Reverse bayonet. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

When mooring ships to marinas and berths, a situation often arises when it is very difficult to enclose the running end of the cable around a bollard or log. Sometimes you have to literally crawl under the pier in order to thread the end of the log or eye from the bow of the boat or boat.

Applying reverse bayonet, you can encircle the cable around the desired object once and at the same time tie a knot with two hoses around the object to which you are attaching the moorings. To do this, the running end of the cable must be doubled over a length of 2-3 meters and, looping forward, passing it around the object, pull the loop towards you. Now the running end of the cable must be threaded into this loop, and for the root end, take out the slack and finish the knot with two half bayonets.

The reverse bayonet is convenient for use in cases where access to the object to which they want to attach the cable is difficult or inconvenient for tying the knot, for example, to the tow hook for some car brands.

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 ... >>

New record for longest non-stop flight 18.11.2019

In civil aviation, a new record for the duration of a non-stop flight by a commercial airliner has appeared - it, like the previous achievement, was set by Qantas.

The crew of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner spent 19 hours and 19 minutes in the sky, covering about 17 kilometers during this time on the way from British London to Australian Sydney. Flight QF 800 was flying from Heathrow Airport to the international airport of Australia's largest and oldest city.

The flight took place over the territories of Great Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, China, the Philippines, Indonesia and Australia and could have been a little longer, since at the time of landing the aircraft had a fuel reserve of 6300 kg for a flight for another 1 hours 45 minutes. In total, 100 kg of fuel were consumed during the flight.

On board, in addition to the crew members, there were several dozen passengers and scientists from Australia, who observed the condition of people during a long flight. At the same time, dinner was served to passengers, and the flight itself simulated a flight at night, since the flight was operated according to Sydney time. Qantas stressed that this is the second non-stop flight from London to Sydney in the history of civil aviation, after a test flight in 1989 on a Boeing 747-400.

The information collected during this and previous flights will allow scientists and the airline to develop a methodology that is optimal for human health for such long non-stop flights. Qantas is about to conduct another similar flight.
