New life for a discarded toy. Tools and materials

The guys have done cool car. Half Victory, half Batmobile!

August 2008…
The crown was taken 93 onwards. 3 liters automatic At first, it was planned to do the Muscovite 401 project, casts were made from the native body, expanded, elongated in proportions. As a result, it turned out, as it were, a Muscovite, but only bigger size. After estimating the body, measuring the proportions, and thinking - how will it look like ?! - the conclusion is that the body of the Muscovite does not channel to the base of the crown, it is necessary to strongly shift the engine shield back, and this entails a bunch of moments - for which it was not planned to waste time.
... in the end, the body was removed and began to think what to stir up ... we needed some kind of sedan, with a stylish design ...
I remember that a couple of years ago I came across interesting car, … started looking on the Internet, found it, it turned out to be a holden efiji and, in a similar way, a lincoln marshmallow — but he didn’t like the execution of the front part … they began to make a body shape according to the holden concept … the painstaking work of creating a body layout began, … foam was used, polyurethane foam, pieces of plastic, a cut off crown roof, gypsum ... veins, cartilage, horns, hooves ... etc ...
a form was made, evaluated from different angles - proportions, what is missing, what can be added ... something was removed, something was added again ...
... the result of three months of work, glued with fiberglass for roughing and puttyed for rough ...

— implementation of the project in 2009-2010.

Nowadays it's hard to surprise someone new model car, but vehicle, made by hand, has always attracted attention and excitement. A person who makes a car with his own hands expects two scenarios. The first is admiration for the creation, and the second is the smile of others at the sight of the invention. If you figure it out, then there is nothing complicated in assembling a car with your own hand. From a self-taught engineer, you only need to know the design of the car and the basic properties of its parts.

Historical facts

The beginning of car design was preceded by some historical conditions. During the existence of the union, mass production cars. They could not meet the individual needs of the consumer. That is why self-taught inventors began to look for ways out of this situation and did this by designing homemade cars.

In order to make one car with your own hands, three non-working ones were required, of which all were removed necessary spare parts. If we take into account people living in remote villages, they most often improved various bodies thus increasing their capacity. Cars began to appear that had high permeability and could even overcome the water. In a word, all forces were thrown to simplify life.

A separate category of people attached great importance to the appearance of the car, and not just its technical properties. In addition to beautiful cars were made sports cars, which were not much inferior to the factory copies. All these inventions not only surprised others, but also became full-fledged road users.

At times Soviet Union there were no specific restrictions on homemade vehicles. Prohibitions appeared in the 80s. They concerned only certain parameters and technical characteristics of the car. But most people could get around them by registering one vehicle with the appropriate authorities under the guise of a completely different one.

What you need to assemble a car

To proceed directly to the assembly process itself, you need to think through everything in detail. It is necessary to clearly understand how to do future car, and what technical specifications he must have. First you need to determine for what purposes the car will be used, and then implement the idea. If you need frank workhorse, then in order to make it yourself, you will need special materials and details. It is also important to make the body and frame of the car as resistant to stress as possible. When a car is made only for driving, the question is only in its appearance.

How to make a car with my own hands for a child, you can learn from next video:

How to make drawings

You should not trust your head and imagination, it would be better and more correct to think about what exactly the car should be. Then transfer all available considerations to paper. Then it is possible to correct something and as a result, a drawn copy will appear future car. Sometimes for complete confidence two drawings are made. The first one shows appearance car, and on the second a more detailed image of the main parts in detail. Before drawing, you need to prepare everything necessary tools, that is, a pencil, eraser, drawing paper and a ruler.

Nowadays, there is no need to draw a picture for a long time with a regular pencil. To facilitate this task, there are special programs, with wide capabilities and with their help you can make any drawing.

Advice! If there are no engineering programs, then the usual Word test editor will help in this situation.

With a strong desire, you can make any car with your own hands. If there are no own considerations, then already ready-made ideas and drawings can be borrowed. This is possible because most people involved in the creation of homemade cars do not hide their ideas, but, on the contrary, present them to the public.

kit-cars

In the vast countries of Europe and America, the so-called "kit-cars" have become widespread. So what is it? This is a certain amount various details with which you can make a car with your own hands. Kit cars have become so popular that there are many variants of kit cars that allow you to fold any car model you want. The main difficulty is not in the assembly, but in the registration of the car obtained as a result of the assembly.

