19 homemade vehicles from China that will amaze the wildest imagination

Undoubtedly, the Chinese economy is constantly developing, this can be judged even by the constantly increasing number of entrepreneurs and various kinds of inventors in the country. Many engineers, farmers and just businessmen create their own rather ambitious projects here, including: homemade submarines, aircraft, robots and security systems. Some of these people pursue the goal of getting rich with the help of their creations, while other inventors realize their plans for the sake of simple interest. Let's look at a selection of the best homemade vehicles invented in China.

A father decided to create a giant gift for his son with his own hands.

Friends came to the rescue, and together they managed to build a one-ton bicycle over three meters high and five and a half meters long in two months. The creation cost the craftsmen 3 thousand 150 dollars. This miracle happened in 2011 in Jilin province.

Maximum technical characteristics of a homemade all-terrain vehicle

To perform special tasks, mini-all-terrain vehicles must have sufficient technical capabilities. These include:

1. Engine power - up to 200 hp. The Nick brand has this indicator. Most homemade versions use a Lifan engine with a power of 18-20 hp. For motorcycle-based models, the figure is 7-8 hp.
2. Engine capacity on the Tinger Scout is up to 1100 cc. cm. On the Patrol Truck all-terrain vehicle - 708 cubic meters. cm, and the tank holds 38 liters of fuel. On most models - up to 250 cc. cm.
3. The carrying capacity is higher for tracked vehicles. Thus, the Dozor can lift 600 kg of cargo, the weight of 6 people including the driver, and tow up to 2 tons. For wheeled versions, the high figure is 300 kg.
4. The maximum speed is up to 60 km/h, which is available to the Patrol Truck all-terrain vehicle. It can move through snowdrifts at a speed of 30 km/h. Although for tracked versions the average speed is 20 km/h.

Car owners choose models based on a wide range of characteristics, such as the number of gears, suspension travel, ground clearance, etc. Depending on the tasks that the vehicle will perform, the buyer selects its technical characteristics.

Samauto-2017

In the vast expanses of the former USSR, the traditions of self-construction are also strong. During the Soviet years, there was a movement called “samavto”, which united enthusiasts of homemade cars and motorcycles. And there were quite a few of them, since in those years it seemed that it was easier to assemble a car with your own hands than to buy it - despite the total shortage of spare parts and bureaucratic obstacles. And what interesting projects were born in those years! Yuna, Pangolina, Laura, Ichthyander and others... Yes, there were people. However, they remained.

Several years ago, I wrote about the brainchild of Muscovite Evgeniy Danilin called “Kalistrat” - an SUV reminiscent of the Hummer H1, but significantly superior to it in cross-country ability.

Bottle car

Who said that a car can't float? It is quite possible that the bottle car craft will go sailing with the child.

You will need a lot of empty plastic bottles and tape.

The first step will be to construct 3 parts, such as a raft of different sizes. We connect three rafts, placing them one by one from largest to smallest using tape.

Other parts can be cut from polystyrene foam (it is also not afraid of water). You can decorate using improvised means.

This machine is not a rescue tool, so it must be under adult supervision when in the water.

Review of famous mini all-terrain vehicles

Every year new models of small all-terrain vehicles appear on the market from automobile manufacturing enterprises and self-taught designers.

The design is based on GAZ.
This is a set that includes a minibus and a diesel tractor. It has a wide track and increased ground clearance. Due to this, he can pass any obstacles. Main characteristics

By creating a model with his own hands, the owner receives as a result an individual vehicle with the necessary characteristics and capabilities. During the design process, he studies the structure of the all-terrain vehicle in detail, and this helps in the repair and operation of the vehicle.

A Vietnamese car mechanic from Bac Giang province created a replica of a Rolls-Royce using an old VAZ Seven. I bought it for 10 million dong (about $500). He spent another 20 million on “tuning”. Most of the amount went to metal, electrodes and a radiator grille a la Rolls-Royce, ordered from a local workshop. It turned out rough. But the guy became famous. A real Rolls-Royce Phantom in Vietnam costs about 30 billion VND.

Racing car made from a toilet paper roll

It would seem that you can use the remaining toilet paper roll, a few bright napkins and bottle caps.

But it turns out that these are all the necessary materials for making a racer’s car; by the way, it can be taken from a Lego set.

Cover the bushing with a bright colored napkin and dry it. We make a racer's seat by gluing several rectangles bent into the letter G and a steering wheel (circle).

We cut a hole where we place the pre-prepared racer's seat and steering wheel. Using a glue gun, we attach 4 identical plugs, forming the wheels of the car.

We decorate with a classic number and stripes, you can draw them with a marker. We glue small parts - headlights, radiator grille and feet.

Drawings of various modifications

Homemade all-terrain vehicles are assembled according to the drawings of kit kit manufacturers. But in Russia there are many masters who offer their own schemes.

They post detailed descriptions with calculations and diagrams on social networks.

There are special sites on the Internet that host various homemade devices. The following types of drawings can be used:

1. Schemes for all-terrain vehicles on tracks or wheels.
2. Description of individual components and assemblies.
3. Layout options and exact dimensions for wheeled and tracked models.
4. The design of the frame, axles, wheel alignment units, steering knuckle, etc.

When designing and constructing, the car owner can take advantage of the suggestions of the masters, make his own adjustments and get a transport convenient for himself.

Instructions for assembling a tracked all-terrain vehicle

Manufacturers of kit kits and individual craftsmen offer detailed descriptions of assembling all-terrain vehicles on caterpillar tracks. This is one of the most difficult options to make yourself.

To work you will need the following parts:

1. Body. It is cut out of metal according to the required parameters or taken as a basis from the VAZ one.
2. Sheets of metal.
3. Engine, gearbox, axles, steering wheel, levers and other chassis components.
4. Brake pads or disc systems.
5. Seats for the interior, made by yourself, or taken from other cars.
6. Wheels and hubs.
7. Tracks, fangs for caterpillars, conveyor belt.
8. Corner.
9. Profiled pipe, etc.

The sequence of work is as follows:

1. The drive axle is assembled, placing the gearbox and planetary mechanism.
2. Install the engine on the frame.
3. The motor is connected to the drive wheels by installing a transmission gear.
4. The body of the all-terrain vehicle is placed on the mechanisms.
5. The caterpillar is assembled from tracks and fangs on the basis of a conveyor belt.

Snow and swamp vehicle

These all-terrain vehicles with a sealed body are capable of swimming and moving through swamps, snow, and rough terrain. They come in wheeled, tracked and complex wheel-tracked types. Low pressure tires are used for the wheels.

Oil workers, gas workers, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations travel on factory-assembled all-terrain vehicles. Hunters and fishermen buy ready-made kits, build according to drawings proposed by other inventors, or come up with amphibian designs themselves and assemble homemade units. The work uses automotive components, the Lifan engine.

Lightweight and passable option

To go fishing or pick mushrooms, you need a small, inexpensive, but passable all-terrain vehicle. To achieve this, the design lightens the rear axle and uses a shortened base. An all-terrain vehicle is built on the basis of a walk-behind tractor.

Homemade snow and swamp-going vehicles with a Chinese or VAZ automobile engine, with a gearbox and other transmission components manufactured at domestic automobile industry enterprises have more power.

The main criteria for choosing a mini-all-terrain vehicle:

1. Patency.
2. Power.
3. Buoyancy.
4. Load capacity.
5. Soil load.
