Compass map orientation. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

Before trying to navigate the terrain, you should orient the map.

The easiest way to do this is compass. To do this, determine the direction to the true, geographical north, and then attach the compass to the map so that the direction of the north on the map coincides with the direction of the north on the compass. In other words, place the long side of the compass at the east or west edge of the map. Of course, for this you have to rotate the map. If more convenient, first place the compass on the map, and then turn them together so that the north end of the arrow points to N.

The map is now accurately oriented relative to the surrounding area.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Tiny Intel Curie Modules 19.03.2015

To create a finished device, it is enough to connect the battery, the necessary sensors and download the necessary microcode. The output will be a wearable or embedded device for solving simple tasks of monitoring the specified parameters. It can be a watch, a bracelet, a brooch or a piece of furniture.

In an interview with PC World, Intel New Devices team leader Mike Bell said that Curie button modules will ship in the second half of this year. The Intel Curie modules are 18mm diameter board. The board contains an Intel Quark SE microcontroller, 80 KB SRAM, 384 KB flash memory, a hub with an integrated DSP for connecting sensors, a 6-axis gyroscope and accelerometer, a Bluetooth LE module, and a power and charge controller.

The company plans two delivery options. For fast provisioning of commercial products, Intel will ship the Curie module on board as shown in the picture. To reduce the cost of the solution and to develop unique solutions, the company will supply only the Quark SE microcontroller with the minimum required piping.
