Multiple eight. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

Imagine that you need to tie a large cardboard box, bale or old suitcase with a rope. Having done this, you found that one and a half meters of rope remained unused. By tying the running end of the rope around the part for which you have to carry this load, with a multiple eight you will not only shorten the rope, but also make a convenient handle for this burden.

Node "multiple eight" can be used in all cases where it becomes necessary to temporarily shorten the cable or exclude an unreliable part of its length from work, if there is a fear that it will break. The multiple figure eight is a good handle for both a dog leash and a children's sled rope.

Rice. 7. Multiple eight

To make the knot even and tight, as you tie it, pull each hose, moving it to the previous one. If you later need to use the entire length of the rope, the multiple eight is easy to untie. No matter how tightly it is tightened, this knot will not spoil the rope.

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Microbes against caries 01.09.2010

Dental caries remains the most common disease of mankind. It occurs when harmful bacteria settle on the surface of the tooth enamel, producing acid from sugar, which destroys teeth.

German researchers have found a strain of Lactobacillus paracasei bacteria that can help toothache sufferers. These beneficial bacteria cling to the harmful ones and peel them off the enamel. After that, with a simple rinse, harmful bacteria are washed out of the oral cavity.

A nutritional supplement based on the new strain is already being produced, and experiments have shown that tooth decay under its action is reduced by a quarter. It is also planned to release toothpaste and chewing gum with beneficial bacteria.
