WELDING YOUR

WELDING - ITSAlmost 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.

To date built five of these trailers, and they all showed a high operational reliability.

THE LAUNCH OF THE MARCHES!

RUN — THROW!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.
