How is glass blown?

Glass blowing is one of the oldest skills. But as modern mechanisms have been developed, they are favored, and as the need for glass has increased, hand-blown glass is becoming rare. When glass is in a molten state, it can be processed in a variety of ways. It can be blown, pressed, painted or rolled.

For centuries the main method of glass processing was blowing. The glassblower collected a ball of molten glass at the end of a straw and blew it in the same way that we blow soap bubbles. Using his skills, he, blowing, gave the glass a shape and brought it to the desired thickness. He constantly heated the glass to keep it working. Then the master finished processing with special tools. So many types of glass objects were created. Glass can also be molded and thus given its shape.

Surprisingly enough, window glass used to be made by blowing a long cylinder, which was then cut and rolled to make sheets of glass. Of course, the size of these sheets was limited by the strength of the light glass blower.

Today, a similar glass making process called "handmade" is still used in the production of special scientific apparatus or very expensive, magnificent pieces of glass. But the need for glassware such as bottles became so great that every effort was made to create a glass blowing machine, which was finally invented in 1903. The machine uses vacuum to blow enough glass for one bottle. First, the neck of the bottle is formed. Then compressed air is supplied and the entire bottle is blown out. After that, the bottle is automatically fired, hardened, then it is slowly cooled, which makes it durable.

Such a machine is capable of producing more bottles in an hour than 6 people by hand in a day! Later, another machine was created to automatically blow out light bulbs, which allowed the wider use of electric light. Most of all bottles, jars, jugs, glasses and other glass vessels are produced by machine.

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 ... >>

Asus Essence STX II and Asus Essence STX II 7.1 sound cards 23.03.2014

Asus has introduced "hi-fi level" sound cards, designated Essence STX II and Essence STX II 7.1. These products, according to the manufacturer, are characterized by a signal-to-noise ratio of 124 dB (at the line output) and are equipped with headphone amplifiers with an impedance of up to 600 ohms (at the headphone output, the signal-to-noise ratio is 120 dB).

The frequency response is 10 Hz - 90 kHz, THD + N - 0,0003% (-110 dB).

The manufacturer notes the presence of a separate gain control for headphones, the use of high-quality operational amplifiers (op-amps) Muses 8920 and Muses 8820 with the possibility of replacing them (the kit includes three additional op-amps - two Texas Instruments LME49720 and one Muses 8820, as well as a tool for extracting chips from sockets) .

The Essence STX II 7.1 stands out with its ability to output multi-channel audio (7.1) in analog form via a daughter card. The signal-to-noise ratio at these outputs is estimated by the manufacturer at 120 dB. There are nine op-amps on the daughter board (three LM4562s and six JRC 2114Ds), all of which are replaceable.
