WINCH: PLOWMAN, KARCZEWSKI AND… MINESWEEPER

WINCH: PLOWMAN, KARCZEWSKI AND MINESWEEPER...

“Harnessed… the winch” — under this title was published in the “Modeller-designer” № 8, 1995, the material on the system that I designed of selectresponse. Not the last role in it plays a towed plow, the design of which proposed to make a very lightweight (less tired during the transfer to the beginning of each furrow). And now I propose readership new variant of the plough-“feathers.” A lot of it is really small — 13.7 kg (excluding handles), plus optional (for a better entry into the soil, cutting and turning layer) and 4.5-kg weighted. From my earlier designs and prototypes, the author of which is G. Odegov from Nizhny Tagil (“modelist-Konstruktor” N9 6, 1990), the proposed design is the presence of a deep notch in the working body, significantly reduces the resistance of the soil, and a number of other technical solutions.

PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE BIKE

EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE BIKEAssociate Professor of the Department “Technology of mechanical engineering” of the Mari state technical University M. L. Popov, having a great experience with Bicycle sport, sent a letter to the editor which described and theoretically substantiated his view on the problem of improving the reliability of the bearing unit of the carriage. Today we publish only constructive and technological proposal of the author. More than 20 years of experience continuous all-weather and all-season operation of my bike model-542 “Sport” issued in 1974, the total mileage of which amounted to about 100 thousand km, as well as analysis diary entries have led to the conclusion that the bottom bracket for reliability is in fourth place after floreina, driven sprocket and drive chain.

“LASONIC” FROM CHEBOKSARY

Double car “Alison-nick-2” specially constructed for movement in urban environments. Therefore, before designing, I have formulated the main requirements that had to meet the future machine: small size, minimal curb weight and high agility combined with good stability on the road. Having some experience in the construction of all-terrain vehicle (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 10, 1996) on the basis of design from Yerevan S. Chopanova, decided to apply it here.

IF YOU NEED A TRUCK

IF YOU WANT A TRUCK“Passenger car” combined with cargo trailer is an extremely convenient vehicle. However, it is not without flaws, which sometimes nullify all its advantages. In particular, significantly reduces the maneuverability of the car and it becomes almost impossible to reverse because the motorists unlike professional drivers a bad maneuver composite vehicles. Low passing “the Zhiguli” or “Zaporozhets” with a massive “tail” at the country and field roads. So, you need a simple and inexpensive malogruzovaja type scooter “Ant”, but with a closed cabin and higher payload. And best of all — based on motorcycle components and assemblies: this will allow you to register it as a cargo motor transport funds. Moreover, motor units are much cheaper car.

STARTS… CARDBOARD

Going into the club “Technical modeling”, we saw a lot of bench models made of paper and cardboard by One of our members suddenly suggested — and in fact the GAK you can build and track racing. Then it will go is available for all thick thick paper or thin cardboard! This material allows to implement all the plans and fantasies in the manufacture of the trace models.

PROPELLER -THE PROPELLER UNIVERSAL

PROPELLER -THE PROPELLER UNIVERSALThe driving force of the engine during the flight of model airplanes, aerovision or aeromobile is the thrust of the propeller. The quality of the workmanship and clarity of the selection of the propulsion depends largely on the General characteristics of the constructed model. It is therefore clear that the design process of the propellers is paid maximum attention. However, the calculation methods of the selection of propellers is highly intricate, time-consuming and not very accurate. Today we recommend a number of well-established screws, already tested on a mass micro-motors internal combustion.

NOT FLOUR, AND THE CURRENT

No flour, and the current

Live in the taiga wilderness, starved (fuel for the diesel generator running out) energy rations. And next carelessly rushing river. Natural, so to speak, a source of energy, what look like rotting remnants of the water wheel of the old believer mill.
That would make the river once again to work for the people! Just to make sure she gave no flour, and much-needed electric current. But where to find the description acceptable for manufacturing small hydroelectric?
