When were the records of reports about the Second World War dictated by Levitan made?

The reports and messages of Levitan during the Great Patriotic War were not recorded. Only in the 1950s was a special recording of them organized for history.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

When were lamps invented?

Until the time when man invented a way to get fire, he received heat and light from the sun. And since he could not manage his work, the person was very dependent on him in the fight against cold and darkness.

Perhaps, after a person learned to make a fire, he noticed that some materials burn better than others. And he probably noticed that when the fat falls into the fire, it gives a bright light. Over time, people began to specifically select materials that gave more light when burned. Chips of certain types of wood were inserted into holes in the wall, and they burned slowly. Pine branches were used as a torch. Animal fat was placed in hollows in the stones and a moss wick was placed there. This is how oil lamps were born. When this happened, we do not know, since history is silent about this.

In New England, lard was used in lamps until 1820. Oil was also isolated from whale oil, which was used in lamps. In fact, any oil that could be easily obtained was suitable for lighting. And in the Mediterranean region grew a lot of olive trees. Olive oil was used for this purpose. The Japanese and Chinese extracted oil for their lamps from various nuts. Today, we would certainly use peanut butter if people did not find combustible minerals underground.

Oil was discovered in 1859. If you heat it in a closed vessel, you can get a light colorless liquid, which is called kerosene. It was then that they began to often use it in lamps. True, at first it was called "coal oil", since oil was often associated with coal.

You probably have a kerosene lamp at home. Many people keep it at home in case the power goes out.

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 ... >>

Spray instead of solar panels 22.12.2014

University of Toronto engineers have invented a new way to "spray" solar panels onto flexible surfaces. As a material, they used colloidal quantum dots (CQD) - semiconductor nanocrystals that are sensitive to light.

The technology is called SprayLD, which is a play on the atom-thick acronym (ALD). The new technology allows you to "spray" solar panels on virtually any surface.

Light-sensitive elements on a flexible substrate can cover a variety of products: from laptops to aircraft. For example, a car roof covered with this material can provide enough energy to power three 100-watt light bulbs or 24 compact fluorescent lamps.

It is reported that the commercialization of the development could lead to a collapse in prices for solar panels. The development could potentially be used for almost any industry, but so far it is not effective enough.
