a deep fascination with the technique came to me in youthful years, when he began not only to repair the scooter, but to collect them from different old parts. Then, growing up, over to the motorcycles, have altered their own way: faced on your own taste (the word “design” then in my everyday life were not), made easier, more fashionable, more powerful, more comfortable.

FOR ANY SOIL
Thanks to the “Modeller-designer” I’m still at school became interested in technical creativity. Three-wheeled all-terrain vehicle is one of my latest designs. It used the engine from a motorcycle “IZH-Planeta”, equipped with a fan, differential — motorized С3А, fuel tank (located under passenger seat) — from scooter “Electron”.
WE MADE A TRACTOR!
Building a tractor-little young designers not deny myself the pleasure to use his own name initials. So there on the hood of metaphora three polished letters SAP, which means Sergei and Andrey Pavlovs. In a letter sent to the editors, they said that the big help in the development of the tractor had his father — Valery, All three regular readers of our magazine.
DEADWOOD… FILLING
BIKE TRAINER
The domestic industry for many years produced mopeds and motorbikes with engines of the type “D”. However, all of these machines were a significant disadvantage (which was, however, pay for their low price). The fact that these motors had a single transfer, which significantly reduces their opportunities. So, for them it was almost impossible to budge without preliminary acceleration by foot pedal; connect to motor “human power” I had when driving uphill or on a dirt road, and when driving on the highway the scooter would not prevent accelerating transmission, allows to increase its speed at least 50 km/h.

FLYING ON THE SIDE
Model of a catamaran-class “P” with a sail-wing. Few people remember that the apparatus used for movements the aerodynamic forces, was created more than five thousand years ago. It was a self-propelled vessel with a sail propulsion, which worked exactly the same as the wing of a modern aircraft. The only difference is that the lift force of the aircraft wing pointing up vertically, and the pulling force of the sail horizontally. In fact, the movement of the sailboat is the same flight, only on the side.
