Student scientific-technical conference of faculty road cars of the Moscow motor-road University this year attracted the attention not only of students and teachers, but also industry representatives. Still, many reports of young researchers it was about issues of importance to the national economy.

THE ELECTRONICS ON THE MOTORCYCLE
Revved the motor, the motorcycle abruptly jumped up and rushed forward. The neighbouring village was what half a kilometer, as suddenly go haywire motor… to Prevent such surprises helps electronics. The bike is equipped with an electronic ignition system that significantly reduces the load on the breaker contacts, and the increase in spark energy allows the engine to work reliably in the lean combustible mixtures.
BOAT? MOTORCYCLE? CAR!
Doctor of technical Sciences Professor A. G. Ignatov enthusiasts of technical creativity known as the author of a number of original designs of micro cars, party contests and demonstration runs of homemade vehicles. The appearance created machines always arouses keen interest. Not to say that these designs are technically refined or Shine external perfection. Far from it: Professor A. G. Ignatov always strives to use the most available materials, but to get the maximum beneficial effect. Here is his own formulation: “I need mechanical undemanding pet. Unpretentious, like a mule. Avtomol. Perhaps better not say. Don’t need beauty need high performance, reliability and endurance. Don’t need comfort — I need the utility and simplicity of management. Don’t need high-quality and expensive finish you need a good resistance y resistance of coatings, requiring minimal maintenance and expenditure on maintenance and repairs.”
FLEET OF HOMEMADE
“Born, live and work in rural areas, writes to the editor our reader N. Kurbatov from the village of Borisovka-2 Belgorod region. Since his school years always was doing something: model ships, planes, although no tools (except a pen knife), no literature on this subject at that time was not.
BUILDING A CAR
Amateur designers often begin construction of the car, relying only on intuition, without any calculations. Most often in such cases the performance of the machine be not the such of any wanted the Creator, and the individual components break or wear out quickly.
YOU MECHANIC
SIDE — DUMP TRUCK. To deliver the current grain from working in the field combine to drive if the feed to the farm building materials to the rising walls of the new building is everywhere in the village the required on-Board the vehicle. Such popularity is due to universality of his body fit for any cargo. One bad — unloading process, requiring considerable manual labor. Whether it is a truck! In a matter of seconds this “scoop on wheels” takes an inclined position, and the cargo already on the ground. Not accidentally, rural innovators are constantly find the most simple solution: how to get side car “samoraspustitsya”.
AMURCHONOK PAVES THE FURROW
Our magazine has repeatedly written about Krasnodar, Stavropol, Ural tractors, motologic, milling rippers, electrocore created in the circles of young technicians. These machines — good support and on the school grounds, and on experimental plots and in the field.
BUILDING A CAR
When vehicle type is defined: scheduled its approximate dimensions, weight, number of seats in the back, the engine, comes perhaps the most important stage of design development of the layout. Layout is the overall structure, and relative position of all parts of the structure. It would seem that a depot purely technical: linking dimensions, calculation of loads and so on. But no, it starts not with the mechanisms and numbers.
RIVER BOAT
This model can successfully build students 4-5 classes. Best to start with the housings. It can be done chiselling from a block of wood or stacked. If the housing is stacked, panel it with plywood with a thickness of 1 mm or thick cardboard that cover nitrovarnish to not soaked in water. The body parts glue nitrocream.
IN FLIGHT — “MAPLE-7”
Simple radio-controlled model aircraft. Do note that this article is designed for those who prefer to build RC models are not alone, and together with two or three associates. For such a complex and expensive Hobbies well together and the work is fun and the purchase of remote control equipment and engine “rainbow 7” is significantly cheaper. By the way, for beginners you can recommend not too expensive equipment, FOCUS 4, FOCUS 6 Korean company Hitek — the first cost is about $185, the second $220.
