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.

AND FLOAT-MECHANISM

AND FLOAT-MECHANISMTo have Pets in the farm economy, of course, fine, but try to feed them! For many of them forage vegetables — pumpkin, beets, and other succulent forage — you have to shred on a grater. In the end I tired of every day for one to two hours to do such unproductive work, and I made electrothermo. Just three or four minutes she grinds is so much food that its enough for two adult pigs.

THE LAST OF THE “KV”, THE FIRST “IS”

THE LAST OF THE In December 1941, the design Bureau of Chelyabinsk Kirov factory (up to October 1941 – Chelyabinsk tractor plant) representatives of the Armored Directorate of the red Army considered the draft design of the new tank “Klim Voroshilov” – KV-13 — “high-speed tank enhanced reservation”. According to the designers, it’s time to create a “single tank”, who would be able to combine all the positive characteristics of serial KV and T-34. The fact that KV was very difficult to manufacture, “not enough technologically advanced and not suitable to mass production in wartime”. They had surpassed the T-34 but more powerful armor.
