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.

D-6 FAN

FROM ANY ANGLE

ANY ANGLEMany questions arise in the manufacture of superstructures of ships models. One of them was how exactly to bend the plastic sheet to the specified angle. Gluing the individual sheets requires Stripping of the obtained joints, and the result is worse than when bending. So we invented a device, which considerably facilitates the bending process. It is used in our group is not the first year and fully justified in the case. It is easy to make from scrap materials, using a pattern; maybe you differently decide the fixation of the movable part at the corner. Recommend about tilting part of the table to place transporters a more precise adjustment of the fixture.