For full-fledged work with a kit car, you need to have a spacious garage. In addition, you need tool kits and knowledge. If you do not have certain skills, then the work will not give the desired result. If the work is done with the help of assistants, the assembly process will be faster and more fruitful.

This kit includes everything from small screws and instructions to large parts. For full-fledged work, there should not be serious difficulties. It should be noted that the instruction does not have a printed form, but is presented by a video master class, where everything is considered to the smallest detail.

It is very important to assemble the car correctly. This is necessary in order for the creation to meet all the standards and norms prescribed in the regulations of the traffic police. Since non-compliance with the points leads to problems with registering the vehicle with the relevant authorities.

Advice! If there is such an opportunity, then you can consult with experts in this field.

You can learn more about what kit cars are and how to make them in the following video:

Building a car with scrap materials

To make assembly as easy as possible homemade car, as a basis, you can take the base of any other car that is fully functioning. Best to take a budget option, since it is never known in which direction the experiments will lead. If there are old worn parts, then they must be replaced with serviceable ones. If possible, you can make parts with your own hands on lathes, but this is if you have professional skills.

First of all, you need to start assembling the car with the body, instruments and necessary interior parts. Modern inventors use fiberglass for the body, but before there was no such material, and plywood and tin material were used.

Attention! Fiberglass is a fairly elastic material, which allows you to implement any idea, even the most unusual and original.

The availability of materials, spare parts and other components makes it possible to design a car that, in terms of external parameters and appearance, will not be inferior to car models of the world's leading automakers. This requires ingenuity, good imagination and certain knowledge.

DIY supercar:

Building a car from fiberglass

Start assembling a car from fiberglass should be from the moment of choosing a suitable chassis. After that, the selection of the necessary units is carried out. Then it’s worth moving on to the layout of the cabin and mounting the seats. Upon completion of this, the chassis is strengthened. The frame must be very reliable and strong, since all the main parts of the car will be mounted on it. The more accurate the dimensions space frame, the better the details fit together.

For the manufacture of the body is best to use fiberglass. But first you need to make a base, that is, a frame. Styrofoam sheets can be attached to the surface of the frame, as closely as possible corresponding to the available drawings. Then, if necessary, holes are cut out, and, if necessary, the parameters are adjusted. After that, fiberglass is attached to the surface of the foam, which is puttied and cleaned from above. It is not necessary to use foam plastic, any other material that has high level plasticity. Such material can be a continuous sheet of sculptural plasticine.

It should be noted that fiberglass tends to deform during operation. The reason is the effect high temperatures. To maintain the shape of the structure, it is necessary to inner side strengthen the frame with pipes. All excess parts of the fiberglass must be removed, but this should be done after it is completely dry. If everything is done correctly and there are no other works regarding the design, you can proceed to the interior equipment and electronics fasteners.

If it is planned to re-design in the future, then a special matrix can be made. Thanks to her, the body manufacturing process will be faster and easier. The matrix is ​​applicable not only to make a vehicle with your own hands from scratch, but also to improve the condition of the existing own car. For the manufacture of paraffin is taken. To get a smooth surface, you need to cover it with paint on top. This will increase the convenience of fastening parts for a new car body.

Attention! With the help of the matrix, the entire body is made completely. But there is an exception - this is the hood and doors.

Conclusion

In order to implement the existing idea and make a car with your own hands, there is whole line suitable options. All sorts of working details will be useful here.

With your own hands you can do not only a car, but also larger and powerful truck. In some countries, craftsmen manage to earn decent money on this. They make cars to order. Cars with various original parts body.

How to make a Porsche with your own hands:

Today it is very popular to make products with your own hands, and what craftsmen just don’t do - overhaul from improvised means, furniture, toys, jewelry, clothes, shoes, interior decor items and even landscaped house territory. It would seem that what can be done from a hair clipper? Meanwhile, there are many useful household items that can be done in just half an hour. What - we will tell below. But first, let's talk about how the device works, what difficulties may arise when remaking it.

Principle of operation

Of course the device different models may vary, but general view it can be represented as follows:

• plastic case;
• fixed iron core;
• coil with wire;
• power button;
• a mechanism that drives the knives;
• actual knife blades.

