The search for the optimal design of passenger car is a matter of time. The solution to this problem and doing powerful design Bureau leading automotive companies and associations, and Amateur designers. Our magazine has repeatedly appealed to the topic. Today we offer enthusiasts autocostruzione two promising development of the Moscow engineers P. Zak and E. Rudyk.
SNOWMOBILE “SNOWBIRD”
Recalling the history of the snowmobile, realized how long ago began my fascination with construction equipment. Even in his youth (and now I’m already retired) received the specialty of a locksmith and mastered on his own welding business, other specialty Metalworkers. But knowledge of design, to tell the truth, “boast” could not, and to learn there was no place. Built on a whim any “grindaholik” on wheels and tracks went on them and on the road and in the snow, but neither the reliability nor beauty.THE PATCH… ON THE LAWN
Now suburban suburban areas are very popular green lawns, pleasing to the eye a beautiful grassy carpet. However, they require proper care and maintenance, the complexity is almost equal garden chores: the lawn need mowing, watering, update affected the economic activities of the place.
HOLE? LEAD!
It is impossible not to admire the rapid slide on the water surface caught wind of the windsurfer, or at least a dizzying descent from the rampant ocean waves athlete on the other Board, resembling a wide ski. Both of the sports projectile at a fairly thin shell of the hull have a fairly soft filling of foam, so damage to this boat is worth nothing — even enough it doesn’t blow. However, to plug the “hole” so, as advised by the Hungarian magazine”, Earmaster”, is not particularly difficult. The proposed method is also interesting because it can be applied in other similar cases, and similar structures.
GUIDE FOR THE GLASS CUTTER
If you want to cut the glass not by the usual straight lines and sinuous, shaped (e.g., stained glass) — the plot thickens. However, it will be easier to perform if under the glass to put the picture, which will move the glass cutter.
STROLLER – “STOPTEXT”
Stroller, created by a private Moscow company OOO “Gradi Production” for people with limited mobility, able to down-climb the stairs, overcome thresholds, curbs, etc. to Do this let her slide out two pairs of cruciform pillars (the wheel at the same stop). When descending stairs are the leading front of the crosspiece and the rear Read more…
RECOVERABLE BATTERY DRILLS
After a few years of correct operation your drill is the drill started to “MOPE” – ends quickly charge the battery (battery), has to be frequently charged, and for this to interrupt your work. Losing battery capacity is inevitable with heavy use (depends on the amount of discharges-charges) and over time. By the way, if the drill is rarely used, the battery capacity is also reduced by itself (especially if it is stored uncharged), and a year later, may be reduced by a quarter or more. But in many cases, this occurs prematurely because battery other dangers face. So, it will inevitably deteriorate if you apply the tool when the ambient temperature is below 0°C and above +50 °C and in rainy weather and damp conditions, especially if spilled into the water.THE EVOLUTION OF THE BIAXIAL
From the history of the tram car. The fact that on the tram lines of the country “standard” rolling stock occupied by the end of 1930-ies a dominant position, does not mean that he was free of flaws even for its time. First and foremost, experts have noted excessively large (14.5 tons) mass of motor cars of type “X”, which, being generally crowded with passengers, caused increased consumption of electricity. This dramatically inferior in dynamic characteristics surrounding them more intense flow of road transport, loud and unpleasant noise when driving, and quickly destroyed the railway track already laid in most of cities, buildings, that is, on the live thread. The elimination of the second control stations and door openings of the left side eased “Kharkiv” rather little, as it simultaneously had to introduce pneumatic actuator doors, the driver’s cabin and other improvements dictated by concern for safety.
IN THE CAR”DIPLOMAT” ON THE STROLLER
How not to fold walking stroller still it is quite cumbersome. And she weighs a lot, so to enter the car or bus with a child and a heavy stroller is no easy task. Besides, and stored in the apartment it is not very convenient. We offer our readers design a homemade portable stroller for the child from one to three years, developed by the Moscow engineer Igor Dnevnikom. In working position it does not differ from those that you can buy in the store is quite convenient for the child and his parents a four-wheeled stroller. However, in the folded position it turns into a small case with dimensions 360x360x120 mm. Typical detail — all in contact with the road details of the crew and the folding be inside the body of the suitcase, so the stroller can safely go in public transport without dirtying dirty wheels and struts “chassis” to the surrounding passengers.SMART FORTWO
In 1989, the company The Swatch Group Ltd. (Switzerland) engaged in the design compact city car of the original design, and in 1993, the company Mercedes-Benz has developed a feasibility study of production of this car. The first Smart prototype was presented to the public in September 1995 at the International motor show in Frankfurt. Production of mini-car and pre-sales in Europe began in July 1998.
