From the family of microstructures developed by students of Kharkiv Institute of mechanization and electrification of agriculture, the easiest and most accessible for self-production – how “the Kid” (HIMESH-2): it is the most used units and components of machinery produced by industry. It’s a small two-wheeled machine driven reaching for her operator. A large set of interchangeable towed and mounted implements makes a compact and versatile, allows to use it for plowing, harrowing, cultivating, hilling and other operations soil cultivation, plant care, and in the coupling with a single axle truck – like vehicle for transportation of various household goods. In the latter case, the operator becomes the driver and is placed on suspension seat on the front of the truck. Thanks to these properties, the tillers can be applied not only in a personal farming, but also can be used for mechanization of labor-consuming processes in crop production, especially in vegetable production and experimental plots of breeding stations, as well as livestock and greenhouses.
“BABY” PAVES THE FURROW
A rural resident with a large garden and cattle, will love shredder, made by a craftsman from the village of Bornukovo Nizhny Novgorod region Yevgeny Kulikov. With its help in the harvest of apples years, processed fruit juices and wine, and daily life facilitated the process of preparation of feed for domestic animals in those places hold a lot.
Usually mention the proverbial fifth wheel. However, some automakers use a formula, reflected in the name of our material. They really believe the fourth wheel in the car superfluous. Judge for yourself: unlike a four-legged three-legged stool on an uneven base does not wobble (remember school: three points can be spend a plane, and thus only one). Therefore, trehalose frame will be more rigid and the car will be more lightweight and durable (and hence cheaper).
In issue 9 of our magazine, a story was published with the exhibition NTTM-2011. Despite the rather significant amount, it was told only about transport designs, developed the student creative groups and young inventors. Side by side with them demonstrated their achievements and more young modelers and designers. Their work represented a variety of directions of scientific-technical creativity: from simple scale models to innovative technologies and projects of space systems. And it would be unfair not to tell about them.
When among students who have mastered only the basics of the original automodelisme, comes to talking about the class of simple machines, rubber motor, it is submitted immediately think “sophomoric”. They say, in the age of radio, heavy duty electric motors and internal combustion engines are very popular and widespread at the time the class is now an anachronism and good except for exploring the world of car.
Mini makiki always use the boys great success. And for good reason! Small size, cost-effective, modern appearance, excellent performance — what more can you ask for? Maybe that’s why many of them roll up his sleeve so take tools. After all, if you try, you can do mokik, able to compete with serial two-wheeled machines. However, it is not very easy, but it’s worth it.
This mini-tractor, Y. V. BALABIN, Amateur designer from Moscow city Lotoshino, built from what was found in a garage at home, with friends, in a scrap yard. However, “Scarce” (as he called his mini-tractor) is in the extensive garage of craftsman privileged position. Despite the fact that next to him are still jeep “Hugo” mini-mobile “Colibri”, the mechanical horse and maintenance — first and foremost, and repair in the shortest possible time. But how else? “Baby” is in fact the breadwinner of the family of its Creator! Without him and the garden for planting potatoes treated, and the crop will not be harvested.
