Is separate food useful?

Yes and no.

Eating only one food or a set of foods that go well together at each meal is beneficial to health. But if you have already begun to eat separately, then you should always do this: any departure from this principle can bring significant harm to health.

Who Invented the Refrigerator?

Freezing is the process of creating cold and keeping things cold. This is achieved by completely extracting heat from objects, so freezing is the process of removing heat. In ancient times, of course, snow and ice were used for this purpose. It was the natural way. This is how the wines cooled.

But even in ancient times, another way of creating cold was known. It was the process of dissolving certain salts in water. Materials such as saltpeter salts and ammonium nitrate cool the water in which they dissolve. Thus, the temperature of the water drops. Salt lowers the freezing point of water. When salt is poured onto ice, it turns into water. For this change to occur, energy costs, and hence heat, are needed.

Thus, the primary methods of cooling were natural, such as ice and water and salts dissolved in water. But there is another way of freezing, it is called evaporation, the transformation of a liquid into vapor. When a small amount of water or alcohol gets on the hand, a cooling sensation is felt: the liquid evaporates, taking away part of the heat. This principle of evaporation is used in modern refrigerators.

In 1823, Michael Faraday discovered how ammonia vapor is turned into a liquid by increasing pressure and compressing it, and then extracting heat. When the pressure increases and the liquid evaporates again, this requires heat, and cold is generated.

How did this discovery make the invention of the refrigerator possible? Everything is very simple. There was a way when first the vapor turns into a liquid - giving off heat. Then we can turn it into steam again - taking away the heat. By controlling this process, making it continuous, we get modern refrigerators.

The first refrigerators based on this principle were built by the Swiss inventor Carl Lind in 1874 to cool beer. In 1877, Lind used ammonia as a liquid in his invention, hence the history of the refrigerator.

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 ... >>

Xiaomi gadget for smartphone disinfection 22.03.2020

Xiaomi has introduced a gadget for sterilizing and disinfecting smartphones and other small items, which has become available for order. At the pre-order stage, the device is offered for $69. After the release, the price will increase to $91.

The developers claim that the procedure takes only 30 seconds, while the efficiency of the device is 99,99%. Of course, the gadget also kills the new coronavirus, which everyone is talking about today.

All you have to do is unzip your bag, place your smartphone or other small item inside, close the zipper and press the power button.

The manufacturer claims that this gadget is absolutely safe, since it does not leave any chemicals as a result of its operation. A full charge of the device takes 3 hours, after which 70 cleanings can be carried out. This device is more effective than antibacterial wipes, as it allows you to clean connectors, buttons and other hard-to-reach places.

The bag fits a variety of smartphones from Xiaomi, Huawei, Honor, Samsung, iPhone, Oppo and other manufacturers.
