GAS SOLDERING IRON

GAS SOLDERING IRONIn the practice of the rally often faced with the necessity of soldering or welding. A few years ago I accidentally saw used for this purpose, benzopyrene production of the GDR, then had the idea to do the same, but running on gas. The result exceeded all expectations — and now gas-heated soldering iron is a decent place to set my tools. Exploitation it during body repairs, radiators, bits of copper cables with large cross sections confirmed the efficiency of the design. The main advantages before traditional “hammer” and a blowtorch are: the possibility of continuous soldering, the temperature setpoint, which is important when performing large volume of work, as well as the possibility of regulating the degree of heating.

MILL-THE MILL

MILL - CORN

The tank from the exhaust of a washing machine agitator type, the clutch drum of the clutch control from a scrapped tractor T-74 Yes three-phase AC motor — is the basis for a homemade mill-crusher. Its design is portable, which is important for use on small farms and in private households. The main part of the mill crushing chamber. As the drum is adapted named item from the coupling control T-74.

PNEUMATIC TRANSFORMER

PNEUMATIC-TRANSFORMEROnce television was a popular program “you can”, where the craftsmen talked about their designs. Perhaps it first appeared the information about the pneumatic-tired machines. A publication in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” has prompted many enthusiasts, including our own, Angarskaya (mostly fishermen) to manufacture such machines with their own hands. Pneumatic bribed his external simplicity, which promises a good performance.

SHREDDER FEED

SHREDDER FEEDWags say that invention, they say, are born from laziness. Maybe they’re right. I tired to cut the tops and chop the root vegetables for domestic animals manually — set about creating an electric shredder feed. Memory told where to find the prototype: of course, among the developments of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”. Indeed, the number 12 in 1992 found a description and sketch Assembly “lubarsky for cows”. But the cone-shaped cups from the separator, which served as the basis of the unit in my possession was not. But there was a sheet of the stainless steel. Made from it a cylindrical “bucket”, which became the shredder feed. And the bottom are made with a flare — for a better connection with the side wall (welding face) and increase the stiffness of the whole structure.

SCOOTER SNOWY EXPANSES

SCOOTER SNOWY EXPANSES

For open snow-covered expanses, in my opinion, there is no better vehicle than a snowmobile. No other ATV can not be compared with them in speed and terrain. Noise really much. But what a fun rapid slide through the untouched virgin snow! Snowmobile, nicknamed “Otter” including the, shall we say, ducking and diving — at the speed they can, even through the sparse bushes “pronanut,” I built in one breath: so very recently I wanted to have a car like that. And so the design of it is thought out thoroughly, and the required units, units and materials prepared in advance.

FLYING ON THE WAVES

FLYING ON THE WAVES

Athletes modelers creating miniature RC racing boat, rightfully consider themselves the elite in the sports environment. Still, after all, they have to deal with the most powerful engines, the most modern modeling technologies and fastest speeds! In addition, the control gliders-cars requires a high skill and knowledge of tactical racing techniques.

THE FIRST THING THE TILLERS

Accurately process small parcel of land on which “serious” technology closely, except that the tillers. Therefore, the prudent farmers, deciding to get a similar unit, first choose the make and weigh its capabilities. And then think about the truck, mounted and trailed equipment that will be needed for your specific job. So was the case with me. The only difference is that I decided not to buy ready-made tillers, and build it yourself. For the sample took the industrial design “the meadow”, Podkopayeva its simplicity. But only a sample because I have assemblies and parts which are markedly different from standing on the prototype. They had to fit, and many components and parts — manufactured again.

A SCOOTER OR CITY BIKE?

Less and less will see on our roads a nimble scooter. This is not surprising: the main producers and their fates were abroad — in Latvia and Ukraine. So what else from this series is now sold in specialized stores, is cars. Accordingly, the price… To all that volatile MOTOmed gives the consumer a more convenient, more modern cars of the same class — scooters. Miniature scooters with 50-CC engine with automatic transmission and starter, can reach speed up to 80 km/h, providing comfort, who never dreamed of the owner of “Riga” or “Carpathian”.
