SCOOTER UNDER THE ROOF

SCOOTER UNDER THE ROOF

Does not make sense to compare a scooter-a scooter and a car — these cars are totally different. However, the designers of motorcycles continuously attempt to give the two-wheeled vehicle in comfort of their four-wheeled counterparts. In recent years, increasingly on the streets of cities, there are lightweight scooters-scooters equipped with a fairing resembling devoid of doors the body of the passenger micro-car, only. This combined transport is not an example of comfortable traditional bike — especially for our country with its climate, abundant spontaneous precipitation “in the form of rain and wet snow.”

“QUICK” BACKUP

Transformiruyushcheesya backup for currant, gooseberry and other bushes are easily made from steel wire with a diameter of 5-8 mm (“rod”) and this type of poles. And with the minimum expenses of forces and time. The posts will be segments of “rod” after their lower ends are pointed and the top is bent in the form of eight. Rings of such a spring eights need to deploy at an angle to each other, put inside a metal or plastic tube, wooden stick — the future of the joists, to allow the rings”Samohval” slightly to straighten. The reliability of the resulting connection is called, guaranteed.

MULTI-PURPOSE ACTIVATORS

MULTI-PURPOSE ACTUATORSAn activated by an electric current of water appear special properties: such moisture has a significant influence on the course of redox processes in animate and inanimate nature. Using the activated water, the enthusiasts achieve success in a wide range of areas from production to consumer (publications on obtaining “live” and “dead” water, see the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” № 12’83, 3’87, 3’96, 12’2000). Today’s collection is about the activators that can be done in a home workshop, based on the materials of the popular Bulgarian weekly “Guide yourself.”

CULTIVATOR ELECTRIC

CULTIVATOR ELECTRICThe owners of the garden plots are very popular cultivators “the Mole” with petrol engines. At first I was extremely happy with his mechanical assistant. However, over time, decided to get rid of the noise and noxious exhaust of a gasoline engine and make environmentally friendly electrochlorinator, safe from shock. For the cultivator required a motor with a serial excitation, which increases as the load increases and the torque. More other ideal starter stamps ST-8 from the truck GAZ-51.

THE PATCH OF THE TIRES…

BED OF... TIRESI read in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 6, 1993 article “Vitamins grow on the balcony.” From her I learned about the use of pyramids of old tires as a vertical garden. Intrigued by the experience of enthusiasts, I decided to also do balcony gardening. And came to the conclusion that instead of natural soil in bulky tegmental pyramids it is better to use hydroponics in a separate biomodule.

HOME FOUNDRY

HOME FOUNDRYThe 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

MINI-SMOKERInspired 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.
