Hunting knot. Travel Tips

Comments on the article
The invention by retired English doctor Edward Hunter in 1979 of a new node called hunting knot, caused a kind of sensation in maritime circles in many countries. British patent experts, issuing Hunter a patent for his invention, recognized that the unit was indeed new. Moreover, it holds perfectly on all lines, including the thinnest synthetic lines.
Rice. 43. Hunting knot
Essentially, a hunting knot is a successful interweaving of two simple knots tied at the ends of the cables. Dr. Hunter did not pursue the goal of inventing a new knot, but tied it completely by accident. Since the surname Hunter means “hunter” in English, here this knot is called a hunting knot.

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 ... >>
Random news from the Archive Panasonic curved touch panels for cars
13.08.2015
Panasonic announced the start of mass production of new curved capacitive touch panels designed for installation in car multimedia systems.
With flexibility, the company's new solutions could enable automakers to create interior options that were previously unavailable. Also among the advantages of the new panels is a very high sensitivity, allowing you to use the displays even with gloves. The panels are capable of recognizing multiple touches at the same time, which will allow automotive system developers to integrate gesture support into their software.
Another feature of Panasonic's new development is the ability to create holes in the touch panel, which allows designing more complex multimedia systems based on it.
The transparency of the panels reaches 90%. The panels are moisture resistant and able to withstand temperatures from -40°C to 80°C. Based on the company's panels, it will be possible to create displays with a diagonal of 5 to 12 inches.
