TRIZ. Think for yourself

We already have tools for working with tasks - five powerful techniques:

1. Do the opposite

2. Use the change in aggregate state

3. Do it in advance

4. Do a little less than required

5. Apply "matryoshka"

You also know that physical effects and phenomena can be techniques. Finally, you have a reliable criterion for evaluating ideas: a good inventive idea necessarily overcomes contradiction.

I'll give you a few problems, practice. Remember that the point of training is not to go through options. Try to use tools - techniques, physics, knowledge of contradictions.

Task 9. ONE FOR ALL

The laboratory assembled an installation to study the movement of droplets of liquid mineral fertilizers sprayed from an airplane. A stream of air rushed through the pipe, carrying many droplets. But the sprayer I ordered and installed produced only very small droplets. Meanwhile, during the experiments it became clear that it was necessary to study the movement of larger droplets.

"Let's order a few more atomizers," one engineer suggested.

“Long and expensive,” the other objected. - Twenty experiments will require twenty different sprayers.

And then, of course, an inventor appeared.

“One sprayer will work for everyone,” he said. - The droplet sizes can be increased if...

And he explained what needs to be done.

What do you suggest?

Problem 9 will probably seem easy to you. The next tasks are more difficult, but you can handle them too.

Task 10. MAKE THE WATER SOFTER

One day, a famous coach, a former diving champion, complained to a colleague:

- It's hard to work. The jumps are becoming more and more difficult. You have to come up with new combinations, try them, and at the same time, you understand, the likelihood of unsuccessful “splashdowns” and injuries increases. When you fall from a height, the water “is not so soft... Sometimes I see: an athlete may try a new element, but is afraid of bruises, afraid of not getting to the competition due to injury...

“Nothing can be done,” the colleague sighed. - This is our sport. In my group, there are also injuries from unsuccessful jumps.

And then an inventor appeared.

“There will be no more injuries,” he said. - Let's make the water softer. To do this you need...

What do you think: what needs to be done with the water so that it becomes softer and athletes do not get injured during unsuccessful jumps?

Problem 11. ETERNAL PAINT

The director of the furniture factory said to the chief engineer:

- Last year we produced one hundred sets of furniture for kindergartens. But, unfortunately, consumers complain: the guys are tearing off the paint, scratching...

- What do we have to do with it? - the chief engineer was offended. - The most durable paint can be torn off or scratched. It doesn't depend on us. Maybe they want unpainted furniture?

“No,” the director sighed. - Multi-colored furniture is a must for kindergartens. Now, if the paint was not on the surface, but permeated all the wood...

- Fantasy! - the chief engineer laughed. - We tried to saturate wood with paint thousands of times. Nothing worked, you know.

And then an inventor appeared.

- No, this is not a fantasy! - he exclaimed. - Although, of course, it takes invention and courage to solve this problem. The trick is to...

What do you think is the trick here?

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

In a number of cities in the United States went on sale pocket radio "Command Audio". It allows you to choose programs of your choice from a variety of programs - news, weather, sports, literary and musical programs, etc.

Through a special programming channel, the receiver constantly receives encoded data about the programs of radio stations. With the help of these signals, the receiver switches from channel to channel in a timely manner, satisfying the tastes and preferences of its owner. True, for the use of the programming channel you have to pay 15 dollars a month. And the cost of the receiver itself is 200 dollars.

In those areas where the mentioned programming channel is not available, the receiver operates in the normal manual tuning mode.
