What is the difference from a regular ballpoint pen for astronauts?

The first ballpoint pen was produced in the late thirties of the last century. It very quickly became the most common, cheapest and most convenient pen for everyone, and especially for schoolchildren and students. The most difficult thing was to come up with a composition suitable for writing with a ballpoint pen, because ordinary ink was not suitable for this - a special paste was needed, the composition of which was found by the Hungarian chemist Josef Biro.

Our country failed to acquire a patent for the production of ballpoint pens, so scientists had to look for the composition of the paste again. The production of tiny balls has long been established, but everyone could not make pasta. Flies helped, or rather, a means of dealing with them. In those days, a mixture of castor oil and rosin was used to fight flies in everyday life. And then one engineer of the Moscow factory of art paints suggested making a paste out of it. And what do you think? The pens stopped leaking and began to write!

The first Soviet ballpoint pen was made at the Soyuz plant in Leningrad in 1949, and mass production began in the 1960s. In 1969, special ballpoint pens were developed for astronauts. Having tested them in weightlessness, the cosmonauts of the Soyuz-4 and Soyuz-5 crews were very pleased with them. After all, ordinary ballpoint pens refuse to write, even if you attach a sheet to the wall, not to mention the ceiling. Under normal terrestrial conditions, the paste is fed to the writing ball under the action of gravity. In space, weightlessness. What did our designers come up with? A very simple and very reliable device is a cylindrical spring, with the help of which the paste is fed to the ball. She performed the role of earth's gravity in space. And so that the handle did not fly around the cabin, a special nylon thread was attached to it, twisted into a spring. At the end of the spring is a hook. They can attach the handle to the pile upholstery of the ship wherever you want.

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. ... >>

Wood burning stove with electronics 18.08.2006

The Dutch company Philips is known for its state-of-the-art electronics. However, her latest novelty, intended for developing countries, is an iron wood-burning stove like a potbelly stove.

Of course, this novelty is also equipped with electronics. A thermoelectric generator is built into the stove, from which a fan rotates, which increases traction. The body is covered with thermal insulation. As a result, compared to a traditional rural hearth, saving firewood is up to 80%, the emission of soot particles with smoke is reduced by 90%, and environmentally hazardous organic products of incomplete combustion are reduced by 99%.

In 2005, the Philips stove was successfully tested in India.
