Orientation on the seas and oceans. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

Как navigate the seas and oceans?

The appearance of a diver - a cormorant and a common aurelia jellyfish near unfamiliar shores warn of the proximity of reefs.

In the Bering Sea, orientation to large bird colonies.

The common tern is no more than 20 miles away from the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean (1 nautical mile = 1852 m), the brown fulmar 30 miles, the white tern -100 miles.

When these birds quickly, without deviating anywhere, fly high above the sea to the shore before the evening hours, a storm should be expected.

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, ... >>

High-voltage ultra-bright LED drivers from IR 18.06.2007

Possible applications for these drivers are architectural and decorative lighting, color music, outdoor and indoor signaling. The 200V and 600V rated IRS254x series includes a hysteresis step-down regulator with a delay to control the average current to within 5% accuracy based on an accurate estimate of the difference between the current voltage and the maximum allowable voltage.

An external high-level bootstrap circuit controls the operation of the key flyback stage at frequencies up to 500 kHz. The low level driver is used when the synchronous rectifier is running. The IRS254x series ICs compensate for variations in LED parameters to implement control devices with improved accuracy and high internal stability.

The new ICs provide a micro-power start mode with less than 500 uA consumption and a 140 nsec switching pause. Other features of the new drivers are restart mode, latchless shutdown, PWM dimming capabilities. The ICs are available in compact 8-pin lead-free DIP and SOIC packages. Delivery of devices on a tape is possible.
