In issue 9 of our magazine, a story was published with the exhibition NTTM-2011. Despite the rather significant amount, it was told only about transport designs, developed the student creative groups and young inventors. Side by side with them demonstrated their achievements and more young modelers and designers. Their work represented a variety of directions of scientific-technical creativity: from simple scale models to innovative technologies and projects of space systems. And it would be unfair not to tell about them.
DEAD BRANCHES: WILL BE GREEN IF A TREE AGAIN?
After reviewing long series of projects the reader is already well placed to judge myself about some of the doctrines of the Soviet fleet development-related class cruisers. In brief these can be summarized in couple of words: universality and self-sufficiency. It is not surprising that in seeking to achieve these cornerstones in the end, there appeared a giant among modern missile ships – type “Kirov”. Another branch of “self-sufficient” combat units of the fleet of the Soviet Union became the cruiser-helicopter carrier “Moskva” and “Leningrad”, also very versatile ships. But they turned out to be only an intermediate on the way to the emergence of these monsters hybridization of aircraft carriers.
UNIVERSAL BATTERY CHARGER
As you know, the cost of electrochemical cells has increased significantly. Therefore, many owners of portable radio equipment are beginning to use batteries. And they must be timely and properly charge. Of course, when the apparatus used a bit (and besides, it is all the same type), the problems with no charge. After all, to get a good charger (memory) for a renewable source of electricity in a single “radioimage” is much easier than, say, to ensure the viability and flashlight (and it 2хД-0.55 C), and all-wave receiver (5хД and 0.26 D), and tester (Sht-0,06). In addition, note that the proposed market memory in the majority of the road is not very reliable, is designed only for a certain type of batteries, and a strictly fixed number of elements.
ROLLS ON… WEIGHT
Rolls of tracing paper, graph paper or drawing conveniently stored not in the supine position, and… hanging. The advantages of this method of storage is obvious: better use the volume of the enclosure, faster be found the necessary drawings, and finally, they don’t crease. To hang the rolls, it is enough to put them on Read more…
RUBBER-ENGINE “FORMULA”
When among students who have mastered only the basics of the original automodelisme, comes to talking about the class of simple machines, rubber motor, it is submitted immediately think “sophomoric”. They say, in the age of radio, heavy duty electric motors and internal combustion engines are very popular and widespread at the time the class is now an anachronism and good except for exploring the world of car.
MINI-MOKIK ON LAND AND WATER…
Mini makiki always use the boys great success. And for good reason! Small size, cost-effective, modern appearance, excellent performance — what more can you ask for? Maybe that’s why many of them roll up his sleeve so take tools. After all, if you try, you can do mokik, able to compete with serial two-wheeled machines. However, it is not very easy, but it’s worth it.
ETERNAL AREA
Any derevyanny th box of planks or plywood is most afraid of attacks from the angles they are weaker than other parts of the structure. To protect these vulnerable places can be a metal oulcome. Take some thin sheet metal, cut in accordance with the figure, fold along the dotted line and get ready the Read more…
MECHANICAL HORSE “SCARCE”
This mini-tractor, Y. V. BALABIN, Amateur designer from Moscow city Lotoshino, built from what was found in a garage at home, with friends, in a scrap yard. However, “Scarce” (as he called his mini-tractor) is in the extensive garage of craftsman privileged position. Despite the fact that next to him are still jeep “Hugo” mini-mobile “Colibri”, the mechanical horse and maintenance — first and foremost, and repair in the shortest possible time. But how else? “Baby” is in fact the breadwinner of the family of its Creator! Without him and the garden for planting potatoes treated, and the crop will not be harvested.

“POLITBURO” – THE LOCOMOTIVE OF KOLOMNA
Locomotive PB-21 of issue, 1934. In the early 1930-ies the USSR had embarked on the reconstruction of Railways, in particular, the decision not to build cars with the number of axes less than four. Rolling stock was assumed to be equipped with automatic couplers and air brakes automatic. For the traction was designed and built powerful locomotives – freight and passenger FD IP. It was planned and the electrification of the Railways; it was built Сс11 electric locomotives, cargo and passenger vehicles ВЛ19. In addition, the Central lokomotivostroenie Bureau (CLPB) together with the plant “Dinamo” has designed a locomotive designed for pure passenger services. It was a very original car, not like any one of the locomotives of the time. Moreover, this engine was absolutely unique – a hitherto nothing of the kind in our country were not built.
