RISING ABOVE THE WAVES

RISING ABOVE THE WAVESThe day was cold, the autumn; the sea was rough. Gathered on the dock quietly talking, glancing at the captain of the ship.
 
Surely in this weather come on!
 
And how! — said the captain. — This day will help us to better identify the seaworthiness of the ship.

SECRETS STEREO

SECRETS THERE, ZENICA EYE. Our vision — natural stereophotography: the image of the same object on the retina varies, as each “eye” sees the object from a different angle. And only in the brain the signals from the retina from these different images are processed into one three dimensional picture.

RENAULT CLIO V6

RENAULT CLIO V6The history of automotive technology well know that the majority of technical solutions, successfully used in mass-produced cars first appeared on race cars. Apparently, the same process happens with the location of the power unit. So, until recently, the Central location of the power unit was considered a prerogative of racing supercars. Currently, however, the situation is changing: in the automotive market began to appear on cars, arranged by type of sports “monsters”.

ORBITA STUDENTS

The Moscow Lenin order aviation Institute named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze at the faculty of aircraft engines has a student design Bureau (SKB-2), which is headed by candidate of technical Sciences, associate Professor V. V. Serdyukov. Great attention is paid to engines of small displacement, which are widely used in various types of modeling. SKB has considerable expertise in designing such engines. Many of them were exhibited at the exhibition of economic achievements and international exhibitions, and their authors are awarded with medals and diplomas. On NTTM-74 was shown a new “Orbit”.

THE LIGHT IN THE WAGON BOX

LIGHT IN A CAR WINDOWMany models of passenger cars produced by well-known manufacturers, equipped with illumination. Usually installed inside a miniature incandescent bulbs or LEDs yellow glow. The energy they receive through a special flexible current collectors which are in contact with metal wheelsets, moving from isolated from each other the rails (about the same as on the models of locomotives).

THE EJECTOR ON A COPY

EJECTOR of COPYUsing copy booster of the spaceship “Soyuz” in the class of models K-2 has, along with the advantages and disadvantages. In the manufacture of models, it is difficult to meet the launch weight of 120 g. But the complexity of the design allows (high quality models) to high poster ocenku. And we decided to build the engine in the junction of the two conical surfaces of the Central unit. Thus it was possible to refuse to load the nose of the model. The inner surface of the Central unit for protection against burn-out during operation of the engine covered office silicate glue.

DIAGNOSIS — MONITOR

DIAGNOSIS — MONITORThe ancient Roman principle of “divide and conquer” is acceptable when… the diagnosis of PC monitor. Especially when you want to find out: is good program for display or handling his job as “electronics”? To the same conclusion when we consider the interaction of the monitor with the system unit of a PC, even if the sight is not complete, but simplified scheme.

TABLE FOOTBALL

the Base game (see Fig.) — plywood the size 1160x580x20 mm. it is manufactured and side walls with a height of 160 mm. In the walls of drilled holes through which will pass the rods, “control” players. The design is held together with glue and screws, and the corners are strengthened by metal squares. The ball did not linger in the corners, glue them into triangular wedges.

REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM

The proposed remote control system (remote control) is executed in the form of attachment to the radio commercial production. It allows you to control ten different loads with up to eight fixed channels (the first pressing — on, second — off) and two not fixed (the operation is possible only when the button is pressed).

ELECTROSTIMULATOR ON A COMPUTER

ELECTROSTIMULATOR ON THE COMPUTERDevices for influencing the so-called biologically active points (BAP) are known to many. Including those created by radio Amateurs. Circuitry underlying some BAT-stimulants, saw light in the pages of “Modeller-designer” (see “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 1 and 3 in 1998). However, to implement them was proposed, as a rule, “miscomputing” database. Well, if to approach from positions of today, when even personal supercomputer are not uncommon?
