LET THE WIND

LET THE WINDThe wind has always been a symbol of impermanence, and attempts to transform its energy into electrical energy has led often to results that are not very encouraging. Indeed, everything you expect from the source of electrical energy stability: clicked the switch and turned on the light. And the wind, alas, changeable. However, to make it a reliable source of electricity possible, to use already well developed scheme with intermediate energy storage battery.

WRITTEN FROM THE DINING

WRITING FROM THE DININGIn my family there was a situation when my daughter went to first grade, and hence it took for her workplace, where they could prepare lessons. However, the area and the interior rooms are not allowed to set Desk. Trying to solve this problem, managed to find another option. Extendable dining table, which stands in one of the rooms was used for this purpose. But with some addenda. It is clear that for the convenience of training is not enough to have only working table surface on which to write and draw. Still need a place where you would gently fold the notebooks, textbooks, pens.

AND ROY IS IN THE BAG

BRISK, WHEEL, REVERSE

BRISK, WHEEL, REVERSE

To the tinkerers, to engage in farming consider themselves not the first year. As a regular reader of “Modeller-designer”, produced (with the help of coffee design) mower, mini moped for transportation of hay, all-terrain vehicle on the tires, several power tillers and mini tractors. Best believe your homemade design, which is readily repeated by neighbors and never failed. It’s the stand on the court readers. Of course, this is a laborer-tractor. With minimal dimensions, nimble; equipped with reverse-reducer, which I have already told (with the app sketches, and other materials) in the pages of the eleventh issue of the magazine for the year 1989.

DIGGING WITHOUT LOSS

DIGGING LOSSLESSThe design, which will be discussed, could be called a potato harvester as it consists of several relatively independent units. The potato is intended to be coupled primarily with a mini-tractor “Ocarinas”, whose description is published in the “Modeller-designer” № 12 in 1996, But since it has a standalone engine, it can be paired with any truck, regardless of, he has a PTO or not. A horse harnessed! I think that the concept of my machine will be useful for other Amateur designers who create their own agricultural machinery.
