ERSATZ FUEL “CALLOC”

SUBSTITUTE FUEL

Search methanol for glow motors have always been a big problem. The situation is slightly simplified Pope the publication of interesting material about the ersatz fuel in the “M-K” № 6, 1986. However… was not so easy to find and required for its preparation the solvent oil-based paints. Finally the problem was solved after the publication of a number of other recipes fuel mixtures in the “M-K” n b star 1990. Of all the options the most simple mixture based on gasoline And-76 and AI-93. However, there is little difficulty. On a mixture of perfumes work well only with a special selection of glow candles. But this possibility is not at all.

GENTLE TRUNK

GENTLE TRUNK

There are many clamps to secure the roof rack of the car. However, quite comfortable and no unsightly gutters on the roof I did not have to meet. Offer readers the “M-K” I developed the design of the locking mechanism of the trunk. It was developed with the proviso that in the manufacture of trunk with such clamps can only use the locksmith tools.

GLIDER, WHO BECAME A PLANE

GLIDER, WHICH BECAME THE AIRCRAFTFirm “Gather of waggonfabrik” (better known as just “goth”) at the end of the 1930s, released the first batch of ten-seat amphibious gliders DFS 230 was developed in the German Institute for the development of gliding (Deutches Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug, abbreviated DFS) under the direction of G. Jacobs. At the plant “goth” production of the DFS 230 was engaged in engineer A. Kalkert. Taking a series of DFS 230, Kalkert thought on creating a larger glider capable of carrying 20 soldiers with full equipment, and oversized cargo. He had to have a large hatch with size approximately equal to the cross section of the fuselage, and upper wing. The cargo hatch designer decided to make a hinged tail of the fuselage, as the nose of the glider could get damaged when landing (which often happens). This entailed the use of twin-boom tail. This layout was previously known, but was first applied to aircraft of this size.

TANDEM FOR TWO, THREE, FOUR

TANDEM FOR TWO, THREE, FOURFor a basis we took the road bike (with “women’s” frame), set on it a longitudinal beam of the two aluminum profiles-“parts” and fixed on the beam two seats with backs so that the first rider was able to pedal the front wheel drive and the second conventional chain drive the rear wheels. So we got a double bike with the same dimensions that and serial single. Sitting in the front seat rotations”t pedal for more drive, located in the center of the front wheel, supports the balance, and also serves as the driver. The second rider works the pedals, resulting in the rotation of the rear wheel while sticking the handles on the back of the front seat.

DESIGN GYROPLANE DAS-2M

DESIGN OF A GYROPLANE DAS-2M

The fuselage truss, tubular, collapsible design. The main element of the fuselage is a frame consisting of horizontal and vertical (pole) pipes ø 75X1, made of steel 30KHGSA. They are mounted towing hitch with lock and receiver air pressure, the dashboard, the pilot seat, secured with seat belt, control unit, tricycle, with a nose steerable wheel chassis mounted on motorhome power unit with a pusher propeller, stabilizer, keel with rudder ball joint to the rotor. Under the keel mounted auxiliary tail wheel with a diameter of 75 mm. together with the Pylon struts d 38X2 length 1260 mm, tubular beams, the main wheels d 42X 2 with a length of 770 mm, made of titanium alloy VT-2, and braces d 25X1 length 730 mm of steel 30KHGSA forms of spatial power frame, the center of which is the pilot. With the horizontal tube of the fuselage and the ball joint of the main rotor pylon connects with titanium rails. In the installation of the scarves in the tubes is established the bougies made of aluminum В95Т1.
