Difficult situation with a model micro-motors in our country, and also difficult to explain, but very attractive the desire of some designers and modelers around the world to provide their phones in unconventional engines sometimes lead to very interesting results. The journal “modelist-Konstruktor” tries to acquaint its readers with all the latest developments in this area. Tan, we have repeatedly published materials on perspective, today received universal recognition engines running on liquefied carbon dioxide. Don’t we go around the topic of steam machines, which, however, mainly engaged in ship modelers.
In the February issue of “Modeller-designer” we met article on the development of a new class of car — unmanaged vetrogonov. Don’t know how reacted to the most interesting suggestion of the authors of that article and the magazine automodeling Federation of sports of Russia, but in our circle it was accepted “on hurrah” — so interesting, affordable and promising was this topic. Work on a new type of machines we started with, that surely will be useful to all, tion interested in constructing vetrogonov — with the development of minimized similarity of the internal rules of the competition and technical constraints applicable to unusual models. On the last point we were limited to only the maximum area of the driving model sailing arms (no more than 25 dm2) and the total dimensions of the machine (prepared by the start condition, it must fit into a cube with sides not more than 1000 mm). Under these constraints, Verkade should be potentially very fast and quite “personable” for forms that will go only to the benefit of the attractiveness and popularity of the competition in the new class. It should be noted that the rough calculations of the maximum potential speed of movement convinced us in the fact that would be very useful, additional development is reduced “oneorzero” type vetrogonov. Here are our suggestions tanovi: sail area limit of 10-15 dm2, and dimensions described Nuba 500-600 mm.
In October 1996 in the Udmurt Republic celebrated the 65th anniversary of the system of children’s technical creativity. In 1931 in Izhevsk was opened the first children’s technical station, later received the status of Republican. Over the years many students RSUT became heroes of the Soviet Union, doctor of technical Sciences, honored workers of science and culture, managers of industrial enterprises, masters of sports. Best work 236 young technicians Udmurt Republic were awarded medals VDNH USSR, many leaders awarded gold and silver medals, received the title of laureates of the NTTM, 42 pupil participated in the international exhibitions in Japan, France, Germany, Belgium and other countries.
Tourist boat-amphibian “AMFA” was built by Vitaly G. Lebedev 35 years ago. Over many years of operation it is, of course, has undergone several upgrades, but inherent in it original constructive ideas are outdated. AMFA is still pleasing to his Creator and his family, demonstrating on the water and on land of excellent quality. In the late 50-ies, when life after the war became easier and the children have grown up, I wanted to show them new places. We lived almost on the Bank of the canal Moscow — Volga, and water transport, as you know, the cheapest. So was born my idea to build a boat.
Today the state of technical creativity of pupils, I think we all know — it is deplorable. And even a talented teacher to inspire children is becoming increasingly difficult. One of the reasons the sharp deterioration of the material base of non-school institutions that lead to exclusion from group work sites that require long time to manufacture. It is possible to offer teachers some technical circles (primarily — aircraft modeling) to include in the plan of work of the first year of lessons build exotic aerodynamic projectile like a boomerang. Experience shows that it is quite affordable for newbies. Requires wood and simple tools: a plane, a knife, a rasp and sandpaper. Production time is two or three classes.
The new rules of competition in the class of models of “air combat” prohibit the use of glow engines without mufflers. Offers its readers the most successful I have developed silencers for the engine CSTOM is 2.5. It consists of a clamp, camera jamming, staples, lid and M3 screws with spring washers.
The Rover was designed and custom-made joint stock company “Sa-ratowanie”: here is a badly needed vehicle for the delivery of operational outreach to places of accidents on power lines. These lines are, as usual, draw where on the roads to speak of. In good weather only army GAZ-66 is still able to build there track. In the offseason, almost as in the song: only helicopter can fly. Mari Rover turned out to be what we need. For four years he has served the energy sector and still on the go. This was confirmed by A. P. Smolkin, head of the fuel and transport service of JSC “Saratovenergo”. Not once, not twice “Wolverine” rescued repairmen. And not just for work but also for hunting and fishing. On the question of what the design drawbacks revealed during exploitation, Alexander only then said: “have more powerful Engine… at least from “zaporozhtsa”.
