Tourist tips

In the fleets of different countries, sailors kept their personal belongings in different ways - in bags, lockers and "suitcases". For example, according to the tradition of the Royal Navy of Great Britain, sailors' clothes were stored exclusively in canvas bags 3 feet long with a round bottom diameter of 1 foot.

Sailors of the British merchant fleet were allowed to have wooden lockers in the cockpit measuring approximately 2,5 x 1,5 x 1,5 feet. In the Russian Imperial Navy, large and small "suitcases" made of gray canvas No. 6 were used to store personal belongings of sailors. The large one was 2 feet 9 inches long, 1 foot 2 inches wide and 1 foot high. The small one was 1 foot 2 inches long, 1 foot wide and 9 inches high. Both had four to seven eyelets and a canvas flap. Canvas bags of English military sailors had 12 eyelets, which were tightened with a piece of line.

To carry the bags, the sailors attached a piece of string to them, with which they tied them. bag 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 ... >>

Safe magnetic socket 03.08.2005

German engineer Klaus-Dieter Fritsch invented the electrical outlet with a plug. Yes, not simple, but safe. You can pick a nail in it, a child can stick a finger in it - nothing bad will happen. Contact occurs only when the plug of the electrical appliance is inserted into the socket.

The secret is in the magnets that are hidden in the socket and in the plug. The plug serves as a magnetic key to the socket. When the poles of the magnets match, voltage is applied to the socket contacts. If in a room, for example, in a laboratory or workshop, there are two electrical networks with different voltages, then by changing the location of the magnets in the plugs, you can make the outlet supply the voltage assigned to each device.

A small batch of magnetic plug-socket sets was ordered by Fritsch in Hungary and was successfully sold out. But the inventor does not have the funds to compete with the major manufacturers of wiring devices, and they do not want to rebuild the established production. True, automakers became interested in Fritsch's system.

Until now, the only "socket" for connecting electrical appliances in the car remains the cigarette lighter socket. The cabin and trunk of the new Volkswagen model will have several magnetic sockets for connecting a coffee maker, a portable TV, a fan, portable lamps and other electrical appliances.
