Parachute tape. Tips for a modeler

Modeling

X. Ignoto (Spain) became the 1979 European champion in rocket models in the S-6-A category. In three rounds, his model showed the maximum result, and in the fourth, additional, 3 minutes.

The head fairing is machined from balsa.

The body is made of writing paper glued in a spiral on a mandrel Ø 13 mm. Stabilizers - from a balsa plate 1 mm thick.

A hook-latch made of steel wire Ø 0,5 mm is glued with epoxy resin in the tail part of the body. A thread is attached to the hook to connect the head fairing and the brake band. The free end of the latch is bent. This bend keeps the engine at the bottom from accidental firing when the expelling charge is triggered.

The guide tube 20 mm long is glued from paper. Brake tape (streamer) - made of thin thick paper measuring 105x1050 mm.

The whole model is covered with nitro varnish and painted with red nitro paint. Its mass without an engine is 7,5 g.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

3D glasses for TV without remote control 17.02.2014

Scientists have developed a prototype 3D glasses that can "adjust" to the image on different screens, and which can be useful for watching three-dimensional TV shows without using a remote control.

Russian physicists have developed a prototype of 3D glasses that can "adjust" to the image on different screens, and which can be useful for watching three-dimensional TV programs without using a TV remote control, the scientific information agency FIAN-Inform reports.

To obtain a three-dimensional image, stereoscopic glasses based on the so-called nematic liquid crystals (NLC) are currently widely used. But such glasses, due to the properties of the NLC, are inconvenient for the perception of a continuous television picture, moreover, an undesirable overlay of the "remainder" of the image, "intended" for one eye, on the image in the other eye is possible.

This problem can be eliminated by using liquid crystals of another type, smectics (SLC), as the basis for 3D glasses. This idea was proposed by a team of scientists from the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FIAN), the Prokhorov Institute of General Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Research Institute for System Research (NIISI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The research results showed that due to the use of smectics in the liquid crystal cells that make up the LCD display, a clear color image can be obtained.

"This allows you to dream of creating a TV for the whole family. Frames of various TV programs can be mixed up on its screen, from which the father's glasses, for example, will "choose" the broadcast of a football match, the mother's glasses - a series, and the child - a cartoon. That is, each member of the family with their glasses and wireless headphones will see completely different programs on the same screen," the researchers explain.
