“JEEP” – SIMPLY AND RELIABLY

Residents of the Armenian capital like cars and know a lot about them. This convinced us to visit Yerevan streets with design engineer ERISA by Stanislav Hopenosis on his makeshift Rover. Wherever we stayed, immediately gathered around the curious passers-by. Followed inevitable in such cases, the questions: what? how? from what? Stanislav patiently answered. For three years from the date of first departure on the new machine, he was used to these “press conferences”.

POLYMETA ON THE FIELD

POLYMETA ON THE FIELDIn different areas of our country the soil was treated in different ways. Soil and climatic characteristics, natural, imprint and on the design of small tools, which are developed by the owners of household plots. Some building microfracture and tillers, designed for the use of the plow, others motorize.

CULTIVATOR OF “EUREKA”

CULTIVATOR OF No doubt, the motor-plow or microtracker in the farm economy — assistant-all-trades. But where the plot-all small, and the garden trees and shrubs planted densely enough, the walk-behind combustion engine just to turn around. Here and come to the rescue of a simple, but very effective! the cultivator on the basis of the motor from the washing machine. Its working wheel with long narrow teeth perfectly reserves the loosened strip of land width of about 120 mm at a depth of pereopisanie to 150 mm.

“ASIMMETRIK” COMES FIRST

“Unsportsmanlike! It is helpful to build models, not to bring equipment adult athletes! Not to allow for competition!” These indignant exclamations addressed to our children when they first presented their new microglossary in on a meeting of young modelers. We were convinced opponents and judges that the lightest devices built by the hands of boys, and not only built, but also well-designed by our sportsmen-beginners. Talked about how it was created, the new design scheme, how to construct the model. Gradually distrust, squishie in the eyes of the “enemy”, beginning to be replaced by sincere interest. But honestly, we left with the impression that to fully dispel doubts rivals failed. Especially after it started, when our gliders come with speed only slightly inferior to the results experienced athletes. And this is without the resonance of the exhaust pipes!

TRAILER CLAMSHELL

TRAILER CLAMSHELLI was interested in the design described in the article “Trailer-bedroom” (“M-K” № 9, 1984). The idea is to place in the trailer the whole living room is very tempting. However, the more attractive I see it is not collapsible, and folding wagon. Capacious, Assembly-lifting this camper does not take much time, and the Parking lot can not be detached from the vehicle. Two beds on the spacious side drawers sofas, which are placed in the bedding, additional adjustable shelves-beds and small-sized gas stove with cylinders, bedside table — all this provides a comfortable stay while traveling.

CLOUD VS CLOUD

CLOUD VERSUS CLOUDSpecially for shelling rudonosnykh clouds, bringing icy “buckshot” for planting crops, created rocket the Cloud. The task is simple — to convey and spray and mid clouds of so-called reagent, iodide of tin, and a parachute to return to earth. And with “protographium” menacing cloud becomes a different person. The introduction of iodide tin completely changes the conditions of the formation of precipitation, and instead hail from the clouds will pour down life-giving rain. In some particularly difficult cases conducted emergency surgery — the cloud is fired on the approach to agricultural land. And then hail, which can not handle even a chemical reagent, the precipitation in the place where he will not bring harm to useful crops.

“DIPLOMAT” FOR INFLATABLE

Free time, whether it is a holiday or weekend, we as a family try to spend Hiking: Hiking and Biking, road and water. Visited the Baltic States, Karelia, the Crimea, the Caucasus, in the steppes of Azov. In fifteen years of travel we have accumulated some stock of design discoveries helping to resolve problems often faced by tourists. One of them have. I would like to share.

“SALAMANDER” CLASS FSR

Today we offer RC modelers a high-speed hydroplane races for long, designed and built by famous Hungarian athlete Istvan of Salim. “Salamander” — the so-called new microtiter — has a number of features. For example, in order to model flooding and to reduce noise emanating from a thin shell of case-“cavity”, messageone section partially filled with polyurethane foam. The vibration transmitted to the housing of the engine, is reduced not only due to the installation of all engine mounts, rubber gaskets-absorbers, but also applying the printed parts of the base of the motor. The fact that the conventional PCB has unlike fiberglass the best shock-absorbing properties. The noise of the exhaust is possible to reduce cooling of the exhaust pipe part of the water coming out after the heat extraction from the engine. Ejection of the cooling water of the engine and the exhaust pipe is carried out on individual tubes. This simplifies the adjustment of fluid flow through two independent channels.
