In this respect, the distant past off — one of the most interesting pages in the development of the car. Even briefly getting to know her, convinced of the validity of the old and wise sayings: “Everything is already someone once invented.” Indeed, we think the modern powerful vehicles with high cross — the fruit of creativity solely by our contemporaries. But it is not.

BUER IN A BACKPACK

BUER IN A BACKPACKThe beauty of this glider, named “Tetra” (because of the shape of its frame), is that it is collapsible and place of training it is possible to carry in a bag or backpack. It weighs more than 20 kg. Frame glider — tetrahedron, assembled on bolts of duralumin or steel tubes.

The lower part of the mast is integral with the frame Buer from the pipe Ø 50 mm.

“E-COLI”

Instead of bulky and uncomfortable electrostatic machines Wimshurst, coils Ruhmkorff in high school physics classrooms are increasingly high voltage converters voltage. They can be used to Pro* led experiments in such branches of physics as electrostatics and current in gases. We offer our readers “e-stick” — one of those devices.
