STUDENT “ADRENALINE”

STUDENT Before you start talking about the car “Adrenaline” – built student engineering group of Moscow automobile and road Institute (MADI) to participate in the international competition “Formula Student”, it is necessary to say a few words about the history of this event.

In 1976, a number of technical universities of the USA held a contest of student projects of vehicles, which was a great success but the Event left unattended in automotive giants, many participants received job offers from them.

Since then, a large automotive firm hold in the field of view of gifted students, pay them a stipend, provide a variety of assistance with the condition that after graduation, ward will come to work to support his firm.

ELECTRIC car B7

ELECTRIC car B7Australian designer Philip Legerski presented a draft promising sports electric vehicle, able to accelerate to a maximum speed of 500 kilometers per hour.
According to the developer, the purpose of creation of this machine, named B7, was an attempt to prove that cars of this type can be quick to look good and to manage and deliver driving pleasure.
The project Legerski involves the use in the power plant of the car is not heavy and expensive batteries, supercapacitors, which are more powerful, but smaller and lighter than lithium or metal hydride batteries used in existing electric cars. In the motion supercar will be using four electric motors – one for each wheel.

ELECTRONIC TRANSFORMER

ELECTRONIC TRANSFORMERA power transformer is to convert alternating current of one voltage to alternating current of another voltage at a constant frequency. The device in the normal “classic” transformer all know from school physics lessons. The principle of operation is based on electromagnetic induction. In the primary winding under the action of tension in the core induces a magnetic flux proportional to this voltage, which, in turn, an electromotive force of self-induction (EMF) in the secondary windings is directly proportional to the number of turns of these windings.

Electronic transformer (ET) and arranged differently, and the principle of its action is quite different. In fact, ET is a switching power supply — inverter voltage with electronic protection against short circuit, overload and excessive heating of the elements. All energy-saving lamps, lamps, lamps, fluorescent lights, illumination of aquariums and other similar devices are equipped with a FLOOR probe.

WEB 4.0 AND THE IMMORTALITY OF MAN

WEB 4.0 AND IMMORTALITY OF MANTo look into the future, it is enough to have leisure, curiosity and imagination. So I predicted the crisis, and the subsequent hatred of the bankers.
Modern futurology — something between a prose of Arthur C. Clarke and the division of scenario planning for Shell. For example, I sell a mix of lectures, research markets future food or future media and forecasts specific to the company for 10-20 years. So I created scenarios banking-2012 public libraries-2030, education-2025. Reading a lot of specialized literature, I thus use not only their imagination, but also strangers.

KATYUSHA BM-13

KATYUSHA BM-13Scale model 1:25.

THE JET SYSTEM OF VOLLEY FIRE BM-13 “KATYUSHA” ON THE CHASSIS.

“Katyusha” — the informal collective name mobile rocket launchers BM-8 (82 mm) and BM-13 (132 mm). Such plants are actively used in the USSR during the Second World war.

Back in 1916. combat missile for smokeless powder (the prototype of the later missile) was invented by Ivan Platonovich grave. In 1924. he got on a missile and a charge of patent No. 122. Further work on the creation of rockets on smokeless powder continued until the great Patriotic war.

WHEEL SAILING

WHEELS UNDER SAILIn the last decade, especially popular among Amateur designers use motor vehicles on light wheels with cameras-Pneumatics. The amazing maneuverability of these machines prompted the sailing enthusiasts to use the unique properties of the wheel-Pneumatics when you create year-round sailing.

This publication acquaints readers with such a vehicle.

So, get to work. I advise you to start with the most difficult — with the manufacture of the trolley.

Trolley frame is welded from thin steel tubes. That frame turned out to be symmetrical and without bias, it makes sense to build it to build a kind of slipway. In the simplest case — smooth area of the floor on which are mounted, in accordance with the dimensions of the truck front axle and rear fork controlled along with the steering column.
