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.
ITS ELEMENTS – LAND AND WATER
Moscow musician D. T. KUDRYAKOV among Amateur designers known as the author of a unique car is amphibious “Triton” — one of a kind vehicle that is registered simultaneously in two state inspections: car (GAI) and for small vessels (GIMS). Our regular readers may recall the publication of “Planing… car” (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 5 of 1996), containing quite a full description of the construction of the “Triton”. In it the author shared his approach to solving complex technical problems, which allowed him to create a vehicle equal in their performance on land and on water.
“EIGHT” IN THE CIRCLE
Modern models of bikes full of new materials and technologies. But in most cases it touches the chassis, steering, powertrain. Virtually unchanged in design remains only a spoked wheel: the Central steel sleeve on the axle, steel spokes, metal rim and rubber tire on it. Of course, the inventors here do not remain on the sidelines, offering, for example, various embodiments of bushings, oval and even a variable section spokes, different profiles and material (steel, aluminum, carbon fiber) rims etc, but that does not change: spoked wheel is still the lightest, and therefore irreplaceable.
MOTORCYCLE BACKPACK
This small trailer was designed and manufactured when our family received a plot of land for gardening in the suburbs of Cheboksary. Immediately there is a need to transport various goods. At that time I had only the Minsk motorcycle and some old nodes from scooter “Tourist”. Little motorcycle and need a small light trailer. So its frame is welded from steel tubes of rectangular cross section, and reinforced body made of duralumin thin-walled tubes and sheets, securing the wings with the help of argon-arc welding. Then these two main nodes are interconnected by screws M5.
BOAT WITH MOTORS
Input class EX many other differ a good combination of simplicity of their manufacture and striking appearance. Impressive dimensions and the technical equipment of these models generally provide a decent level of sports and enhanced entertainment, attracting many fans.
