In the multi-individual homes usually have Autonomous water supply system, which consists of a boiler, pipes, radiators and the surge tank. The inner walls of the tank is always wet from the constant evaporation and wetting with the expansion of water in the heating system. The reservoir is intensely rust inside and rust and fills the system, threatening congestion.
Appearance and many of the technical characteristics of the SUV, created basically to overcome the terrain, are already present today in the prestigious universal car that perfectly behave on the roads. The ancestor of these machines is quite rightly considered the released in 1994 it was an asphalt all-wheel drive TOYOTA RAV4, which is the abbreviation of RAV in the name comes from the Recreation Vehicle, which translates as “the car to stay”.

Even in the recent past 10АС9 sound system, each sound column which contains two versatile dynamic loudspeaker (one for low and medium frequencies and the other, with a diffuser of smaller diameter for higher), it was considered perfectly acceptable for a home stereo. And electrical parameters it was on a high level: power 10 W, impedance DC current 4 ohms, audio frequency response 40 to 18,000 Hz. With the advent of so-called Hi-Fi equipment these speakers have become increasingly depart among the almost Museum pieces.
Inspired by the originality of technical solution, published in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 11’78, I modified the circuit for fluorescent lamps and for many years its use in residential lighting fixtures. As in the prototype, economical and not scarce ЛДЦ40 (ЛДЦ80) light up instantly, their work is not accompanied by annoying clicks and “wink” for missing an unreliable starter. And best of all — for such lighting you can even use the bulb.
On the roads and cross roads of Latvia in recent time, new sporty micro cars — buggy, built at the Central station of young technicians of the Republic. One of them — school “Buggy-350” has been awarded to a screening at the NTTM-74. These nimble, agile machine with the same success moving on dirt roads, highway and rugged terrain. They are universal in their application: essential for competitions outside of tracks and highways may be used for training high school students to avtodelo.
If the Americans and their old and new allies after the Second world war almost completely switched light power their fleets on the task of escort and anti-submarine warfare, the Soviet fleet was absolutely other problems. With the beginning of the cold war, the Soviet Union, in fact, was in the position in which two decades ago was Japan. The only difference is that the industrial strength of our country in the late 40-ies was significantly greater, and political and economic interests associated with marine problems much less. However, because Stalin was going to continue its policy of challenging the world domination of the United States, the development of the Navy was deemed necessary. And the way this development (with the obvious and undeniable initial superiority of the United States at sea) remained the same as that at the time chosen by the Japanese: the creation of individually more powerful combat ships than those built in the West. And to do this was becoming typical of our government in a big way.
Many historians of the Russian fleet passed the XIV century and goes straight from the campaigns of the Kievan princes to Byzantium if not Peter the Great, at least to the campaign of Ivan the terrible in 1552, Kazan.
