MODEL-THE WINNER

MODEL-WINNERThe constructor of this model class SA Maxim Shekhvatov, a schoolboy from the city of Elektrostal (the Moscow region) and the champion of Russia 2001 in two classes of sports rockets SA and S4A. His model made on the so-called paper technology. Fairing glue on the metal mandrel of the five paper petals. The mandrel before it is heated and smeared with mastic “Edelvays”. After cooling of the postmark on the mandrel is applied to the petals, smeared with white glue, and smooth to prevent wrinkles.

TRACTOR-TERRAIN VEHICLE

TRACTOR-TERRAIN VEHICLEThis machine is created by a Hadith Shagalievich Shatalin sons from the village Sermenevo. Engine — diesel D-37 electrical equipment — from tractors T-40, axles with wheels from GAZ-66, from him and the frame, but it’s a bit narrowed and strengthened. Bridges shortened and fixed to the frame rigidly. Transmission: clutch basket, gear shift —from ZIL. Steering — the tractor “Belarus”, cabin — tractor T-4, fuel tank — from DT-75.

WITHOUT ALTERATION OF THE POWER SUPPLY

WITHOUT ALTERING THE POWER SUPPLYIn Amateur radio practice, there are situations when 9-volt DC source you need to obtain 12, and then a higher output voltage. Bail in such cases can I designed a compact transformerless adapter. Made on the basis of two or three common chips and four transistors, it will allow first to improve the initial voltage of approximately 17 V, and then to output the desired 12 V. And stable.

CD PLAYER from old COMPUTER

CD PLAYER from old COMPUTERRecently there is a rapid displacement of the cassettes compact discs (CD). Among the reasons for this and the continuous increase of requirements to quality of sound reproduction and virtually unlimited service life “compacts”, and reducing the value gap between them and the tape carriers of audio information.

However, equipment to play music CDs is still very expensive and not everyone can afford its purchase.

RADIO COMMANDS WILL BE MORE!Under the heading “advice to the Modeler” magazine “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 11 ’01 published material on how to adapt the radios from cheap toy cars of Chinese production to the remote control equipment, which is lacking in the circles of children’s technical creativity. Penetrating the essence of the proposed technical solutions, I came to the conclusion that the chip KY011 encoder base of the transmitter with a more efficient application allows you to enter two more commands through the use of the 1st and 6th “back-up” pulses.
