WRIST TESTER

WRIST TESTERAppeared in stores digital multimeters seriously pressed the usual “switches-instrument Toolkit”. However, expensive components (the battery), and sudden circuit failures limit the possibility of using these multitesters. And in the field-conditions, they are generally unsuitable, as ranked by now outdated “respectable” turnout isometry: danger drop, break, drop solder, the difficulty in retaining “the weight” during the measurements all lead to the loss of an expensive device. Therefore it is better to make a special microtester that meets the stringent requirements of the work in “field” conditions and convenient as a wrist watch. Well base and a “measurement head” of a homemade can, in particular, become familiar to all and accessible indicator of the recording level, is widely used at the time in designs of transistor tape recorders domestic production.

SNOWMOBILE: IDEAS AND DESIGNS

SNOWMOBILE: IDEAS AND DESIGNS(The end. Beginning at No. 2, 1975)

 

Teacher Stanislav I. Pozdnyakov from the city of Berezina in the Minsk region, has been building snowmobiles for almost 10 years. He set himself the seemingly narrow task: to make a winter car for use on snow-covered roads — roads and country. In the process, the designer has found some original solutions of individual units. And although the appearance of his car is not very attractive, it is comfortable enough and that the basic, reliable in operation (see photo).

NOT HAVING SERVED FOUR MONTHS…

NOT AFTER SERVING FOUR MONTHS...Fighter-bomber CURTISS BF2C-1. The main suppliers of single carrier-based fighter for the U.S. Navy until December of 1932 was the company of Curtiss and Boeing. At first, when the Navy had only one aircraft carrier “Langley” and only two fighter squadrons of carrier-based aircraft, between these firms, there was little competition. Military aircraft bought in small quantities from the other, trying to equally support both an alternative source.

THE GENERATION OF LOSERS

GENERATION OF LOSERSThe superiority of the American fleet at sea after the Second world war was so undisputed that the creation of new warships, with the exception of aircraft carriers for the United States look out of date. Even with the advent of the only potential rival — the Soviet Union — high-speed submarines (first new diesel and then nuclear) not only changed the situation. At the disposal of the American admirals had bend pretty new destroyers, which were redirected to the new challenges. One of the most ambitious in the history of fleet upgrades — FRAM (Fleet Rehabilitation And Modernisation programme restoration and modernisation of the fleet) the ships of the PLO became more than 130 destroyers “Fletcher”, “Gearing” and “Allen M. Sumner” (see “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 8 in 2002). Updated the ships it provided the needs of the escort and anti-submarine service in the decade ahead.

MULTIMAROCHNAYA UNIVERSAL

MULTIMAROCHNAYA UNIVERSALWhy “multichronic”? Because this welding transformer (CT) has many important additional functions. If in traditional “svarochnik”, which has a magnetic core assembled from P – and sh-shaped plates, sometimes nowhere to squeeze at least one or two auxiliary coil, the proposed torus, a doughnut shaped design of the free space was enough. In the end, he is capable of AC/DC to cook “five”, and batteries to charge and metal melting, feeding safe voltage elektrovyzhigatel in circles “Skilful hands”, and perform a host of other things. Fit even to put the question differently: and what a winding and for what purpose wants to additionally have the user of this ST?!
