WAVING THE STEERING WHEEL

BEATING THE WHEELThe first test of this bike took place at night. And the winter. And if the first can be explained by the unusual design, then the second — just looking forward to the author’s development: why wait for spring when the snow tract is not worse than asphalt, and test the idea and want their case immediately. Therefore, hardly any of the villagers Dyakonov, in the Tula region, saw the frosty January night their countrymen Ivan Zabashta rolled out and “straddle” the bike. Yes, if I saw anything unusual I would not have noticed. Except for one strange behavior of the cyclist. And indeed, as if testing or demonstrating remarkable strength, he “bent” the wheel down, then unbent his horns, lifting them up. However, not tested the power, and the new manual transmission of the original design, in which I. A. Zabashta tried to avoid many of the shortcomings of other well-known schemes for the transmission on a front wheel. How managed it, tell the author.

AQUARIUM-PAINTING

AQUARIUM PICTUREDecorates the interior of any room wall aquarium, made in the form of pictures. In structure it resembles an aquarium-screen, but with a sloping front wall. Due to this, if the suspension on the wall and the corresponding registration is obtained “live” carotene. Another advantage: no need any stand, table or Cabinet, not zagromozhdaet the window sill. The it and fishes it is no secret that “screens” the water is poorly oxygenated, and in the film bordering the air the surface will be the same amount twice.

COMPETE ELECTROMODEL

COMPETE ELECTROMODULELast summer I happened to be in one of the suburban pioneer camps. Freshly painted hull, the green of the grass and… a person! A bewildered look around. From somewhere far away I heard gambling and shouts, noise. The camp Olympics? Moving in that direction, I soon came to the paved area where usually held solemn ceremonies.

BMW – OPTION FOR THE TRACK

BMW OPTION FOR THE TRACKIn 1978, at the international motor show in Paris was presented the new sports car BMW M1. He is currently considered the fastest car of the company, and this was achieved not only due to the design features, but also because a fundamentally new approach to design. Racing cars are usually created on the basis of serial models, but the firm BMW chose a different path. BMW M1 from the beginning was created to participate in competitions, and requirements specific requirements take into account not only when designing the engine, but the bodywork along with chassis, It is possible to achieve the harmonious unity of all units of the car with a powerful engine and is easy to assemble them with a “good” motor.

MOTORCYCLE ON FOUR WHEELS

MOTORCYCLE ON FOUR WHEELSThe idea is to build a ATV (four wheel motorcycle) developed a long time — needed equipment by means of which the trolley with a load of shabby, fishing for the easy road to go, and just go to family members. And, of course, is to have the satisfaction of creation. Ideas in my head were many, but finances — not a lot, and therefore decided to restrict the construction of zadneprov-tion of the ATV, not all-wheel drive. Thought and the basic technical requirements to future design: among them — the presence of a reverse, no chain — still supposed to use the ATV not on the pavement, but mostly on country roads and also decent power and maintainability. And, of course, low price.

EAGLET, HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO GROW UP

EAGLET, HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO GROW UPat the beginning of last century, the pilots noticed that the landing of the aircraft when the height was commensurate with the chord of his wing, there is an additional lifting force, and became more volatile. “The nature of The” additional forces did not understand but came up with the name: “airbag”. Later, after the emergence of the theory of inductive resistance with this phenomenon understood, and it received a scientific classification: “proximity Effect of the earth.” Subsequently, this effect is divided into two components: dynamic air cushion that is created due to the inhibition of air flow under the unit and its supporting surface, and the effect of ground proximity, which is tied exclusively to decrease the inductive component of the aerodynamic drag of the wing.
