THE SOVIET “LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHTS”
The state of the Soviet cruise fleet in the early 30-ies of the last century can hardly be described as sad. The last ships of this class light cruisers of “Svetlana” have not been completed. Of the remaining into operation relatively quickly introduced, only one unit in the Baltic and the Black sea — “Red Crimea” and “Chervona Ukraine”, respectively. The third “lucky”, and with a much more interesting shipbuilding fate, became the “Admiral Lazarev”. Ship, ready to 1918, nearly 70%, after the revolution, became the object of various plans. In 1924 the Council of Labor and Defense passed a resolution on the completion of the cruiser with the installation of eight 203-millimetrovogo taken from old ships that are not subject to recovery. However, in the following year, Soviet designers started to create a fundamentally new naval gun. Original it was almost all starting caliber.
ROCKET – PARITEL’
In one of the rooms “M-K” in the report from the championship of Russia on model rockets, I noted the rocket plane category S4 Nikolay Tsygankov team in Murmansk region. I must say that the chosen scheme with a large wingspan (about 950 mm) and elongation of about 20 provides good performance as well. This contributes to the convexo-concave profile of the wing, and elliptical shape of the bearing surface when viewed from above. And external contours of the tail look perfect. All this allows to a minimum to reduce aerodynamic drag. Originally decided N. Tsygankov and the problem of drag reduction during takeoff model. He used double-folding “ears” (consoles) of the rocket and to prevent the occurrence of flutter of the fixed wing is folded in three points (instead of the usual – in two points), securing the third hook-latch on the tail boom.
HANGER BIKE
Indeed, the problem of storage in the apartment forever preventing bike will be able to decide if you pin at the top of the corridor wall a kind of hanger for him. Hanger consists of two hinged bracket hinged mounted on a common base. The brackets top holes under the frame of the bike.

SIBERIAN WAGON
Offer readers acquainted with the original design of universal self-propelled tools, built by my brother Alexander. As he says (jokingly, of course), the idea of such a machine came to him out of laziness. Very much wanted all his life to do the heavy unproductive jobs, because, unfortunately, the village was not uncommon, when the peasant is forced to use antiquated agricultural tools.

Strange trail remains for these sleds, rapidly descending from the mountain: the impression is that someone drove on one ski. And only bends on the side added short stroke of the second track. Unusual sports equipment, the construction of which is available to all lovers of breathtaking skiing the steepest slopes, has developed our reader from Magnitogorsk Sergei Chadin.
