TRIZ. All immense physics

Henri Grizhot, a patient in a psychiatric clinic, invented ... hard water. Not ice, but solid water, which would not melt at least up to 200 degrees. And it succeeded... in the fantastic story of the Polish writer Stefan Weinfeld "Crazy". Grijot received a white powder-like powder. With strong heating, the powder turned into ordinary pure water.

The story was published in 1964. And three years later, they actually invented hard water, consisting of a mixture of 90 percent water with 10 percent silicic acid. Solid water really turned out to be like white powder.

The question may arise: why do we need solid water?

Let's give the floor to Henri Grizhot: "My invention will make it possible to build factories in areas rich in minerals, but poor in water; now it is delivered in expensive tanks, but they will be sent simply in paper bags. Trade? Glass, ceramic and metal vessels for all kinds of liquids will completely disappear "Liquids will be sold as powders containing dry water...Thousands, tens of thousands of uses of dry water in ordinary life will lead to a complete revolution. Using water in a liquid state will be as funny as using a torch."

Scientists are striving to obtain solid water that would contain only two to three percent silicic acid. There is nothing about this in physics textbooks. Physics is developing very rapidly, new effects and phenomena are being discovered all the time. Can you imagine how important it is for inventors to know about these new discoveries?

Here is a typical story. While some scientists tried to make water more solid, others were looking for ways to make water more ... liquid. In 1948, the English scientist V. Tome discovered an amazing physical effect: the friction of water on the walls of a water pipe can be drastically reduced by adding an insignificant amount (hundredths of a percent) of some polymers to the water. Friction is largely caused by the formation of vortices in a fast-moving stream, and long polymer molecules, located along the stream, dampen vortices, streamline the movement of water, make water more slippery ... The message about the Toms effect was published, and soon many inventions appeared that used the new opening. The Toms effect helped to increase the speed of ships, reduce energy losses during the transportation of various liquids through pipes, and increase the "range" of fire hoses. And recently, inventors from Moscow State University proposed adding polymers to ... ice on skating rinks. High pressure is created under the blade of the skate, the ice melts, a thin layer of water lubricant is formed, which allows the skater to glide on the ice. The polymer added to the ice goes into this lubricant and reduces friction.

There are many such examples. The inventor needs all the boundless physics - thousands and thousands of effects and phenomena. You can object: no physicist knows all of physics, because there are so many sections in it. An inventor cannot be required to know physics better than physicists. Yes, of course, you can not embrace the immensity. The way out is to create detailed reference books on the inventive application of physical effects and phenomena. Approximately the same as we did with the corona discharge, only, of course, much more detailed and accurate.

The first reference books on "inventive physics" appeared in the early 70s. They described the inventive possibilities of many physical effects. It would seem that after this, reference books on combinations of effects should appear. But such guides do not yet exist. Too many possible combinations...

Here, for example, is such a phenomenon as the polarization of light. We know that light is an electromagnetic wave. By passing light through certain substances, it can be polarized: oscillations will occur in one plane, for example, in a vertical one. The second phenomenon: there are crystals that rotate the plane of polarization of light. The thicker the plate of such a crystal, the more the plane of polarization of the polarized light passing through the plate rotates. The third phenomenon (it is familiar to you): when heated, the body expands. Combine these three phenomena - you get ... a thermometer. The higher the temperature, the greater the thickness of the plate and, consequently, the greater the angle of rotation of the polarized light passing through the plate.

The laws by which such combinations of physical effects are formed are not yet entirely clear. Here today is the cutting edge of research on the theory of inventive problem solving.

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 ... >>

Floating solar power plants 15.09.2014

In the Japanese prefecture of Hyogo on Lake Nishihira, the operation of one of the largest floating solar stations will begin in September.

The capacity of the power plant will be 1,7 MW. It is also planned to install another 1,2 MW floating solar power plant on Lake Higashihira in the near future.

The supply of solar modules, installation, maintenance and operation of the floating solar power plant is provided by Kyocera Corporation and Ciel et Terre International, and the project is financially supported by Century Tokyo Leasing Corporation.

Kyocera plans to install floating solar power plants with a total capacity of 60 MW by the end of March 2015. For this, the company is going to use Ciel et Terre International's floating structures and their technology for mounting photovoltaic cells. Each module used to create a power plant consists of two Hydrelio floats. These floats are made from PE-HD (High Density Polyethylene) and are UV and corrosion resistant. The solar module is mounted on one float and maintenance operations can be carried out on the other.

Tests have shown that the Ciel et Terre International system remains stable even in hurricane-force winds.
