IN THE WAKE OF THE “BIG BROTHER”
After the complete defeat in 1898 in the war with the United States, Spain, once a great naval power, retreated far back and fell into a deep “hibernation”. Moral decline in society the worst way combined with political instability and severe financial problems. It is not surprising that to implement the first major of the marine program managed to start only after 10 years when the government has taken decisive action. Perhaps chief among these was the creation of the national shipbuilding company “Sociedad española de A. Nawal”, which was to revive the Spanish fleet. Good idea interfered with the traditional obstacle: lack of funds. And then the “noble dons” made good progress, offering to buy a quarter of all of the assets of British firms. “Investors” were going to as on selection — “Vickers”, “Armstrong” and “John brown”. Now the Spaniards were able to calculate not only English money but also to acquire new technologies and modern projects. They immediately thought that their country is washed by two seas, or rather, a sea and an ocean. Therefore, shipbuilding yards started in El Ferrol in the Atlantic in the North and Cartagena in the Mediterranean sea. And the British discovered so addicted now to their new friends, the secret folder with the drawings.
SALT VS ICE
It is known that the pillars fences and foundations, even buried, in severe winters wimobaiausy: permafrost like pushes them out of the land. To prevent this from happening, I suggest when you install them dig in next to the depth of the pit cut of any pipe, which is then to pour large salt. The Read more…
FLYCATCHER
No, not the bird and the trap is impromptu from large plastic bottles of soft drink. The bottle must be cut in half and the upper part of the insert inside the bottom so that it went tight, but the neck did not reach the bottom is to pour inside a little bait — broth Read more…
ELECTRONIC “MATCH”
The proposed electrosurgery, I am sure, will find its rightful place in the kitchens have gas stoves, when the ignition of the gas burner appliances and other devices with the “blue fuel”. It is convenient and trouble free. It can make for a night or two, pre-armed with a small piece of one-sided foil fiberglass and a minimum of inexpensive and common parts. A faithful guide to action will serve as a sketch of the printed circuit Board and Assembly drawing.
THE DRAIN WIRE
In the country rain water falling from the height of the chute or breaks over time, blind area, or sprays from filled, but overflowing capacity which hurts the Foundation and walls. I’m doing the so-called gentle storm drain attaching to the gutter a homemade circuit of thick wire cutting and twisting it in double ring.
MODE SPOT WELDING
I made welding machine is a well-proven in practice a modernized version of the device description and drawings of which are published in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 3, 1966. Most importantly — new “svarochnik” significantly more powerful than its predecessor, easier to manufacture and operate. In the absence of the kind of “bells and whistles” it allows you to securely connect steel sheet with thickness up to 3 mm. However, the mode of operation is one of the most necessary most homebrew spot welding.
THE “PATCHWORK MONARCHY” AND ITS SUCCESSORS
Speaking about the Austro-Hungarian Empire, historians experience a certain difficulty — classify or not to classify it among the great powers. On the one hand, the dual monarchy was noticeably inferior to the rest of the political monsters of Europe and the United States and economic and military power and influence. On the other — the successor of once one of the most significant European countries tried hard to maintain its own line in everything, including in shipbuilding. Unfortunately, the “patchwork monarchy”, as ironically called her neighbors, detractors over the motley Nations and autonomies, is not shining more resources to create the naval forces. In particular, this concerned the cruisers, even those of a purely defensive “fleet of coastal defense”, is not going to stick out beyond the Adriatic.
CABIN MIRAZH-FAMILY BOAT
“When you live on the shore of a large reservoir with a picturesque coast, it is a sin to spend vacation in foreign lands. Especially attractive the summer vacation on the water. Of course, it is necessary to have some kind of flotation device. In our family, for example, there is a cabin boat with two powerful motors, which for many years we proceeded Rybinsk reservoir up and down. Do I need to tell you what a pleasure and what impressions we receive from these trips?
