Who is the palm thief?

Not a monkey at all. This animal is a ten-legged crustacean from the family of land crayfish that lives along the shores of the Pacific and Indian oceans, where coconut palms grow. The palm thief climbs up the trunk, bites the stalk on which the nut is held, it falls and becomes cancer food.

What scream can be heard in over 200 movies and computer games?

In the 1951 western "Distant Drums", a short scream called "A man is bitten by an alligator and he screams" was used for voice acting. The second appearance of this cry is recorded in the film "Attacks at the Feather River", where it is emitted by Private Wilhelm, wounded by an arrow from a bow. The sound then appeared in several more Warner Bros. films, and in the 1970s, sound engineer Ben Burt adopted it and used it as his trademark in many films, including the Star Wars and Indiana Jones series. Soon other sound engineers picked up this tradition - at the moment, Wilhelm's scream can be heard in more than 200 films and computer games.

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 ... >>

Micromotors 17.01.2000

The American company Micromo Electronics, in cooperation with German designers, has developed and mass-produces motors with a diameter of 1,9 mm.

This micro-electric motor provides a torque of 50 to 300 micronewtons and a speed of up to 20 rpm. For a short time, it can develop 000 rpm. Replaceable gearboxes are attached to the motor, reducing the speed by 50 and 000 times.

The gearboxes have the same diameter as the motor itself, and their length is from 2,14 to 3,7 millimeters. In the manufacture of microelectric motors, microlithography methods are used, as in the creation of computer circuits.

Such dwarfs are used in cameras for automatic focusing of the lens, for moving magnetic heads in computer hard drives and in other precision instruments.
