TRANSATLANTIK IN MINIATURE
A prototype of the proposed model-polyopia was a unique motor speed the ship Des-triero. Built by Italian club “Costa Smeraldo”, it was intended for a single purpose — to beat the speed record for transatlantic crossing, owned since 1990 no less unique boat Hoverspeed Great Britain. Great work on designing and developing unique vessel was done by the Italians with success: Destriero has passed the way from England to new York in 58 hours 34 minutes and 50 seconds, thus putting a new world record.
ROCK IN THE GARDEN
We are not talking about dancing on beds, and about the original garden tool with which time-consuming, running from time immemorial bayonet shovel (in the best case — the special fork) work on the “home” plots become even elderly people (author and tester this design is over seventy).
“MOLE” TO HELP
Aircraft mechanic M. A. Masters is one of the remarkable constellation of Amateur designers, which has always been proud of the Udmurt ground. He has such serious works as Delta – and paragliders, airplane of his own design and restored Yak-18T, various tools and much more. Today all the works of the craftsman directed to complete the Assembly of a small wheeled tractor, and we invite readers to get acquainted with one of his developments — motoliberty “Mole”. On the pages of our magazine this issue was raised several times, but still remains relevant, as in most of the regions and cities of Russia, the administration is going to meet the residents, allocating land for farming. I think, this versatile unit is indispensable in many cases.
EASY SHOVEL
When I want to emphasize that someone has done a great job, in search of a suitable comparison involuntarily turn to the laborious digging of the earth and say: “They shovelled so much!” Then each at once all becomes clear, and his memory will surely emerge and the intractability of the soil, and aching back, and blisters on the hands…
GATE – UP
Motorists are well aware how much trouble delivering the usual garage double gates. Particular difficulties arise in the winter when you have almost every day to clean the snow in front of the garage, otherwise, to open or close the gate leaf is almost impossible. Meanwhile, there are many designs, devoid of these shortcomings. Among them are shifted to the side, climb up, folded like an accordion. Meet flexible doors, which are wound on the drum located at the top of the box. However, they are not very reliable, because they have open joints or through cracks.
PARAGLIDING: FROM “ORION” TO “ANTARES”
Flight from the Orion constellation, the constellation of the Scorpion, namely the alpha of the constellation — Antares, would require probably much more time than creating the paraglider, called star names. Family paragliders series “Orion”, which became a safe guide to paragliding for hundreds of pilots, for the period from 1986 to 1994, was developed more than ten modifications. The Orions to the present time are respected due to their high reliability and keep the palm as the first domestic production gliders (beginning of serial production — may, 1990, protected by a certificate for an industrial design. Authors: O. Zaitsev and A. Chernovalov).
FORGET ABOUT THE BATTERY
Brand motorcycles “IZH” and “Java” can be fairly easily translated into bezakkumulyatornyh the ignition. I did it seven years ago, and so far — no complaints. What do you need? If the motorcycle has electric on 6 V, the generator set 7 In — from “Minsk” or the old “Sunrise” (with contact or electronic ignition), and if 12 In, 14 In — from the new “Sunrise”. Moreover, the rotors of the machines can be both with removable and fixed Cams (in the first case, a simpler installation procedure). For 2-cylinder engines (with electronic ignition), you will also need another coil of the sensor and another electronic switch. Finally, turned from steel on a lathe and cutting manually adapter flanges with a configuration that depends on the brand of the motorcycle.
ULTRALIGHT “DRAGONFLY”
Dear fans of aviation! This article may be useful for the development and construction of a light helicopter. Offer – to rotary-wing aircraft (AV-1) is the fruit of a long fascination with aviation, the result of persistent and laborious work for five years, of which two years was spent on construction and the rest for testing, debugging, development piloting, repair, upgrades.
DURABLE TENT
Undoubtedly of interest to many tourists are the publication of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”. But they mainly describe the various vehicle designs and less emphasis on other essential Hiking things: tents, backpacks and the like. In recent time there appeared a large number of tents’ in industrial production, a variety of designs. However, tourists still have a desire to make your “camp house” on their own. The more that today to purchase the necessary materials has become much easier, and sewn at home, it is much (two to three times) cheaper than purchased.
