LITTLE MICRO-CAR “CRAB”

LITTLE MICRO-CAR Not for them the track of the reps! Your creative impulse they send, for example for roads technical search. Only what no one else did, and the only way never done before! It is no coincidence that this team such a name: “CLUB ETERNAL SEARCH”! His avtolaboratoriya House of pioneers of Leninsky district of the city of Kharkiv. Interesting and exciting work here with the young designers a big fan of Amateur autostructure, a frequent participant of all-Union rally of home-made machines Valery Taranukha — Manager, mentor, chief designer. It creates the micro cars are always distinguished by originality of design and aesthetic execution.

AT THE START — “PENNANT-9”

AT THE START — Flying clubs Directive of the Central Committee of DOSAAF of may 25, 1979 allowed to build gliders only on the drawings approved by the technical committees of local federations of hang gliding. Besides flying a self-built devices should be performed only after examination by the representatives of the technical commissions in the field. This decision was due to the need to ensure safety both during training and during sports performances and is intended to nullify the persisting injuries.

A GIFT TO THE FIRST START

A GIFT TO THE FIRST STARTA GIFT TO THE FIRST STARTIt’s been over a decade since then, as avtomodelisty decided to make your sport all season and came up with kordovye model of the sleigh. Now, perhaps, it is difficult to name the author, the first such model: the necessity of introducing the lessons of the circles simple, affordable design that would combine the speed of production and the possibility to use the internal combustion engine, would the creative scope for the budding modeller and, moreover, would not be just “educational” (like, say, contour resonators), was clear to many.

ANOTHER “POCKET”

ANOTHER Young innovators of the Moscow machine-tool plant named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze developed subminiature winch, dimensions of which (240X215X115 mm) allow to call her “pocket”. With its low weight — a little more than 7 kg, it develops a traction force of up to 1 T.

FORE-AND-AFT ON THE HELICOPTER

FORE-AND-AFT ON THE HELICOPTERRepeated attempts to rework expense of building a traditional model helicopters RC, as it was with model airplanes and gliders, were unsuccessful. This is because model helicopters, free flight, built according to a single-ended or coaxial circuits with rotating engines, do not have what is called a case. Simply put, they have neither the nose nor tail. Therefore, any movement for them, all except “up” and “down” is the direction forward. And control of the direction of motion of the model helicopter without orientated in space of body and the speed control of the movement, is impossible without swashplate. His on free-flying and so-called timer helicopters and no.

ON-ROAD AND OFF-ROAD…

ON-ROAD AND OFF-ROAD...Laureate of Lenin Komsomol prize of student scientific-technical society of the Moscow higher technical school named after N. E. Bauman is one of the oldest in the country. Founded in 1903 N. E. Zhukovsky, the NTO over the years of its existence gave the careers of many famous aircraft designers, scientists, inventors. Good memories most of them left their intended course of development of the NTO, areas for further research, which over time has gained followers, United in independent laboratories, student research centers. Thus, in particular, in 1949, in the scientific and technical society has a new creative division of student design Bureau, which from the very first days of its existence began to work closely with the production, scientific-research institutes. With the expansion of subjects, which was engaged by SKB, it created all new laboratory, a new student design teams.

SERIES “P”

SERIES “It’s time my childhood fell on the difficult post — war years, begins his letter to the editor M. I. Psarev. Toys we then did ourselves. Apparently, this brought me love design — all my life I’m not breaking up with tools, metal, wood and, of course, pencil and paper. Here came the second half of life, and the desire to rukovodstvu not quenched, but flares up sometimes with such force that you forget about everything”.

WITH ELECTRIC MOTOR — IN THE SKY!

MOTOR — IN THE SKY!In the CSC-306 MAI constructed several devices with the power electrical system, but to talk seriously about the problem of creating a workable small elektroleta became possible only after supervising the Department has developed a unique brushless DC motor. It is characterized by light weight, high (95%) efficiency, and specific energy parameters 3-6 times higher than the corresponding characteristics of a known commutator motors.

THE MICRO CO2

THE MICRO CO2Model airplanes still did not pay attention to a very promising engine, liquefied gas C02. But the simplicity of manufacture and operation make it much more affordable than compression and glow engines. In addition, it does not pollute the air and silent in operation. With this engine (Fig. 1) can operate a variety of aircraft weighing up to 100 g From one canister to siphon the tank (Fig. 2) can be refilled twice.

FROM “ZAPOROZHETS” — “BUGGY-350”

FROM FROM For many years since the entry into force of “Technical conditions” to build a home-made micro cars and sidecars the creators of these machines in their structures often used the main gear of the rocking rear axle and transmission from a wheelchair sidecars of various modifications. All the disadvantages of these mechanisms are stereotypically repeated in almost every home-made, significantly impairing their performance. Traced the pursuit of more utilitarian to fulfill this part of the design, almost nothing or nothing changing in the factory units, and parts and disguised all this slightly redesigned (compared to wheelchair) the body, fenders and other “decorations”.
