“MIKRUS”TOURIST CAR

Practice Amateur autocostruzione, including my personal, shows that wagon layout with the use of wheels with tyre size 5X10 (motorized С3А) provides a very convenient and rational design of little micro-car. That is my “Mikrus”. It is stable, holds the road well, speeds up to 90 km/h the engine under the driver seat and the passenger increases the useful volume, makes the body more succinct. The interior is spacious, seats are arranged, which is convenient for overnight stay and rest. One cannot underestimate the capacious trunk: there is, for example, you can install a baby carriage, not looking. In the right corner of the trunk easy to install the battery, and in the bottom of the fuel tank from the car ZAZ-966. Made for the base, they both increase the load on the rear axle, which improves traction of the drive wheels. And convenient access to the engine: the hood folds with the seat, driver and passenger; repairing and explore without leaving the salon. For transportation of bulky goods — TV, washing machine, fridge — enough to move the back seat forward and fold the seatback or delete it. Get a small truck.

METAMORPHOSIS BOMBER

METAMORPHOSIS BOMBERHISTORY OF PS-35 (ANT-35). At the end of 1930-ies in the Soviet air force began to penetrate American airliner DC-3, launched in Khimki under designation PS-84. Later this machine became widely known as Li-2. “American” quickly moved “in the shadow” of the passenger aircraft of national design, including the Tupolev PS-35. The history of the past is very interesting. Almost all know that A. N. Tupolev managed to significantly speed up the creation of the first Soviet passenger jet Tu-104, using units of long-range bomber Tu-16. But such a trick the designer had done in the past – a shining example of this was the PS-35. The basis for it was the famous high-speed bomber SB.

QUICKLY AND RELIABLY

FAST AND RELIABLELike it or get a hose clamp or wire the ends of pneumology, no one can guarantee the strength of the connection: the internal air pressure will do the trick. And if force this pressure to use to secure the hoses to each other? This idea I have embodied in a specific construction of the clutch. It is based on the building, reminiscent of a car tire (made, of course, of metal). In the case of slotted radial grooves into which is inserted four levers. Inside the case is another “car tire” — this time from elastic rubber.

Modernizing the conventional electric soldering iron, can safely be taken for soldering aluminum products, And the quality of the weld and the process practically does not differ from traditional. Finalizing undergoes only the copper core of the soldering iron. His working part should be dulled with a file before the formation of the pad width Read more…

ROTOR GYROPLANE

ROTOR GYROPLANEIt is no exaggeration to say that the main airframe-the autogyro is the rotor. From the correctness of the profile, from weight, precision, alignment and strength depend on the performance of the gyro. However, non-motorized vehicle on tow behind the car rises only 20 – 30 m. But the flight at this altitude requires mandatory compliance with all previously stated conditions.

SET ON THE LAWN

SET ON THE LAWNIn the cold season it is nice to remember the hot summer, Blazhenny hours of quiet rest in the shade of the trees in the garden or at the cottage.

The range of subjects offered by the industry, while rather limited, sun lounger, folding bed Yes hammocks. Try of them to put together a “green room” — the area in the fresh air! But whether the special summer set — everything would have looked differently. But as they are not offered the option of making such furniture their own.

CRUISER LATIN AMERICA

CRUISER OF LATIN AMERICATo test the dynamite gun in a combat situation was not an easy task. Although auxiliary cruiser “niterói” was commissioned in late 1893 , it constantly broke down and failed, and due to an oversight, a private crew, and outright sabotage. 18 Feb 1894 g. the commander of “Niteroi” was ordered to carry up to 300 paratroopers landing in Rio de Janeiro and bombard the fortifications of the rebels at Villegagnon. At the critical moment it turned out that the missing miner, serving the “miracle gun”. Sounded a welcome shot in the last and decisive battle for Rio on March 13. Only on 15 March when the outcome of the battle was already a foregone conclusion, the day of the final surrender of the rebels, the ill-fated shot still managed to produce.

STAND FOR DRILL

STAND FOR DRILLIf the drill breaks in the work is placed on the table or on the floor, I don’t like, but still tolerable. But if on the ground, but still raw? So I had the idea to make a stand-“the suitcase”, which would be convenient to put and take out a drill with an inserted drill bit and to transfer it separately or in a bag.
