How does an airbag work?

During sudden braking, impact, the touch sensor includes electronic ignition of a portion of sodium nitrous weighing 130 g. In this case, 30 liters of nitrogen are released within 67 milliseconds, which fills the airbag.

What do sharks eat?

There are about 250 different types of sharks, they vary in size: from 0,5 meters to 15-18 meters in length, such as the giant whale shark. Are there sharks that eat humans? Yes, 27 kinds of sharks can attack him. Among them are white shark, hammerhead fish, tiger shark, lemon shark. But none of the sharks attack humans as a means of food. Sharks eat mainly vertebrate fish, cephalopods, crustaceans such as lobsters and small shrimp. They also feed on turtles, dolphins and birds.

Some species of sharks feed on their relatives. The largest sharks, such as the whale shark, eat the smallest amount of food. They feed on small fish and tiny animals that live in seaweed. To find food, the shark relies mainly on its nose. The hungrier the shark, the more sensitive its nose. The shark circles around its prey for a long time before approaching it to strike. Sea foxes use long, curled tails to pierce their prey. They twist their tail from side to side, sometimes stunning the victim with powerful blows.

Often a school of sharks becomes so irritated that they eat everything and everyone in their path. The more they do it, the more furious they become. In this state, they can eat rubber tires, cans, boats, oars - anything that comes across. Scientists call this condition hungry rabies. Even the smallest and weakest sharks are dangerous during such a frenzy.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

UAVOS drone with record run time 27.01.2020

The Robinson R22 helicopter became the basis for an unmanned aerial vehicle, which UAVOS introduced some time ago. Unlike most rotary wing drones powered by electric motors, this product differs in size and in that it is equipped with a gasoline engine. As a result, the UAVOS drone can lift up to 180 kg (40 kg with a full fuel tank) and fly up to 1020 km.

The unmanned helicopter is designed to deliver goods and provide humanitarian assistance. It can stay in the air for up to 6 hours and fly in much more difficult weather conditions than small electric drones. For takeoff and landing, he needs a platform with dimensions of 15 x 15 m.

The cruising speed is 160 km/h, the working ceiling is 4200 m.
