The planetary Rovers

Lunar Rover — a four-wheeled all-terrain unit, controlled by a transmitting-receiving radio equipment. Its creators, the brothers Sergei and Yuri Khaloimova from the city of Livny, Oryol oblast made wheels are not solid, but made up of separate spokes-feet, curved at the end and “clad” in the shoes of rubber. Hence the feature of the design: the wheels do not roll, as it were, step over obstacles.

 

According to the plan guys, the lunar Rover can be used in terrestrial conditions. It can move through loose Sands, forest clearings, mountain and rocky terrain.

Mechanical actuator “Galaxy” consists of a micro motor with reducer, made from an old alarm clock; it drives a pair of wheels. Via a second gearbox, which motion is transmitted by belts from the shaft of the first gear, rotating radar antenna.

To drive the model for its platform includes a receiver with an actuator, which in turn comprises of a team. Here is the battery power of the receiver and the traction engine.

 

The model performs the following commands: move forward (at this time, light bulbs, simulating the operation of the radar); includes front and rear projectors; move forward (with illuminated front floodlights); stop — includes front and rear lights.

 

At the end of the model the main switch is transitioned to the “off”position.
