The journal “modelist-Konstruktor” I write a since 1985 and have never regretted it. Read everything from the first page to the last. Very useful and interesting publication. And though time is now difficult, and the cost of the magazine is not so low, will it write in the future, because I believe that the value of the log above its price. The journal regularly and in sufficient volume published drawings of armored vehicles, planes, cars. But, unfortunately, rarely describes the production technology of models and designs equipment and devices, without which hampered their establishment.

BIKE WIDE PROFILE
In the summer the motorcycle “Minsk” served me faithfully, like the fairytale the little humpbacked horse. In autumn and winter, due to the off-road, it idled, though the need for movement over long distances and in that time I was no less. That’s when I decided to make him an ATV, but which if necessary could again transform the bike. Thumbing through the binder of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” for a dozen years, found few publications on this subject that helped to define the schema of the vehicle and design of main components. Useful and previous experience of technical creativity. Required tools and equipment, which are available at many homebrew, I had the welding and machine, and even a small lathe with a fixture that allows you to perform the milling operation.
MINI SMOKEHOUSE
Inspired by the example of a neighbor, homebrew and avid angler, as well as interesting developments “Modeller-designer” (see, e.g., No. 1, 2002), I made a compact smokehouse for smoked dried fish. The basis of my design — dural box size 1600x800x600 mm, assembled on a frame of steel angle 35×35 mm. Sides the smokehouse folding (for loading and unloading fish), to the cover are fastened with clasps of the type “frog”. In the front and rear walls are three rows of holes for pins pendants products, which are smoked, and smoke.
COMFORT BRING
No, probably none of the citizens who would not love to go fishing, mushroom picking, picnics. Rural residents are outdoors more often. And not just for fun: harvesting, haying, firewood and local building materials… However, regardless of what goals each entering of a dwelling, be it a city apartment or a rural house in the field, where he started to think of how to improve the conditions of his stay in the fresh air?
GRINDING THE SEEDS? PLEASE!
Becoming a farmer, I was faced with the necessity of grinding of beet seeds and alfalfa. Asked how to cope with this problem experienced large farms, and that is, on the image made a more modest car with no clever twists and great performance. At least the needs of my farm, it satisfies completely. And it works flawlessly.
SNOWMOBILE BOAT MOTOR
It all started long ago, with one of the publications in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 5 of 1981, a binder which we keep, and from time to time viewed. In the article it was about the alteration of the outboard motor “hi-22” with water cooling for air. This upgrade gave us the idea to use a similar engine to create a snowmobile as a motor, although not new, we have had, and the need for such a machine was considerable. A good helper, the magazine has become and also, the design of the snowmobile.
LIFEGUARD SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS
In the process of exploitation of the deep (submersible) pumps often break. To catch them on the outside of the flange for lifting from the well is impossible due to the tight fit of the latter to the well casing. To catch the open borehole pump in the well and pull it out for repair will help homemade trap-hook, mounted on a segment of the rod is square tube. From the version published in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 2’98, and other analogues of this fixture is distinguished, above all, reliability of operation and ease of use.
A NURSERY FOR COWS
Many rural residents who had not previously had the cow, now forced them to start. Because the cow has always helped humans to survive in difficult times, providing it with milk. But the owner should take care of the animal to the cow in the stall period were full. As you know, the main feed cows grass or hay. Unfortunately, the cow while in the stall, not very zealous about his food and in search of delicious blades of grass could easily trample a whole bunch of hay or grass.
MOTOR TRUCK
In a country HOMESTEAD or farm, however small, any mechanized cargo vehicle can help a lot. It helps to save money and power. Of course, when it is simple and reliable. Preferably, the machine was small in size for maneuverability and had the power (even at the expense of speed). Permeability it should also be on top. Road on not very much welcomes the emergence of these self-made vans on the highway, so their destiny is mostly unpaved country roads. As a rule, on such roads, two clear of the track (after all, they don’t even profile), so they wheeled transportation vehicles (“ants”, power tillers with trailers is the most affordable for most owners) is difficult.
PRESSURIZATION — “MUSCOVITE”
On the roads of Russia today quite a lot of cars of foreign production. To feel confident in dense traffic and domestic car, sometimes you have to reinvent the wheel. Indeed, the idea of supercharging the internal combustion engine to increase its power by increasing the air pressure at the inlet is not new. However, the use of aggregate charge one of the cheapest ways of achieving this goal.
