Among the “walking” toys that kids love to haul on the rope or to push in front of him, the most attractive dynamic: if any item jumping, waving, jumping or rotated. These qualities, it meets the proposed trolley “Clown”: a funny stick figure moves in front of a kid, funny her feet in high boots, glimpsed under bulky suitcases.
To pull a nail from which the bonnet is recessed in the wood, hit it from the opposite side. However, its edge is hopelessly blunted. If the need arises frequently, is to make a small device — a metal plate with stepped holes: pulled right on the tip of the nail, can be beat not Read more…
Glass shelf very well with the mirror. But to mount glass on glass is not so easy. So usually shelf clips different ways under the mirror on the wall. However the design is not the same. Also have to mess up the wall, and this is particularly undesirable if it is tiled.
Almost a quarter of a century are a subscriber of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”. About the same age are engaged in electric welding apparatus (ESA). Convinced that the most appropriate mass and power “svarochnik” – with a toroidal magnetic core (for example, from a burnt-out electric motor power 3-5 kW). Manufacturing technology of such devices has been maintained in the pages of “Modeller-designer” (see, in particular, publication in № 8’92, 11’92, 3’94, 9’94, 1 ’96, 3’96, 8’97, 11’99). From my own experience and practice of other handmade designers, I also believe it is appropriate to emphasize that the idle current from sturdy welding transformer designed for connection to a household 220-volt network should be of the order of 0.5-1 A. If a smaller value of this parameter decreases the power at most – heated magnetic core, and with it the whole of ESA.
The trailer is made in the club “Tourism, and pedal cars”, which I ran for several years. Used in construction sites and technical solutions repeatedly tried and tested in our velomobiles. So the trailer turned out immediately — didn’t even have it, as they say, to bring — and completely met our expectations. To date built five of these trailers, and they all showed a high operational reliability.
Throwing model-polyopia su-24. The model is designed and manufactured in the laboratory aeromodelling Center for children and youth technical creativity of the city of Rybinsk for novice modelers. The prototype has become a modern supersonic bomber with variable geometry (sweep) of the wing su-24, standing in service with the Russian air force. The launch of such models always generate interest among club members, and spectators. And thanks to the simplicity of manufacturing the model of this jet was a great success at the country children’s centres.
Balance small circular saw. After pruning trees in the garden goes into the waste a significant amount of branches of various thickness. Usually they go on the stove. Small branches are easily chopped with an axe, and the larger cut. Hand sawing — it is quite time consuming. To ease the gardening chores, I made a portable circular power saw. Quite light and compact. In addition, it balance, but more on that below.
Ford T – the first mass car. To do one car per month at the beginning of the XX century -a difficult task for teams of skilled mechanics and engineers, but doable. It is realistic to collect in the same time a dozen machines in the presence of a specialized Assembly stocks, uninterrupted supply for the posts of parts and team of trained pickers. However, even thousands of workers using the most modern for that time equipment would not be able to produce tens of thousands of cars per month.
Often, in order to work in a range of electrical oscillations of sound frequencies it is necessary to select the same capacitors. This and various or balanced bridge circuits, and is identical (for electrical options) the channels of a stereo or Quad amplifiers…
Old, seemingly obsolete washing machine— a treasure for zealous owner who loves to make things with their hands. Available it be convenient stainless capacity, small motor AVE-071-4CM (220 V, 180 W, 1350 rpm), ballasts, enough compact body and lots of parts that still can be use. For example, for the solution of many problems of mechanization from the processing of gifts to the garden for fruit juices and vitamin-nutrient mixture to miracle mills with high productivity. Propaganda is the most interesting of these developments, and a lot of attention and my favorite is “modelist-Konstruktor” (see № 12’92, 8’99, 5’2001).
