CARS WITHOUT MOTOR…

DRIVING WITHOUT MOTOR...Using the experience of previous generations, lifting them achieve a new level of quality, the development of scientific thought is moving up in a spiral. Not accidentally, the inventors, creating increasingly sophisticated machines, often return to the experience of its predecessors — rely in their search for designs of bygone years.

THE PLANE “PILGRIM”

PLANE The plane “pilgrim” in the Tver club “Aviator” was conceived in 1978. He was born in the debates and discussions. In the end, it was decided to build it in the scheme of “Demoiselle” in flight technology: soft dual wing. The design relied on overloading the +8 and – 3 (destruction). The horizontal tail was taken in the range of 2 – 2.2 MAR. The original wing that the ribs to the spars are fastened, and inserted into laderman fabric covering.

SEWING MACHINE IN NEW ROLE

SEWING MACHINE IN A NEW ROLEFirst of all we should warn all those who want to do the same spinning wheel that required minor changes in the sewing machine does not affect its appearance and, importantly, does not damage its main purpose is to sewing. The principle of spinning on a homemade electric machines, braking of the bobbins relative to the flyers — and here, of course, remained. Therefore, preserved the basic details: bobbin, rotating the spacecraft Central axis; a device that acts it; the bracket with the guide hole; flyer with hooks — though all in a somewhat modified form. The rotation device receives the ha score of the flywheel of the machine — in this lies the main “trick” of the design.

THE TRIUMPH OF THE NAME OF THE LOSER

THE TRIUMPH OF THE NAME OF THE LOSERWe left a tireless worker submarine building John Holland at the end of the XX century, at the time of his career, when the impression that finally his long labors were crowned with success. Indeed, he created the submarine, named with his own name, finally became part of the United States Navy. On the stocks of the company, also bearing the name “Holland”, built next boat, the ninth, in which was made additional improvements. It showed the interest of Maritime agents of some foreign powers when the mounted body only. It seemed that one more step and the production designer will be able to break the “operating room”.

ALUMINUM! BRAZED!

It is known that in house conditions to solder aluminum products is not easy: tinned stripped space prevents instantly formed when Stripping arisia film. To remove it use acid, steel sawdust, and more. Methods of brazing of aluminium are countless. But they are good only for the particular case. The method that appears to be Read more…

THE HEIRS OF THE 10TH FLOTILLA MAS

THE HEIRS OF THE 10TH FLOTILLA MASAll wars end sooner or later, no exception and the most terrible in human history the Second world war. And when peace came, the experts were not in a hurry to understand tendencies of development of those or other weapons systems. It is obvious that during the conduct of hostilities, the release of new models of equipment and retraining of personnel on long-term patterns difficult to achieve.

ATV “THE VAGABOND”

QUAD The ATV is made of that which was in the garage. Generally in the construction tried to use as many parts from domestic cars. Yes, and that turning was smaller. Engines with gearbox (welded differential) – from the car “Oka” VAZ-11113. Quad – double. Seat though homemade, but made on the principle of the factory – the passenger sits slightly above the driver, it has the backrest and footrests.

OUTFIT FOR LIGHT

DRESS FOR THE WORLDPerhaps the desire to dress up the light source comes from the primitive worship of the miracle of fire. Even the torch could just be stuck in a split stick, and you can revive the thread and patterns of vertical Board designed for this, and a primitive lamp not only gave light, but decorated home. Today, perhaps no one kind of industrial products for everyday life has such a diversity, such as lamps: chandeliers, table lamps, floor lamps and wall sconces, lamp shades, lampshades, diffusers of all kinds, lamps, different from each other at a common decision, form, material, colour. But to satisfy our demand is impossible — so the effect here individual taste or particular living conditions: purpose, place, environment furniture, existing light sources.

TWENTY S8D

TWENTY S8DIn the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 11 for 1981, we reported on a new category of raketoplana S8. In the same issue was published the drawings of models of the class S8A. Today we offer to your th account the description of another rocketplane — class S8D. It is interesting the original design of bearing areas of changing geometry. Furthermore, it simultaneously satisfies the requirements of category S4. Similar models in the class S4D Moscow athletes competed at the Championships of the USSR. The proposed design of the rocket plane designed by head of the circle of the Moscow city Palace of pioneers and schoolchildren by V. Minakova.
