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 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.
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. 
“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?
Many of you probably heard about the interesting winter sport — skijoring in which competing skiers towed by a motorcycle. In the Nordic countries is cultivated in this sport — towage of the skier by a horse. The vehicle, which we would like to introduce you to, will allow you to fully experience the charm of a high-speed slide on the slopes without resorting to using horses and not burdening a fellow motorcyclist (who wants to travel in the winter on an open two-wheeled car!).
The peak of development of hydroaviation was in the middle of the 1930-ies. The main advantage of amphibians compared to ground vehicles, flying over extensive areas, it was considered a possibility to land on water surface in case of an emergency, even with waves up to five points. But as time went on. The reliability and service life of the aircraft led to the rapid displacement of the seaplane first with the airlines and then military aircraft. Operation of land planes was easier, and their weight returns payload, as well as a high aerodynamic efficiency has reduced the cost of commercial transportation. The development of the airfield network and other transport arteries, and the appearance of helicopters resulted in an almost complete elimination of the flying boat in commercial aviation. There was only a small segment of the lungs of amphibians, serving tourists and residents of remote, “forgotten God” corners of the Earth.
