Young people and students of KPI were born and raised in the independent state. They relaxed, curious, mobile and mostly talented and original. Through social networks not only communicate with like-minded, but also have the opportunity to express themselves. So we met with Maxim Sheremet, who is a student of 3rd year FASS. In contrast to peers who post serene picture, on his pages are full of photos of unusual designs comments: youth, preferably their invention presents humorous and serious.
In the technical sphere illusionists called inventors
"By seventh grade I studied in an English special school - says the guy. - Then in the Economics and Law high school, graduating with honors. And even then I realized that no human sciences I want to do in the future. In addition, the mother - engineer ". As a child, recalls Maxim entire floor in his room was dotted with elements of LEGO. He enthusiastically collected incredible designs, improved and reworked them. This is influenced on the future career choices, confident young man. The men in the family did not withdraw from work with his hands, so practice with tools and wood working guy learned from his father, and studied welding craft in his grandfather. Now with satisfaction makes simple wooden things, repair of small household appliances and electronics. "And also like tractors and motorcycles. And fishing" - he admits.
Communication with peers and teachers gave new impetus to amateur art. In the first year Maxim carried away of aeromodelling. The hard work to create a UAV (monokryla) still ongoing. Although the developers hope to soon test it in sport complex "Chayka".
Models created at home. Asked about the supervisor replied that not once asked for tips and advice to teachers FASS and always received satisfactory answers.
In technical sphere imagination can't be substitute
An outstanding event in the first year was the participation in the competition "Red Bull Gravity Challenge". We had a creative device that would "outwitted" force of gravity. The task is simple: we must from the 15-meter-high to reset egg, so it is not broken. The guys came up with a simple way to transport fragile body like a rocket landing capsule in the "volanchyk" suspended from a parachute. We hoped that after landing "volanchyk" lies on its side and fall out egg. "Eggs we are not saved" - recalled then designers - but still scoring points collected. And the experience - something acquirable."
Typically, important technical improvements have unexpected character
The second course was marked by admiration for the inventor ATV. He designed and assembled buggy. "Total for the realization project - says the guy - it took two months of daily work and irregular electrodes 11 kg." And further divided into technical details (maybe someone come in handy). The two-cylinder engine is from a motorcycle "Dnepr"; front axles are from the "Zaporozhets" back are with the tractor and "Kopiyky"; front suspension is from rear shock absorbers "Dnepr", back is from the front fork, coupled with the bracket. Gas is in the form of handles increasing speed, exhaust pipes displayed on the side of the frame. "All this is from drafts to the final product was done manually without assistance - proudly says the inventor. - The testing apparatus shown speed to 130 km / h. While standing in grandmother's garage."
In the inventors highly developed imagination, so they like scientists
There were other crazy devices such as a gun that shoots potatoes (for, judging by the video), hand grenade on a tripod for airsoft and others.
But not only design attracts student. He has many hobbies, such as played in KVN team of Faculty; told the "anti-scientific" conference as create a solar panel at home; alone learned to play guitar and piano and played before friends; organizes weekend trips on faculty, contests and competitions; he travels hitchhiking (still internal); made several parachute jumps; working in fast-food NSK "Olympic"; for a day with friends built a wooden raft and tested it on the Dnieper (about this and other adventures of the young man told me in one of the club meeting in the "Tower"). He hopes that next cases will be more massive and successful. How do you manage to organize friends for unusual adventure? It is enough to throw challenge in KPI chat or to write friends in social networks. The main work alone without command and do not criticize.
The inventors have to create a lot of designs, each of them a kind that, having tried them, to receive suitable
This year, car and plane lost musical creativity. Sounds cool, say local experts. The plans are guitar-bass rake and shovel. Jokingly, within the "World of Art" (nomination "By own hands"), created and demonstrated to the public the guitar-shovel, for which he received the first prize in the amount of seven thousand UAH. And for the next stage of the competition already prepared-guitar skate (you can look at and even play on it in the same "Tower"). "Better to pay more attention to education than to spoil the everyday things" - my colleague once remarked, looking at photos of "musical works". Maybe. But, you see, it's not a bad way to earn several thousand UAH and show off in front of girls.
Maxim Sheremet also reported that he is a member of the All-Ukrainian public organization "Ukrainian nationalist Self-Defense", working in the headquarters of a public creating the public order in NTUU 'KPI". "I want that at our Faculty everything was quiet. Different are cases, but so far so good," - said the activist.
In technical case lack of imagination can’t replace by something
Maxim advises his peers to read a lot, learns, develop, make useful acquaintances, to live independently, to love, to create and find a deal, which willingly engage in the future. No teacher doesn't teach you to love your future profession. "I have in the KPI my best years - says Maxim. I have become an engineer by educational. And that's fine!"
