Walking barge
Once in ice cold winter time, from the sea to the shore ... climbed BARGE!
Writes blogger strangernn:
You will not believe, but the only thing I have doubts about - so it is in the adjective "icy." It was in the United States, there are jelly with very bad things, at the point of the experiment, Port Hueneme (California) - I'm quite sure. And so - it was the first of January 1948, and the barge, the development of designer John T. Tucker (John T. Tucker), really got on shore. And if you think there is some primitive wheels or tracks - it Aw, Snap! Barge-then this was striding ...

Sand it fundamentally is not terrible
Once out on the beach, it does not stop there, and confidently went to the dunes, and so on, and even tanks burst with envy. They, with the landing operations such drifting had somehow obrulivat avoid. And this - nothing wrong, and climbed upstairs, down and down without fear of tipping over. Yes there dunes - and the wall of her overweening!
Yes, that wall beach barge also took no particular problems. One and a half meters, once the envy of the tanks - as they never dreamed of. So what is this supervezdehod, and how he's doing such a thing? And most importantly - where is that pacing?
Unfortunately, the video of the process, I find the failed (and whether it was?), But schematically it looked something like this:
Barge this, as you see, was a "one-legged". Rearranges support (plus two small rear legs, for turns) allows you to transfer the barge in steps of 17 inches (a little more than 43cm) and transverse lugs on the basic design of the vessel prevented slipping back during the transfer feet for the next step. For the circulation of unknown type design was used, but the mission was two-speed forward and one back - that is, some mechanics. But, of course, on this leg is not quickly jump - the maximum speed on land is only a few meters per minute. Somewhere far away from the coastline will not leave her.
Another problem was the extremely uncomfortable organization of the internal space of the barge - where there is a cargo-fold? The relatively small leg or annular body? With so nekuzyavo that commercials. The result was that this superkonstruktsiya with TZ used as a landing craft nothing interesting existing boats and amphibians - so experiment and the experiment was ...
