLE, HANDLES
Wood handle plumbing tools will eventually fail and require replacement. Buying or making a new one, not in a hurry to wear it. First, on the shank of the chisel rasp, make several oblique notches — they firmly hold the handle of a jump-out, and that lasts a little longer, put it on the front Read more…
MACHINE-GREGORATOS
The need for large apertures of various diameters occurs very often. Some cut them with a jigsaw, others use a drill and then sanded the edges with a file, others are turning to so-called centraliza — fit to a normal drilling machine.IT IS EASIER TO WORK
To saw thin-walled metal pipe clutched in a vise — employment is not easy. Not only because the accompanying screeching grates on the ear. The work itself is difficult: in one direction the saw is more or less easy, but the other can’t get. Especially if the material is soft, e.g. aluminium. Put in place Read more…
ON THE ROAD BY ELLIPSES
What happens if you cut a cylinder and two parallel planes at an angle to its axis and to replace the resulting “pancakes” wheels of a conventional car? It turns out that in the end we will get the vehicle of the increased passability. On normal roads this car moves exactly the same as a car with standard wheels, because at any point, the distance from the road to the axis remains constant, equal to the radius of the cylinder. Of course, with the difference that leaving a trail is not straight, but curved in the form of a sine wave.KNIFE ROLL
The coil is the most convenient form of packaging thin sheet materials and for the transportation and storage in warehouses. Foil, a synthetic film or paper in a tightly collapsed become a monolith, convenient in handling and are not particularly suffering from the hard grips of different mechanisms.IN KINDERGARTEN — ELECTRIC CAR
This little car (Fig. 1) I did back in 1972, and it is already my second son, Sasha. He was only three years, but he leads the electric car is almost like a real chauffeur. The car became a favorite toy of kids all around, and how else — steering, brakes, lighting, sound signal, turn on the rear — all on this car!

Maximum simplicity, minimum weight and dimensions at optimum amenities available materials, components and assemblies, simplified (not at the expense of quality) manufacturing technology – all this formed the basis for the design of the car, which was later called “Yauza”.
