ALMOST BABBITThere is an element of design, which can be found probably in any moving models. It is the bearing. Often a pair of “shaft — hole” presented in the form of passing through the wall of thin sheet metal or metal wire axis. This couple meet on the microplane in the system control cord the aircraft or in the nose bearing rezinomotornaya, and the boat, built by children’s hands, — the bearing of the prop shaft or hub of the rudder, not to mention the suspension of the microcosm novice automodellista.

AS THE POLISHER WAS THE MOWER

AS THE POLISHER WAS THE MOWERIn suburban areas, though small in size, usually have enough space not only for the vegetable garden and berry bushes, but I cultural grassy lawn.

It’s almost ready based electrocoil a powerful motor 350 watts. I have set a goal to make the design such that it was possible to quickly assemble, disassemble: “translate” foot in the mower and Vice versa. And formulated the problem like this — equip P-2 circular knife and put on wheels. That is the main work consisted in the fabrication of the chassis for future mower.

KITCHEN PENDANTS

Yes and post on these lodgements “emergency” devices is very problematic.

MINI TRACTOR: FROM SCHEME TO PLOWING

MINI-TRACTOR FROM THE PLOW“Manual labor is performed by machines!” — under this title was published in our journal materials from the all-Union conference VISKHOM named after V. P. Goryachkin (see “M-K”, 1982, № 8). The performances of the participants on the importance and necessity of development of means of mechanization of cute, the editors have opened a correspondence “round table” at the same time, we invited readers to send drawings and diagrams of their machines and asked to share the experience of their construction, manufacture, operation.
 
Give the word Victor A. Chirkov, Amateur designer of the suburban town of Lotoshino. He has accumulated considerable experience of creating small tools today introduces its latest development — a mini-tractor MT-5. It seems that novice designers would be useful for some considerations V. L. Chirkov on the design and Assembly of such machines, the use of serial components and parts.

THE MODEL IS BASED ON THE AIR

MODEL RELIES ON THE AIRWings, like aviation, has already appeared on the car. At first it was a triangular plane, similar to the fins of fish. The intent of the designers, like “architectural excesses” was to give swiftness appearance. Then, when the car began to compete in speed with the wind on the wings remembered again. Only now they were needed to help the car better “hold” for the road, push him to the ground. The fastest, now not only establish a plane, located above the rear part of the body, but the front of the front wheels to the track pribavlyaetsya small side wings.

WITH “AIR CUSHION”

Is there any reason to go into specifics slip “school” model, results of which did not even contain the cells in the table of records! If you think about the future, that is. Today we record events are not logged, tomorrow, and the theory of sliding automodelisme not yet developed by anyone, although microcontrolle subject to the General laws of physics.
