OBEDIENT TRAILER

COMPLIANT TRAILERAfter reading in the “M-To” article V. Sedov, “the Trailer for “Jupiter” I thought that the exchange of experiences, ideas and technical solutions encourages and facilitates the work of Amateur designers. Perhaps my thoughts and study will interest readers, come across them on new interesting solutions or at least will help in the technical work.

Steamer from childhood

Steamer from childhoodWhat is usually associated the term “straight-through”? Of course, with aircraft jet engines to achieve the highest supersonic speeds. And how can become a propulsive ship …? This is what we tell you today. “The heart of The engine,” the proposed mikrosudna is an unusual device, based on the principle of action on convection. Recall that a similar effect is found in the use of liquid cooling devices of some automobile engines ( “Trabant” and others). On these machines, the water circulates independently, as warmer tends to rise up and fall down cold. Thus the cooling system of “pumping” water without using any pump.

MINI JEEP “PONY”

MINI-JEEP It just so happened that the car in our country is becoming less of a means of transportation and all more luxury. Accessibility for a person of average wealth — not a speculator, not a businessman, not a banker close to zero. Those hundreds of thousands of rubles, I ask today for any car, not save any “works righteousness”.

THE LIGHT WILL ACTIVATE THE SIREN

LIGHT WILL ACTIVATE THE SIREN

The proposed German magazine “Funkamateur” light relay is activated when light falls on the photoresistor R1 (see diagram) — when this occurs, a loud siren sound. Transistors VT1, VT2 equivalent odnoimennogo of the transistor included under the circuit of the sawtooth generator. The oscillator frequency is determined by the capacitance of the capacitor C1, the internal resistance of the photoresistor R1 and the resistor R2. Transistors VT3, VT4 included in the Darlington circuit, perform the function of the AF amplifier. It is possible to replace. Photoresistor — any domestic; transistors: VT1 – КТ3107, KT361, КТ203; VT2, VT3 blocking – KT315, КТ312; VТ4 – КТ503, КТ603, КТ815 with any alphabetic indexes.

“GRUPAS” BUSINESS AND SPORTS

As a rule, the design of velomobiles produced by homebrew are applications. That is, if the velomobile is designed for sports, speed runs, then all of its design features correspond exactly to this, and it is unlikely such a machine will be able to exploit an older person for the daily commute. And, on the contrary, completely eliminated the sports participation of household malogruzovaja-workers. This distinction is understandable, since for velomobiles of different types of completely different design principles, design loads and as a result design components and parts, design. But as it turned out, “harnessed to a cart horse and quivering DOE” is still possible. Confirmation of this — I have made velomobile “Grupas”.

WITH SAIL – IN THE HANDS

WITH SAIL - IN THE HANDS OFIn the early 70-ies I happened to be a member of origin in the country of Windsurfing. In those years, sailing enthusiasts Board has high hopes for its extensive and widespread, but, unfortunately, a truly massive this sport did not, although the number of adherents of the sail increased significantly over the past two decades.

EACH HOLE – ON THE SPOT

EACH HOLE - ON THE SPOTStarting to manufacture handmade furniture, a home master, most do not have the skills of carpenters professionals are faced with two main problems (not counting, of course, of the shortage of materials and tools) — how exactly to cut and how exactly to drill! Indeed, those who master these seemingly simple operations, it becomes on the shoulder almost any design, but… the skill takes time, and burned once, some often give up before they have lost all desire to make.