Important! When applying alternating current on the coil, an alternating magnetic field arises in it, which sets in motion a movable mechanism - an anchor. He, in turn, makes the knives of the electric machine move.

Basically, that's all. Devices may differ in configuration and functions, but the basic operation does not change from this.

So, what can we do with an old trimmer? Let's take a closer look.

Sander

In order to independently create a vibro-grinding device, we need quite a bit.

Tools and materials:

• an old but working haircut trimmer;
• screwdriver;
• 5 mm bolt and nut, and two hex socket bolts;
• a small piece of plywood, a little more than 8x8 cm, and one more to check the finished device;
• jigsaw;
• double-sided adhesive tape;
• sandpaper fine and medium;
• Ruler and pencil;
• chisel;
• drill;
• hex key.

When all necessary materials tools are ready, you can start work.

Steps

First we need to remove the blades from our old clipper. This can be done by unscrewing the two fasteners with a screwdriver. Next, follow a certain sequence of steps:

1. Knives are removed and set aside. We do not need them for this device.
2. Next, you need to disassemble the device by unscrewing the screws on its body with a screwdriver.
3. When the case is opened, we can see a wide metal plate in it, which must also be removed by unscrewing all the fasteners.
4. The motor is located inside the device.

Important! Please note that not all motors are the same. There are models with an engine, and there are mechanisms with an eccentric, but in any case, they are responsible for the operation of our device.

1. Next, we take a bolt and a nut for five, fasten them to the nose of the anchor to make the vibration more powerful. After that, the mechanism can be activated and the vibration level checked.
2. When the check is completed, the lid is screwed back and the workpiece is set aside for a short time.
3. Next, you need to take a small piece of plywood, draw an isosceles triangle on it.

Important! The dimensions of the triangle should be such that when it is fixed in the center of the machine, the edges of the nozzle protrude by one and a half to two centimeters. Usually use a side of eight centimeters, but you can choose for yourself best option by experience.

1. When the triangle is drawn, you can use a jigsaw: carefully cut out the workpiece and clean all the cuts with sandpaper.
2. Next, take our machine again, unscrew the fasteners of the adjustable plate at the top of the device, and remove it.
3. We apply the plate in the center of the triangle, circle it on all sides with a pencil, not forgetting about the two holes in the middle.
4. Then you will need to make a recess for the adjustable plate in the triangle, but first drill two holes in the middle and install the hex bolts in them. If their hat protrudes strongly, it will interfere with work, so with a larger diameter drill, recesses are made according to the size of the hat.
5. The burrs at the places of saw cuts must be well cleaned with sandpaper.
6. Next, with a chisel, we hollow out a rectangular recess under the plate.

At the final stage, we fasten the plate to the device, attach a plywood triangle to it with bolts. To keep the whole structure firmly, use a hex wrench. The build is complete and our device needs to be tested.

Examination:

• To check, prepare fine-grained sandpaper, glue double-sided tape on it from the back and cut a triangle from the sandpaper with tape, according to the size of our homemade nozzle.
• Next, sandpaper is glued to the device and its operation is checked on a small part of plywood.

Important! Such a device is well suited for very delicate grinding of various surfaces, as well as for fine cleaning. In principle, the device can also cope with general finishing work on various materials such as wood or metal products.

Despite the fact that the surface treatment in this type of machine is only due to vibration, it will easily help to cope with small finishing jobs.

Of course, it happens that vibration alone is not enough for high-quality grinding, but it is thanks to it that the device glides well over the surface.

But this is not all that folk craftsmen are capable of. You can also make a vibrating massager from an old hair clipper.

Making a massager

When the masters are looking for an answer to the question of what can be done from an old hair clipper, they get very unusual ideas. For example, make a homemade massager with your own hands.

Work order:

1. First, let's take a look at the machine. To do this, unscrew all the upper fasteners and remove the plastic cover that protects the motor.
2. Further, with the help of fastening rivets to moving mechanism we attach a small metal plate that will serve as a holder for the massage rollers.
3. Actually, then we install the holder and the rollers themselves on the plate, which will perform massage functions.
4. We fasten the protective cover into place, turn on the device in the network for verification.

As a result, we get a wonderful homemade massager that will help relax the muscles after a hard day's work.

But there is another good option for reworking an old trimmer - a demagnetizer.

