SUPERESSENCE “LARGE FLEET”

SUPERESSENCE The desire to create a “super ship”, more powerful than any potential enemy of his class, at different times, was typical of the designers and crafters from different countries. But there is a certain pattern: the weaker the economy and industry of the state, those that desire more active; for developed countries, conversely, less typical. Thus, in the interwar period the British Admiralty preferred to build rather modest combat capabilities of the ships, but in large numbers, which ultimately allowed us to have a well balanced fleet. Japan, by contrast, sought to create the ships individually more powerful than British and American. Thus she hoped to compensate for the difference in economic development with their future rivals.

WALK ON THE WATER

WALK ON WATERI live in Siberia, from an early age-hunting, fishing. Our wonderful Siberian. A lot of rivers and lakes. Rich in fish and game. Most of all I love to hunt waterfowl. But to take it is sometimes impossible: impenetrable swamps, marshes, sibony, impassable reeds. A lot I was thinking how and what to get there. And stopped water skiing special design. They will go everywhere. But what to make? A search began.

OVERCHARGING THE BATTERY? Is ELIMINATED!

RECHARGING THE BATTERY? Is ELIMINATED!(The end. Beginning at No. 9 and 10,’01). Electronic watch embedded in an improvised universal apparatus for charging batteries differ from the standard. Instead the category “des. min.” in the output “0.1 CH” is the idea of time is here more convenient for rapid calculations. The maximum count value “of 99.9 h.” Instead of the oscillator used household electricity 50 Hz, and the input of the amplifier-limiter is used for formation of the steepness of the pulses removed from the secondary winding of the supply transformer.

OVERCHARGING THE BATTERY? Is ELIMINATED!

RECHARGING THE BATTERY? Is ELIMINATED!One of the problems for the citizens-owners of vehicles is the condition of the batteries. Frequent stops on subsequent runs of the engine discharged battery, a full charge from an onboard generator is at best one hour. And, as experts say, only 90 percent of waste of electric capacity is restored quickly, for some ten or fifteen minutes. The line current is reduced, and further the charge is delayed.

“WITH THIS BOAT YOU CAN PUT MINES…”

(Continued. The beginning see in number 10, 1973). Most Maritime powers after the Russo-Japanese war, the maximum funds allocated for the construction of dreadnoughts and sverhdrednoutami.

AND THE REMAINING EXPERIENCED

AND THE REMAINING EXPERIENCEDMedium tank T-34-100. In previous editions “Bronekollektsiya” we talked about trying to increase the firepower of the most common tank Western allies “Sherman”. Naturally the question arises: were there such attempts in relation to the most massive Soviet tank T — 34. And we are not talking about modification of the T-34-85, armed with 85-mm cannon, and set to “thirty” even more powerful artillery systems.

RC FINIST

RC The creation of RC model aircraft preceded, as a rule, the search of the prototype aircraft, because aviation hobby in the first place, is a small picture of the real aircraft. As for the “Finist”, selected as a sample when designing a radio-controlled model, he seemed to be specially created by the designer as a future prototype flying polyopia. In favor of this choice — and the wing of large aspect ratio, and developed a stabilizer, and a rather large keel, and a voluminous fuselage, makes it easy to install control equipment model.
