What religious building is the former tobacco factory in Dresden disguised as?

At the beginning of the 20th century, the entrepreneur Hugo Zitz built the Jenice tobacco factory in Dresden, choosing an Oriental-style mosque-like design, the chimneys of which were cleverly disguised as minarets. This decision was dictated, on the one hand, by the desire for additional advertising of the factory's products, and, on the other hand, by fears that the city authorities would not allow the construction of a conventional industrial facility near the historical center. Nowadays, Jenice has been converted into office space.

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 ... >>

Supercar Draco GTE 21.08.2019

The new Tesla Roadster will not be the only electric supercar in the near future, it will be accompanied by the Drako GTE, created by Drako Motors. This is an electric sedan with four engines with a total power of 1200 hp. and peak torque of 8800 Nm. The manufacturer has not yet advertised the dynamic characteristics of the car, only the maximum speed is known, which is 332 km / h.

The Drako GTE is built on a Fisker Karma chassis, equipped with Brembo brakes, Ohlins suspension and a choice of wheels (20-inch with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires or 21-inch with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s racing tires). The electric car can accommodate up to four people, while there is still room for luggage.

The battery capacity of the Drako GTE is 90 kWh, and this is perhaps the only weak point of the electric car. A set of four motors with this power will put serious strain on the battery, so long distances are not to be expected. At least fast charging from a 150 kW station is provided.

Production of the Drako GTE will start soon, with first deliveries expected in 2020. The company plans to release only 25 copies, each of which will cost $1,25 million.
