HEAT AS THE FIREPLACE

WARM AS THE FIREPLACENice in the dark frosty evening to sit by the radiant heat of the heater. But it becomes more comfortable when in it, like in a real fireplace, flickering “flame” and crackling “wood”. However, the industrial designs, simulation of burning firewood slowly, and all attempts to improve the installed impeller foil give only partial improvement results.

WITH THE “BLIZZARD” ON THE VIRGIN SNOW

In a snowmobile “Blizzard”, which I constructed based on many developments, published in “M-K”, merged circuit elements of classic motoart, “amfitriti”, the snow. pneumona and aerolis, that is, almost all the famous trails of mechanisms. However, my vehicle can not be assigned to any of these groups — it’s the combination motorolaring propeller and skis, which is the driver. So I called my snowmobile motoliam. The ka drive them really very similar to the usual walk on the wads, because the driver drives a snowmobile standing up. Experience of its operation showed that the scheme has a number of advantages: high flexibility and good permeability at quite a satisfactory speed — up to 15-25 km h

COMPACT WALK-BEHIND

Homemade cultivator it is desirable to make universal, so it can perform various agricultural operations. However, to create a design that is optimal for any work at the farm, is not easy. So, powerful, heavy duty motor-plow, as a rule, is too broad and clumsy in the aisles, and brisk the tiller can’t beat plowing the dense earth. One solution to this problem is offering our reader from Krasnodar territory Vladimir Yakovlev. Its compact one-wheeled machine will help in the treatment of garden beds, will not damage plants close together and, if necessary, in just 10 minutes will turn into two-wheeled motor-plow.

However, having certain advantages over the others, has its drawbacks: it can be bopsa the mass of the device or its pereprodannosti, require significant machining of the parts, or poor performance.

RELIABLE SITE

Often prichinoi breakage of cord up there is a gap of a rope, peretirkoj in the place of its connection with the rocking control. The reliability of this articulation can be improved in the following way. The hole in the shoulder, rocking gently reams, and in which is inserted the stripped copper or bronze rod. Read more…

SHARE EXPERIENCES

This idea is incorporated in the letter of our reader A. K. Kartseva from Yasinovataya, Donetsk region. About Aleksey Konstantinovich making models of ships and acquired this most interesting case a lot of experience. He offers readers a six technological and design tips and at the same time encourages modelers to share their experiences.
