This question — wittingly or unwittingly — touched the journal, many authors, enthusiasts, Amateur microelementary. They are often not limited to theoretical reasoning, and embodied his ideas in metal, being able to create interesting designs. This process continues: such are the inexorable laws of technological progress. So the answer to the question: “How to be a self-made little micro-car for city driving”?, let’s say, ten years will differ significantly from what we can say today. Many of attendant factors and circumstances — the emergence of new structural materials, new technologies, new operating conditions, the status of energy resources, the evolution of social conditions and much more everyday to change the demands which the life makes to be vehicles of personal (individual) use.

After publication in the “M-K”, № 1, 1978 of the drawings trace model “Mirage” edition receives a lot of emails from guys who decided to build it. They are interested in some of the “subtleties” of manufacturing technology of the body, its refined forms, ways of fastening of the engine and much more. The editors asked the author of the article “On the track “the Mirage” I. A. Nikolaychuk with the request to share the experience of manufacture and of preparation for the competition.
Getting to the construction of the car, every designer-fan first of all should be clear about what qualities will have conceived the machine. Not to mention the compliance of its current “Technical requirements”, developed the design must meet the financial capabilities of the Builder and the intended operating conditions.
Is not just our magazine led descriptions for the original designs mikrovisatos built as enterprises and companies and Amateur designers. Permanent interest motonarty — individual transport, especially beloved in Northern latitudes. These light lignocaine machines capable to overcome any obstacles snow which bogged down heavier ATVs. However, their “powers” are most visible in winter. During the off-season need other machines.
For the manufacture of parts for models of artillery and torpedo armament of the marine models usually spent a lot of time, it is not always possible to achieve full similarity. Some of the devices and techniques that facilitate the machining of parts and reduces their production.
In front of you a drawing of a simple model with electric motor and propeller. The real boats of this type are used in shallow rivers where conventional marine propeller can be damaged. Model making used popular material is Styrofoam. It is very easy and well handled. It can be cut with termoresta (see “M-K” № 3, 1978, p. 47), as well as a jigsaw, hacksaw or thin sharp knife. The processing done by plane or blade from a safety razor and a glass cloth. When gluing or painting you cannot apply substances containing acetone or nitrobacteria, as they spoil the foam.
Trailers for passenger cars, turning them into a small truck, particularly popular with rural residents and owners of summer cottages. Naturally they greatly facilitate the delivery of a wide variety of goods – sand and peat, sand and manure, bricks and gravel. It is a pity that load and unload their accounts entirely by hand – with a shovel. Offer readers the trailer-truck with tipper body. Having made yourself this, you can get rid of the problems when unloading.
Held in 2013 in the suburban town of Zhukovsky the International aerospace salon (MAKS-2013) successfully demonstrated their work to the young “rocket scientists”. Very popular with the audience enjoyed the exhibition of rocketmodeler of Elektrostal in Moscow region called “missiles of the Fatherland.” In this work, young technicians syut clearly demonstrated in the models in scale 1:25, the initial stage in the development of a missile shield of our country.
Usually mention the proverbial fifth wheel. However, some automakers use a formula, reflected in the name of our material. They really believe the fourth wheel in the car superfluous. Judge for yourself: unlike a four-legged three-legged stool on an uneven base does not wobble (remember school: three points can be spend a plane, and thus only one). Consequently, the frame “trehalase” will be more rigid and the car will be more lightweight and durable (and hence cheaper).
On the roads of Kharkiv, there was one car with the familiar letters of the COI — “Club eternal”. The automotive laboratory of the centre of scientific and technical work is headed by the laureate of many competitions NTTM Valerie L. Taranukha. This time in the neighborhood of the letters KVP caused the index of the TX-200. And the car, unlike all previous is built via a three-wheeled configuration, using the whole back of the scooter T-200. In this part is the main “rational” of the new machine, created the “Club of the eternal search for” V. L. Taranukha, together with the candidate of technical Sciences Y. S. Hojnowski. Hence the index — TX-200.
