Autodrome for sea trials of models. Tips for a modeler

Modeling

A simple device, developed by members of the auto-modeling circle of the Ufa Palace of Children's Creativity, is becoming less and less useful to many trail builders. It greatly facilitates the creation of a miniature race track for sea trials of models. We were convinced of this by trying it in practice: the "driving" of grooves on the track is accelerated many times over.

The basis of the device is an L-shaped structure made of plywood 10-12 mm thick, fastened with duralumin plates and reinforced at the junction with a wooden bar. The DT-6 engine at 75 rpm is attached to the vertical wall with M2800 bolts. Holes for it are drilled in place, and to adjust the depth of milling it is better to make them oval. We machined the chuck for the cutter O 5 mm from brass and put it on the motor shaft. To obtain a groove of the required depth, the cutter in the device prepared for work should protrude 5 mm beyond the lower horizontal plane.

To form grooves on straight sections of the route, a guide bar is attached to the base of the device, as shown in the figure. It can be a wooden rail pressed with clamps, or a metal square fixed with bolts and wing nuts. In the latter case, holes are drilled along the side edges of the base in increments of 100 mm to fix the guide; when using a rail, it is enough to apply risks at appropriate distances.

Equipment option for milling straight grooves using a wooden lath (click to enlarge): 1 - cutter Ø 5 mm, 2 - cartridge, 3 - electric motor type DT-75 (220 V, 2300 rpm), 4 - vertical stand, plywood 12 mm, 5 - mounting bracket, 6 - horizontal plane, plywood 12 mm, 7 - holes for milling radius grooves, 8 - plank for milling straight grooves, 9 - clamps, 10 - wooden block 80x80 mm.

Holes along the longitudinal axis of the base are used to set the device in working position when milling radius grooves. This process is also easy. In the pre-marked section of the future route, drill the centers of the proposed roundings, aligning the corresponding base holes with them in turn (the guide bar, of course, must first be removed), fix the installation with a bolt and carry out "road work".

Milling using the first and sixth holes will make it easier for you to trim the edges of the future roadway and fit the bumpers to it.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

How to wake up quickly 18.01.2011

At the World Congress of Sleep Researchers, recently held in Texas (USA), a group of physiologists from Stanford University reported on a new way to quickly "bring to life" a sleepy person. This is done with short bursts of bright white light.

Volunteers who fell asleep at night were awakened two hours after falling asleep and the reaction time was checked. It, of course, was slow compared to the reaction of a waking person. But, if the awakened were irradiated once a minute with bright flashes of light lasting two milliseconds (approximately like a modern flashlight), they quickly came to their senses and the reaction time was reduced. Improved, according to sleep deprivation, and general subjective well-being.

Scientists believe that flashes can cheer up both workers on the night shift and sailors during the "dog watch".
