EASY, AND THE FARM WILL FIT

EASIER, AND THE FARM WILL FITA zealous owner-samodelka all always there. Even his mini-tractor at times there, not to mention the mower-threshers, other motorcycle and electropolishing. And that’s very understandable with this equipment really is never ever lost. A worthy place is occupied, helping to maintain the farm in good condition, manual tools and simple (but highly effective in fact) fit. Some of them, the magazine has told its readers. Basically, it was more design and technical solution “for the garden” (“modelist-Konstruktor” № 6’91, 9’93, 5’95). The following publication on a makeshift structures, the scope of which focus on a personal farmstead. They are made from so-called scrap materials, “home” technology accessible and understandable to any beginner. At the lowest cost possible to get the maximum result.

“VIRTULA” EVERY DENT

Elementary simple, ultra-reliable and very good running kachestva distinguished for the attention of young avtomodelistov development. This technique is extremely necessary for the NAC are beginning their career in the technical work malchishek, and for the more experienced, for whom this model may serve not only kachestve simulator, but also as a debugging stand for testing engines and new nodal solutions.

LET THE WIND

LET THE WINDThe wind has always been a symbol of impermanence, and attempts to transform its energy into electrical energy has led often to results that are not very encouraging. Indeed, everything you expect from the source of electrical energy stability: clicked the switch and turned on the light. And the wind, alas, changeable. However, to make it a reliable source of electricity possible, to use already well developed scheme with intermediate energy storage battery.

AND ROY IN THE BAGEveryone who decided to deal with bees, one has to prepare oneself to much. Including to what happen alone, “remove” ROI. The point is, I know for myself, is not simple. After all, bees are “grafted” (sit down when swarming) often where a person (without appropriate training, equipment) and get something easy.

BRISK, WHEEL, REVERSE

BRISK, WHEEL, REVERSE

To the tinkerers, to engage in farming consider themselves not the first year. As a regular reader of “Modeller-designer”, produced (with the help of coffee design) mower, mini moped for transportation of hay, all-terrain vehicle on the tires, several power tillers and mini tractors. Best believe your homemade design, which is readily repeated by neighbors and never failed. It’s the stand on the court readers. Of course, this is a laborer-tractor. With minimal dimensions, nimble; equipped with reverse-reducer, which I have already told (with the app sketches, and other materials) in the pages of the eleventh issue of the magazine for the year 1989.

DIGGING WITHOUT LOSS

DIGGING LOSSLESSThe design, which will be discussed, could be called a potato harvester as it consists of several relatively independent units. The potato is intended to be coupled primarily with a mini-tractor “Ocarinas”, whose description is published in the “Modeller-designer” № 12 in 1996, But since it has a standalone engine, it can be paired with any truck, regardless of, he has a PTO or not. A horse harnessed! I think that the concept of my machine will be useful for other Amateur designers who create their own agricultural machinery.

THE GLIDER IS A NEW TYPE

GLIDER

This unusual radio controlled model glider designed in an unconventional scheme: on the one hand, the idea of carrying the fuselage (or “inhabited wing”), the other — hard power structure, constructed as “Rama”. The technology of making a model is the light-tight foam of the rigid elements of the bearing lining. The most loaded zones are enhanced with pine slats. This applies primarily to longeron nodes and edges, as well as composing, not having the foam “cores”, rudders and ailerons with a soft covering.
