WOOD ENGINEERING

WOOD ENGINEERINGSay, in the Urals during the difficult years of chaos after the civil war an artificer built a car where everything was wooden, even the engine. However, if the wizard so the echo legendary as Leskov’s Levsha, here the use of wood instead of metal in the most important nodes in modern machinery: rolling mills, tractors, cranes, harvesters — not a legend, but a reality of our days.

TWO IN ONE

TWO IN ONEThe idea is to make two-cylinder engine came to us with the son, that is, from want. In times of General scarcity in the economy was necessary for some vehicles to have the house and farmstead to provide those without something to exist person in the Russian hinterland is simply impossible. This is the wood, hay, building materials, which had to bring. Plowing and treatment of the infield in the required quantities without the technology, too, was unbearable.

Among multipurpose internal combustion engines, created by our readers, still have not found structures with the spool naturally. Meanwhile, this scheme has proven itself quite well and is often used in power installations of various applications. Under this scheme, for example, in the prewar years in the USSR mass-produced outboard motors LM-7 “Rubinar” and LM-6, which enjoyed great popularity. Known successful attempts of application of the valve timing in the engines of sports motorcycles and model the micro-engines of various applications.

INVENTING… THE WHEEL

...INVENT THE WHEELAt this stage of the work, outline the design of the actuator, which provides translational movement of the model. Let’s start with the analysis of the already known mechanisms, which are used in a large technique (Fig. 1). Under the terms of our problem, the most acceptable is the idea of using the wheel.