Making a demagnetizer

We start work, as usual - by disassembling the device. Inside we will find a pendulum that moves the blades, the coil and the core in the form of the letter “T”:

1. To achieve a powerful effect, the demagnetizer initially needs powerful motor. We leave the part with the motor, and saw off the body along the lower part of the pendulum, and disconnect the pendulum from the coil. Let's put it aside, we don't need it for further work.
2. We cut the top cover in the same way, and install its long part back, tightening all the fasteners.

Important! The upper part of the sawn device is not firmly fixed, because after sawing there were no screws left in it. Therefore, use electrical tape, soldering or glue to secure the parts together.

1. Next, we connect the device to the network without pressing the power button.
2. Then we check the work: take a few iron bolts and, for example, a screwdriver. We leave the bolts on the table, and turn on the machine with the button.
3. We apply the iron part of the screwdriver to the open core. At the same time, the screwdriver should immediately attract, and the device may make a slight crack. Thus, the screwdriver is magnetized.
4. We turn off the device and check if the bolts are magnetized to the screwdriver.

On this magnetizer is ready. But how now to demagnetize a screwdriver? Everything is simple.

I got this from my nephew radio-controlled car toy. The range is only about 15 meters, the weak electronic part, i.e. the front wheels barely turn and the drive pulls very weakly.

With nothing to do, I decided not to pump this much radio-controlled car. Digging through the bins, I found a 40MHz receiver and two servos, one HS-311 in working order and one powerful digital MG946R with a burnt out engine. I adapted the HS-311 to the steering wheel in exchange for the native, frail design, and the MG946R took only the electronic control board. I connected servos for the place of the engine traction motor radio-controlled cars, and soldered a 4.7 kOhm tuning resistor in place of the servo variable.

Setting up a radio-controlled car

The converted radio-controlled toy, when the transmitter is first turned on, starts spinning the wheels, in order to stop them, you need to:

• Connect gas servo to channel 2 (PB channel)
• Configure if you need a channel reverse
• Trimmer to stop the rotation of the wheels

Then we rebuild the expansions (set 100% for gas), expenses and trim the steering wheel. For food, I used 5 cans NICD batteries, redone radio-controlled car came out powerful and nimble. It was not without problems, the native traction engine turned out to be rather weak, it gets very hot and stinks, I think he will not have to live long. But in general, the alteration was a success, now the machine drives from under the remote control

Good afternoon

I decided to make my son a BMW X5 radio-controlled car with increased dynamic characteristics. The donor is an old, dead, non-working machine 1\16, one might say from the garbage heap ... All I needed from her was a body and a transmission. By the way, she's all-wheel drive. With constant all-wheel drive and two free differentials. Front wheel drive through plastic drives of equal angular speeds.

I picked up the motor COLLECTOR. Because the brushless one will simply tear the plastic differentials, and the collector power is more than enough. More on that below.)

Naturally, the donor was without a steering servo and I had to use an aluminum plate 10x3mm? bend the steering linkage of the required dimensions. The servo used Corona C-DS-929MG (). This servo used to be on the NK 450 swashplate. These servos have a very flimsy body and weak ears. They did not live long on the helicopter. Hull cracked. I took them off and glued them with a strong thread with glue. The body became unkillable.

Rocking chairs from the HK 450pro helicopter:

A power electric motor, to be honest, without knowing what its characteristics are. I found it at a friend's house. He was destined to be thrown into the trash can))

I took the voltage regulator HobbyKing X-Car 45A I took it with a margin, all the same four-wheel drive ...

Now trouble. The cardan was lost ... Where did he go, I have no idea. Like sinking into the water. Plastic spheres were worn on the cardan, such as the bones of Short Trooper 1/10. Making the cardan itself is not a problem. But these tips are a pity. In general, while the car with the classic rear wheel drive (.

Soldered the wires to the motor. I connected a servo drive and a current regulator to the receiver.

I put the battery directly into the cabin through the removed hatch. Because I don't have small 2S batteries. There are only nanoteks 2S 5000mAh. And they are huge for a regular battery compartment.

In general, the machine turned out just a beast. At 40% power and a 2S battery, it is impossible to start without slipping. Need wheels with good grip. The car is dynamic and rulitsya well. You can drift on it)))

In general, do not throw away the old toy cars! Give them new life.

Best regards, Sergei.
