Tourist tips

Node tightening noose used when temporarily securing a cable to objects floating in the water or when throwing and securing a cable to an object on the shore. This node has an advantage even over such a good node asnoose with half bayonets, in that the running end of the cable cannot slip out of the loop, and therefore a tightening noose is considered more reliable.

On sailing ships, this knot was used to fasten the main ends of topsail sheets, topsail sheets and other gear in cases where it was necessary to have these ends ready for release.

To tie this knot, the cable is laid in the form of two loops of equal size. Both loops are surrounded several times with the running end of the cable, after which this end is passed into the loop facing the root part of the cable and, pulling out the outer loop, is clamped in it. A tightening noose can always be easily untied by pulling the main part of the cable.

According to the knitting pattern, it is convenient to store the cable in the form of a compact coil. By making this knot without a loop on the running end of the throwing end, you get excellent ease. If you find it not heavy enough, dip it in water before use.

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 ... >>

Mixed reality for cars 23.11.2020

Volvo announced the use of gaming technology in the development of vehicles.

The Swedish automaker's engineers have begun using mixed reality technologies to develop new models and test technologies in the areas of safe driving and autopilot. This is helped by a new simulator, which includes a movable driver's seat, a steering wheel with tactile feedback and virtual reality glasses.

The simulator allows you to simulate driving a car on various roads right within the walls of the laboratory. To do this, we used the Unity real-time 3D modeling platform, realistic high-definition XNUMXD graphics, augmented reality glasses and a Teslasuit full body suit that provides tactile feedback from the virtual world and tracking body reactions, as well as the experience of Finnish experts in the field of virtual reality. and mixed reality Varjo.

As the authors of the project note, testing active safety systems and unmanned driving technologies on a simulator makes it possible to achieve absolute safety of all tests while simultaneously realizing all work in various traffic scenarios on a real test track with a real car. Mixed reality also allows you to speed up research work without wasting time building prototypes and recreating the necessary conditions for tests.
