Orientation in the desert. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

The most reliable way orientation in the desert - the sun and the stars. Fortunately, cloudy days in the deserts are very rare, that's why they are deserts.

In sandy deserts Orientation is possible along the dunes, which are located across the prevailing winds.

If orientation was lost during a sandstorm at night, then it is necessary to stop moving and equip a temporary parking lot. In order to prevent sand from entering the lungs, you need to cover your head with outer clothing, breathe through your nose, calmly, exhaling completely. If all this does not protect against the penetration of sand, then you need to breathe through a handkerchief, a gauze bandage.

When entering the zone of quicksand, the traveler needs to behave in a certain way. Some types of sand are dense enough to run on. If the sand is "weak" and immersion in it occurs quickly, then you need to fall back. The dive will stop, and the body will "float" on the surface, while trying to get rid of excess weight. You should not raise your hands up, they should lie quietly on the surface. If there is no outside help, then you need to roll over on your stomach and slowly, calmly crawl onto solid ground or roll on the sand. The sand should flow smoothly around the body.

When crossing areas of quicksand, and especially quicksand, it is necessary to stock up on a long pole or board.

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, ... >>

Digital Polaroid 22.11.2009

With the advent of digital cameras, instant development devices fell out of fashion.

The well-known American company Polaroid stopped producing not only cameras themselves, but also cassettes with paper for them. But, in order not to disappear from the market, the company starts producing a digital camera with a built-in printer. The device is slightly larger than the usual "soap box" immediately after shooting prints a photo the size of a business card.

The necessary colors, as was the case with traditional Polaroid photographic materials, are stored in the paper itself and are developed under the influence of heat. The battery charge is enough for two dozen cards.
