Clove hitch. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

Its name clove hitch received due to the fact that on ships they have long been attached to the shrouds of the shrouds - transverse segments of a resinous cable that serve as steps for climbing the masts.

The vyblenochny knot consists of two half-bayonets tied in the same direction. This is a very secure pull knot that holds securely as long as the pull is applied to both ends of the rope. It is extremely useful for attaching cables to smooth surfaces such as a mast, yardarm, boom, or just a log. In the days of the sailing fleet, in addition to its main purpose, the bleached knot was used to knit the root ends of the marsa-drayreps on the topmast.

There are two different ways to tie a tie knot. The first method is used in cases where one of the ends of the object around which the knot is knitted is open and accessible (Fig. 48, a), the second, when the cable has to be carried directly around the object (Fig. 48, b).

Rice. 48. Bleeding knot: a - the first knitting method; b - the second way of knitting

The range of application of this node in everyday life is very wide. With it, you can attach a rope to a smooth post or crossbar, tie a bag, pull a rope between two posts, tie a bowstring to a bow, moor a boat behind a pile or a stake dug on the shore, attach twine to a thick cable.

The vyblenochny knot is very convenient for giving of the tool on height (for example, the hammer working on a mast). When weaving many types of fishing nets, the faded knots form the first row of knitting.

However, when using a bleached knot, you should always remember that it is reliable only with constant traction on a cable or rope.

A variation of the bleached knot is the buoy knot, which serves to fasten the buoy to the trend of the Admiralty anchor. In the latter case, the running end of the cable must have a knob and be attached to the anchor spindle with a bout or benzelle.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

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 ... >>

asymmetric icebreaker 13.08.2013

For many years, shipbuilders have been working on improving the design of icebreakers. The profit of the carrier company directly depends on the quality of the icebreaker’s work: if the icebreaker manages to break through the ice, then ships with various cargoes can pass unhindered along the northern routes even in the winter months. Of course, countries facing the sea, including Russia (it supplies some parts for the new icebreaker), are striving to find convenient routes for the quick delivery of goods to Europe by sea.

It is assumed that the Baltika icebreaker, which is being built by the Finnish shipbuilding company Arctech Helsinki Shipyard (Finland), will solve some of the problems.

The new ship will have a bow on one side, which will allow you to move forward at an angle. The vessel will be equipped with three engines (9 MW total power / 7,5 MW propulsion power). They will be installed at the very bottom and will be able to rotate 360 degrees. In addition, the ship will be equipped with a unique system of pumps to move liquid fuel and water from the holds to tanks inside the hull to change its center of gravity. Thus, the ship will be able to go straight, at an angle, or even in the opposite direction. In their message, representatives of Arctech said that the new icebreaker will not only be able to cut through the ice in the Gulf of Finland, but also help in oil spill areas and in rescue operations.

The dimensions of the ship will be 76 meters long and 20 meters wide. Usually a vessel of this size can clear a path only slightly wider than itself. However, the Baltika icebreaker will be able to clear a 50 m wide path in 60 cm thick ice. This is enough for a tanker to follow.

According to shipbuilders, the Baltika icebreaker should be ready next spring.
