Boatswain knot. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

boatswain knot - this ancient marine knot is sometimes called the "Spanish pavilion". He is just like double gazebo, serves to lift a person up or to lower him from a height.

Rice. 78. Bosun's knot (Spanish gazebo), the working loop is marked with a cross

Using the boatswain's knot, a foot is inserted into each of its two loops and a hand is held on the cable. With this knot, you can raise (or lower from a height) an unconscious person. So that he does not fall out of two loops, one or two half-bayonets are additionally tied on his chest with the running end of the cable.

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 ... >>

Feed the cows rapeseed 03.07.2004

Researchers at the University of Northern Ireland in Belfast fed 64 dairy cows rapeseed seeds, so that each animal received up to 600 grams of rapeseed oil per day.

As a result, milk has become healthier: the proportion of saturated fatty acids, from which cholesterol is produced, has decreased, and the content of unsaturated fatty acids, useful for the heart and blood vessels, has increased. Thus, the amount of palmitic acid fell by 26 percent, while the content of oleic acid increased by 35 percent.

The cows didn't mind the new feed. The butter obtained from the milk of these cows has a lower melting point, it is softer than usual and spreads well on bread, even when it has just been taken out of the refrigerator.
