What do the copper pipes that you need to pass after the fire and water symbolize?

In the expression "go through fire, water and copper pipes" fire and water symbolize physical trials, to overcome which a person needs to show strength and courage. And copper pipes are an allegory of testing by glory, fanfares that a person gets after passing through fire and water.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why can't people breathe and swallow at the same time?

The human voice apparatus gives him the ability to speak, which is different from all other animals. At the same time, its complex structure does not allow humans, unlike animals, to breathe and swallow at the same time. Although newborn babies can do this, they don't do it until around 9 months of age, when the larynx begins to descend.

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. ... >>

Construction of the road from solar panels is being completed 26.12.2017

In the near future, work will be completed in China to create a fairly long section of the road covered with solar panels. The project is being implemented in Jinan, a city of sub-provincial significance, which is located in the northwestern part of Shandong province on the Yellow River. The length of the road with solar panels is about 2 km.

The coating consists of several layers. At the top is the so-called "transparent concrete": this material transmits light, and in terms of structural properties it is close to ordinary asphalt.

Under the "transparent concrete" are the actual panels with solar cells, which generate electricity. Finally, at the bottom is an insulating substrate.

At present, the installation of all elements has been completed, and specialists are carrying out work on connecting to the electrical network. It is assumed that in the future such highways will be able not only to provide electricity to road infrastructure facilities, but also to wirelessly recharge passing electric vehicles (provided that the necessary components of the energy transmission system are installed). The coating is strong enough to support the weight of trucks.

The world's first solar-powered highway opened in France about a year ago. The experimental section of the road has a length of 1 km, and the total area of solar panels is 2800 m2. An estimated 280 MWh of energy can be generated annually from solar panels. It can be used, say, to illuminate city streets at night.
