DAF/Bakker Amfirol (Amphirol)
«Твой ход, шнекоход!» — так, помнится, называлась статья, опубликованная в давнем журнале «Техника — молодежи». Шнекоход DAF Amfirol, построенный в 1966 году, мог плавать, а на суше развивал до 35 км/ч. При этом шнекоход был оснащен... клиноременным вариатором!
DAF Amphirol - NOT build by DAF. It was build by a private individual (Jo de Bakker) as a hobby.
This vehicle has 2 DAF 750 cc engines with 2 variomatic gearboxes.
This means that there is 1 engine and 1 gear box for each roll.
The vehicle screws it self forward or reverse by rotating the rolls in opposite direction.
The real joke of this vehicle is that a variomatic gearbox gives the same speed forward and reverse.
So if you rotate both rolls in the same direction this vehicle moves at a frightening speed sideways.
By changing the parallel angle of the rolls, steering side ways works fine.
The 2 DAF engines where later replaced with 2 NSU rotary engines.
At the same time the sides where closed.
