Yeah, but that is the only source I have found was the English>Russian site. I have my doubts that they ever even built anything like that. Would be rather feasible and Russia is so massive I could understand the need but I still doubt someone would do it. But, the reports sounded like not...
Ok I ran across a reference to Russian (USSR) mobile nuclear power plants. Basically a small nuclear pile that could be driven to a site and provide steam to power a generator.
Some of the pics apear to be Tatra trucks or a tracked vehicle. Does anyone have any sort of confermation of...
I know I might get really flamed for saying this but don't the lowrider guys have a lot of multiple circuit hydraulics figured out. All of the hoppers have electrical operated valves.
Back to the Hurricane concept you could have each wheel with its own actuator/cylinder. The geometry for...
Yup, lets just say the '04 season paid for my college. My family is in the roofing business and the state was hit by I think 4 or 5 hurricanes that year. First one put the ole-folks out of power for 14 days, then the next one that hit was 28 days. I came home and ran a crew during the...

Correct those are Dana 60s from dynatrac I think at least the front is. The boat hulling is designed for landmines and IEDs. Thank the Israelis for that one.
This MV has a very limited life span. Still wondering the back story on it. But I see LA in the locations which helps explain a lot. "Yah-no, Meh-bee som kin can help with dat recovery!"
I know of two Renault tanks brought back to the Patton Museum from Afghanistan. Probably a little better connected but hey that and the half came back why not yours right! Good luck hope you get it here.
Important numbers would be peak power and torque at what RPM. From there its simple to find what implement spins in that range or what you could gear reduce/increase to match the power requirements.
Massive roto-tiller comes to mind, boat, winch, trolly, anything hydraulic, the possibilities...
Someone piped up and mentioned boxing frames in the areas where high stress is seen. Like everything design should meet function. Personally I would box frames for added rigidity. As for designing a frame to act with a suspension like a Mog... I don't see many people doing that. You don't...
Some of the diesel forums were a bust. I'm now interested with some of the applications I've heard here. Thinking from what I know of the theory of operations the multi is pretty close to a ford 300 6cyl in power. That said I've seen those engines in almost anything.
The little experience I have is with a jeep. No power is my biggest failure issue. Other than that the new gen. orbitals that allow for centering and feed back are the way to go. Only real solution would be a electric back up red. system I think.
The self propelled idea just makes me think of our neighbors down here at NASA. With the current cuts to the space program would love to pick up the Crawler which is this little guys big brother. Always cool to see someones find. I would have been heart broken to, when I found out it wasn't...
Fuzz you google that up on the internet enables counter appliance. I love that movie, can't drive down by the port and not think of that awesome murdered out car.
