What are musical instruments?

They are divided into several main groups. If you do not take into account electronic instruments, these are keyboards, strings, wind and percussion.

Keyboard instruments produce musical sounds when pressed (accordion, button accordion) or hitting the keys (piano).

Strings sound when their strings are bowed, plucked or struck. Example - violin, guitar, harp.

Wind instruments make a sound when air passes through them. Most often, the performer blows into them (the exception is the bagpipe). They are divided into wooden (flute, oboe, etc.) and copper (trombone, helicon, etc.).

Percussion instruments make a sound when they strike a membrane (drum) or plates, metal or wood (cymbals, cymbals, etc.). There are also "clicking" instruments, such as castanets.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Robomobiles for highway construction 30.08.2015

In Florida (USA), it is planned to use innovative equipment for road works - trucks with an autopilot system.

We are talking about special machines equipped with so-called "shock attenuators" (Impact attenuator). These are special devices designed to absorb the impact energy in the event of an accident. Vehicles with "shock absorbers" are installed in the area of roadworks or highway construction to ensure the safety of workers. In addition, such machines can be used to change the trajectory of the crashed vehicle in order to lead it to the safest area.

Robo vehicles with "shock attenuators" were developed by Royal Truck & Equipment as part of a special program supervised by the Ministry of Transport. It is assumed that the autopilot system will avoid injuries and injuries that a truck driver can receive if another car crashes into him at high speed.

There are three ways to control the operation of robotic trucks: using GPS, using a remote control, and also by programming the movement of the vehicle in front.
