THE LAUNCH OF THE MARCHES!

RUN — THROW!Throwing model-polyopia su-24. The model is designed and manufactured in the laboratory aeromodelling Center for children and youth technical creativity of the city of Rybinsk for novice modelers. The prototype has become a modern supersonic bomber with variable geometry (sweep) of the wing su-24, standing in service with the Russian air force. The launch of such models always generate interest among club members, and spectators. And thanks to the simplicity of manufacturing the model of this jet was a great success at the country children’s centres.

CORN-CRUSHER… WASHING MACHINE

CORN FROM... WASHING MACHINEOld, seemingly obsolete washing machine— a treasure for zealous owner who loves to make things with their hands. Available it be convenient stainless capacity, small motor AVE-071-4CM (220 V, 180 W, 1350 rpm), ballasts, enough compact body and lots of parts that still can be use. For example, for the solution of many problems of mechanization from the processing of gifts to the garden for fruit juices and vitamin-nutrient mixture to miracle mills with high productivity. Propaganda is the most interesting of these developments, and a lot of attention and my favorite is “modelist-Konstruktor” (see № 12’92, 8’99, 5’2001).

SNOWMOBILE WITH THE COMFORT OF A CAR

SNOWMOBILE WITH THE COMFORT OF A CARSnowmobile has always been one of the most popular homemade vehicles. The reason is the relative ease of fabrication (the snowmobile has no wheels, complex transmission, hydraulic brakes, clutch, etc.) and efficiency (the larger can on a high speed pass there, where it can crawl except crawler tractors). However, the relative simplicity of design of the vehicle with aerodynamic propulsion introduced many homebrew tempted to create a primitive machine. As a result, these sleds though and could move, but the pleasure of driving the Creator never got them. And most often it was of poor aerodynamic configuration.

A RELIABLE “BABY”

RELIABLE We offer mini tractor “baby-3” (the third model) was made by me in the calculation of the mechanized harvesting of hay. From here he and a sufficiently powerful power unit, and two spring-mounted seat (which is perfect for the driver and a partner of the operator with frequent movements from one meadow to another), and high maneuverability in combination with multi-speed modes of operation (8 forward gears and 4 backward), and a convenient hinged mechanism, which is maximally adapted for a standard mower.

YEAR-ROUND ASSISTANT

VSESEZONKA ASSISTANT

Fifteen years subscribed to the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor” and in each room find a lot of interesting and useful articles. By education I am a mechanical engineer and I am particularly interested in creative development of designers-homebrew. I myself, back in 1989, almost from scrap (selected on the farm “technologisch” aggregates and agricultural machinery) has built a machine that for a set of functions called tractorable. Can not boast of originality of design or elegance of appearance. Rather, the tractor turned rough, but it for years I became an indispensable and reliable assistant on the farm in summer and winter. Wrong cut, but tightly sewn — this saying can be attributed to him.

THE BIKE CHANGES SHAPE

THE BIKE CHANGES SHAPEBicycle makers, both professionals and Amateurs, have long been trying these “broken” cars and more “tame”, that is, to use hands. But since a Bicycle hands are occupied keeping balance by finely balancing the wheel, then to implement it without deterioration of the stability (and, hence, traffic safety) is very difficult. Nevertheless, the idea promises in addition to the physical development of upper limbs and even a significant increase in non-motorised power car.

THE BIKE CHANGES SHAPE

THE BIKE CHANGES SHAPENot the first time the editors publish original contributions on the improvement of the Bicycle, the author of which is an inventor, engineer Vladimir Gavrilov from the village of Inozemtsevo area of Zheleznovodsk in Stavropol region. With his enthusiasm, he engages in technical creativity and other. An example of this— the second development in this publication, by V. Gavrilov together with his fellow villager M. Losev.

MOPED AT ANY AGE

A BIKE FOR ANY AGEConceiving the design of the moped, I set a goal to make it easy to operate for the driver any age. This moped I have and get: easy to control on the road and on the dirt road, with adjustable height of driver steering and saddle, stable and powerful at the expense of front-wheel drive with unpretentious D-6 engine. On the latter suffice it to say that it starts as a scooter with a push.

IN THE STRUGGLE FOR THE HARVEST

IN THE STRUGGLE FOR HARVESTA real scourge of the potato fields was the Colorado potato beetle. And in recent years because of the warm winter it is getting more and more. To deal with it in different ways. But the most reliable and effective way all the same- spraying with special chemicals. If the area is small, then no problem. Buy in store or on the market hand-held sprayer for any model that is charged with a solution of capacity for work! An hour and a half and the plot of the pests exterminated. But this, again, in that case, if the potato plantation is small – five to ten acres.
