In which country do people bake bread by burying it in the ground?

Iceland is famous for its geysers and geothermal springs. Some residents even bake so-called volcanic bread right in the ground next to the exit to the surface of boiling water.

The process of preparing one loaf takes about a day.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How does the effectiveness of placebo tablets depend on their quantity, color and cost?

The effectiveness of a placebo depends on many characteristics of the dummy pills themselves. For example, taking two pills instead of one has a greater effect on the patient. Pills of different colors are suitable for different diseases: depression is best treated with yellow placebos, and stomach ulcers with white ones. The cost of pills is also essential - in many cases, more expensive ones give a greater effect than cheaper ones that are identical to them.

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 ... >>

House delivered by helicopter 12.04.2000

The German firm "Evrohouse" has begun production of family cottages, which are delivered to the place by helicopter. An ordinary stone house of this size weighs over a hundred tons, but the use of modern materials borrowed from the aircraft industry has reduced the weight of the cottage to 25 tons.

At the installation site, a concrete foundation must be prepared with communications embedded in it - pipes and cables. The helicopter lowers its load onto the foundation, and after a few hours the house is ready to be lived in. When moving to another city, your home can be transferred by air to a new place in the same way.

"Air Houses" are planning to produce on the conveyor.
