IMPROVED PROBE

Primitive “control print” — electroputere with two wires and the lamp — not the best device for “continuity” of electric circuits. Commercially available testers and isometry is also called a gift, especially when you have to deal with modern technology, and they are not cheap. So we have electricians to create probes-indicators — versatile, compact and reliable. On one of these devices tell the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 5 for the year 1990.

COLD CONTROL IC

COLD CONTROL CHIPIn refrigerators with mechanical regulator temperature measured on the evaporator. It happens that the evaporator becomes covered with frost, and the thermostat begins to operate with an error, making failures in work of all lagoapraia. To combat this unwanted phenomenon (including — with the advent of frost) refrigerator has to periodically disable. In some designs there is a semi-automatic defrost mode, which the system is embedded a heating element with the corresponding button.

THE FARM WILL FIT: THE WINDMILL SCARECROW

THE FARM WILL FIT

Themed collections about simple but efficient home appliances, without which no cost, private courtyard, “modelist-Konstruktor” published a lot (see for example, № 7’92, 5’95, 6’97, 6’99). However, interest in such developments is unabated to the present time, as evidenced by the editorial mail. Their technical devices designed for the use of scrap materials and home technology available to any novice, brings to the readers Solonin — the inventor and innovator, one of the active authors of our journal.

A QUARTER TON OF CARGO ON BOARD THE “JAVA”

In the photo: at the wheel — the author's son VitalyIs it possible? It would seem that it is hard to imagine this sleek high-speed motorcycle as a truck. However, it perfectly copes with the role of the heavies, thanks to the reliable and durable engine with good fins, as well as ample torque throughout the range of rotation of the crankshaft. I must say that this is my “Java-350/634” sidecar “Velorex-562” operated for ten years. Mileage was about 60 000 km With a full load the bike confidently overcame long distances and on motorways and on dirt roads. The roads and highly rugged terrain was not an obstacle for him. Trouble-free service of the motorcycle in these conditions is a sufficient proof that under normal conditions, in addition to three riders, it is capable of transporting significant cargo. But where to place it? The load capacity of the carriages is limited by the magnitude of 105 kg, to install additional trunk it did not make sense. The logical conclusion is to make a cargo trailer.

BUILD… THE LAKE!

BUILD A LAKE...It has long been observed that the water surface effect on people calming. It is very valuable in our troubled time, when the human nervous system is subjected to constant emotional tension and stress. That’s why nice to countryside passing near any body of water. If there is no nearby natural, it is possible to construct an artificial, albeit small, but directly on the garden or summer cottage. Moreover, there is an option that does not require special materials and cost and available in the production of almost everyone.
