WARDROBE WITH… POTATOES

RACK WITH POTATOES...In our area, where most of the year is negative or close to zero temperature, it is foolish not taken advantage of the free cold storage of vegetables, fruit, roots. It would be nice. for example that the houses were built with the corresponding chambers in the walls of the kitchen, where he was would be Santa Claus. But somehow, the architects of this not yet provide. However, the situation can be corrected by yourself. I have made and for several years successfully operated kitchen wall Cabinet-column for storing potatoes. Through the intake tube, it enters from the street the cold air. Overlapping holes if necessary, you can adjust the temperature in the column.

AMPHIBIOUS-SURVIVOR

AMPHIBIAN-SURVIVORTourist boat-amphibian “AMFA” was built by Vitaly G. Lebedev 35 years ago. Over many years of operation it is, of course, has undergone several upgrades, but inherent in it original constructive ideas are outdated. AMFA is still pleasing to his Creator and his family, demonstrating on the water and on land of excellent quality. In the late 50-ies, when life after the war became easier and the children have grown up, I wanted to show them new places. We lived almost on the Bank of the canal Moscow — Volga, and water transport, as you know, the cheapest. So was born my idea to build a boat.

ELECTRICS – THIS IS PROMISING

ELECTRICS IS PROMISING

In the previous issue of “Modeller-designer” followers of aeromodelling was able to gather information about competition rules and guidelines in the new are gaining wider appreciation, direction of technical work — the electrics. I hope that no less favor in entering new theme will bring and a brief description of a few specific successful models that can serve as a kind of “reference point” in the design of this promising technique will become a basis of creation of similar machines. Moreover, the presented model of precisely those classes that are cultivated at present in our country.

RETURN TO BOOMERANG

THE RETURN OF THE BOOMERANGToday the state of technical creativity of pupils, I think we all know — it is deplorable. And even a talented teacher to inspire children is becoming increasingly difficult. One of the reasons the sharp deterioration of the material base of non-school institutions that lead to exclusion from group work sites that require long time to manufacture. It is possible to offer teachers some technical circles (primarily — aircraft modeling) to include in the plan of work of the first year of lessons build exotic aerodynamic projectile like a boomerang. Experience shows that it is quite affordable for newbies. Requires wood and simple tools: a plane, a knife, a rasp and sandpaper. Production time is two or three classes.

The arch is fixed in the opening of the wall by means of screws and wooden bosses mounted on the support-base that is attached at the top of the opening. Making the arch begins with the selection of the shape and size of the circuit (in the figure, are the most common form). The contour of the arch is drawn on a piece of cardboard in full size. The layout is only one half to use it as a template for a complete circuit (see figure).

QUIET GLASS

Often the glass in a bookcase or sideboard nasty rattle. Than just not trying to fix: paper tubes, rubber inserts, scraps of eraser… But it’s options until the next retraction, and then re-bung. Offer in a place where the edges of the glass overlap each other to enclose between them the block of foam. When Read more…
