The picnic, which happened to be with friends, will be remembered not only by the abundance of impressions, positive EMOTIONS, but also the uniqueness of what and how food fueled its organizers.

Overcome the neglect of long ago you passed the scheme and read the material. You may find many interesting things.
STRAPS LUGS
Which only tricks nor embark on the owners of automotive vehicles to prevent wheelspin, maximize traction from their mechanical helpers. Here and further weight gain traction at the expense of baletnogo of the goods and the transition to large diameter wheels and use of special (wide) tires with special raised tread, and even such non-standard technical solution, as a partial filling of the pneumatic chambers with water (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 2, 1993). And, of course, vehicle wheels lugs, and a wide variety of designs.
ONE POTATO, TWO POTATOES
“Potatoes are often called the second bread. Only easy this bread gets. Especially without the use of nepamirstama tillers and small tractors, with the only hope for a spade, Yes a spade. About a year ago, “modelist-Konstruktor” sort of decided to help by posting a good development of the tracer-the potato made from water-gas supply pipes. But then seems to have forgotten the promise to return to the topic of mechanization in the cultivation of labour-intensive crop, which is a pity. V. Ivankov”.

And with the attachments, all kinds of fixtures are not averse and in agricultural work to become a foremost: already mows, threshes, and other operations performs excellently. The universal becomes!

When you turn off the pump in winter the water as it is locked in a feed hose, and having no drain hole, freezes.
MOTOBLOCK NOTHING MORE
The story of all machines and mechanisms created by Amateur designer from the village of Zelenchukskaya, Karachayevo-Cherkess Republic, Vasily Alekseevich VERBELEN, one post could not contain. Better to talk about them in turn. And we will begin, perhaps, with the most simple what built the craftsman —tillers “Electronics”.
