PUMPED MATTRESS, LACED – BOAT

PUMPED UP THE MATTRESS, LACED - BOAT…First was a call to the editor. Youth voice, which was heard simultaneously and joy, and pride, and impatience to share all these feelings said that we have built and successfully tested an unusual inflatable boat.

TREATMENT BATTERY TRANSCEIVER

TREATMENT BATTERY OF THE TRANSCEIVERStation IC-V8 has stopped working – not charging Nickel-cadmium (Ni-CD) battery. After dismantling his case it turned out that two elements of the line is faulty: you do not have internal resistance (measured with a tester UNI-T IT-21). This is the price for the carelessness of the owner maintenance Ni-CD rechargeable batteries (or rather lack of it), which is recommended in each instructions. Similar situation with routine maintenance is widespread. Given the large number of devices on the Ni-CD batteries each person, for their constant readiness every day lot of time would have had to spend on such services, periodic charging. “And to live when?” asked be, in this case Goncharov Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. In the article, the author shares a simple reanimation of Ni-CD batteries by replacing faulty elements in the line. Tips you can use for other Ni-CD batteries.

Like many modelers, we moved to “the rocketeer” after the first space launches. Moreover, it was a completely new direction in children’s technical creativity where they can show their imagination in the construction of flying models. Today such a scheme more perfect, with the folding and rotation of the wing, called “Moscow”, widely exploited by rakotomalala.
