In the February issue of “Modeller-designer” we met article on the development of a new class of car — unmanaged vetrogonov. Don’t know how reacted to the most interesting suggestion of the authors of that article and the magazine automodeling Federation of sports of Russia, but in our circle it was accepted “on hurrah” — so interesting, affordable and promising was this topic. Work on a new type of machines we started with, that surely will be useful to all, tion interested in constructing vetrogonov — with the development of minimized similarity of the internal rules of the competition and technical constraints applicable to unusual models. On the last point we were limited to only the maximum area of the driving model sailing arms (no more than 25 dm2) and the total dimensions of the machine (prepared by the start condition, it must fit into a cube with sides not more than 1000 mm). Under these constraints, Verkade should be potentially very fast and quite “personable” for forms that will go only to the benefit of the attractiveness and popularity of the competition in the new class. It should be noted that the rough calculations of the maximum potential speed of movement convinced us in the fact that would be very useful, additional development is reduced “oneorzero” type vetrogonov. Here are our suggestions tanovi: sail area limit of 10-15 dm2, and dimensions described Nuba 500-600 mm.
KEYCHAIN WRENCH
For the door keys there are all kinds of ring and other key chains that bind them in one bundle. And what spanners worse? If they (unilateral construction) have a lot of drill holes on the handles and push the wire or rope to keep and use them will be more convenient. V. GOLOVASHIN, fish
Homemade welding machines are engaged not the first year. In their manufacture into account the advice and recommendations of the “Model construction” and other well-established technical publications and reference literature. Started with “Welding baby” (No. 11, ’87), using the Latr ready with the primary winding. For secondary — recommended magazine, Shino-wire not found. Dare to wind the desired number of turns of the flexible stranded wire 6 mm2 in vinyl insulation. And what? Of course, such a device quickly overheated even when welding of cellular electrode. To somehow solve the problem associated with cooling, have decided to omit the “svarochnik”… in the water. Came from the fact that the secondary winding is great for insulation. And primary, which went before the slider wasn’t exposed as proactively managed to cover it in several layers of protective varnish.
Many quite rightly believe that automobilism is one of the most exciting and spectacular forms of diverse technical activities. Here you can find a lot of sharply differing from other classes of models, including, it seems, the whole conceivable spectrum of interests of athletes and fans of all ages. However, in automodelisme there is a continuous development. Today, we are talking about a completely new class of RC — “Buggy-8D”, which in Russia is more than short. The first official information about it was entered the Central self-similar club in edition of changes and additions to the rules of the competition for the self-similar sport at the end of 1993. In the same year took place in Tambov and the first “booster”, the championship of Russia in the new class. Participated athletes using exclusively machine-handmade. Unfortunately, the result of these competitions was due to poor weather conditions is almost zero.
In October 1996 in the Udmurt Republic celebrated the 65th anniversary of the system of children’s technical creativity. In 1931 in Izhevsk was opened the first children’s technical station, later received the status of Republican. Over the years many students RSUT became heroes of the Soviet Union, doctor of technical Sciences, honored workers of science and culture, managers of industrial enterprises, masters of sports. Best work 236 young technicians Udmurt Republic were awarded medals VDNH USSR, many leaders awarded gold and silver medals, received the title of laureates of the NTTM, 42 pupil participated in the international exhibitions in Japan, France, Germany, Belgium and other countries.
