“SPACE” IN THE WAY

The journal “modelist-Konstruktor” already published materials created by skilled craftsmen in Altai region opposed two-cylinder engines with integrated gearboxes (No. 3, 1987, and No. 8 for the year 1989). Now — the story of the machine for which they are intended, as well as an improved engine, M-40, assembled from parts motorcycle motors IZH-P-4 and Il-W-5 and tractor “poscache” PD-10.

The main problem that he faced at the beginning of their labors, is the choice of design of the future vessel. Once a few years ago in a similar situation, I decided that the easiest way is to make the sailboat of the tourist serial portable kayaks.

A COMPACT CAR WITH CHARACTER ROVER

Walked around it, looked under the hood, under the bottom, then sat in the cockpit and says, “let’s Go!” We got on the highway, ride. At the end of the major shows on the hill: “got it?” I’ll try, I say. Began to climb. Passenger my stiffened in the seat.

And all because there is no major inherent to the welding apparatus of the alternating current feature — intermittent arcing at the overflow of the sinusoid of the supply voltage through zero (Fig.1).

THE SOLDERING OF THE RESISTOR

SOLDERING OF A RESISTORI recommend readers of the magazine is easy to count, easy to manufacture and very reliable electric soldering iron. At my house, for example, these range from “krohotulki” for work with microelectronics to powerful “ax” with which to patch a leaky metal tanks, repairing wells, filters and other large items. Moreover, the heating element of each electrical device is… the appropriate power resistor (type PE or PEV), powered by household outlet voltage is 220 V. the resistance, if they cannot be avoided, reactive, precise, capacitive, allowing to solve very complex electrical problem with the minimum dimensions of the devices.
