The Russo-Baltic wagon factory (RBVZ) became the leader of Russian automobile industry in the early XX century. Founded in 1874 in Riga, is a large engineering company produced steam and horse threshing machines, seeders, plows, stationary oil and kerosene combustion engines, passenger and freight cars, trams, artillery limbers, and, later, cars and airplanes designed by I. I. Sikorsky. By 1912 the territory of the company, has a capital of 9.6 million rubles, was already 20 acres, and fifty shops of the plant worked 553 of the machine, which worked 4,000 people.
THE FIRSTBORN OF THE RUSSIAN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
An 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.”
The 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.
I 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.
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.
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.
