UIAA node. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

Node UIAA used in situations where it is necessary to pickle the rope in two directions. The knot is used for dynamic belay, better on soft ropes. Sometimes it is used as a braking device when descending a vertical railing, but in this case it shamelessly spoils the rope sheath, especially on domestic hard ropes.

A single rope is quilted into a carabiner (Fig. 25). It is circled around the carbine 180 degrees and carried over the root end, covering it (Fig. 26). Once again it is quilted through a carabiner (Fig. 27). According to this drawing, the rope will protrude from the bottom up.

When you change the direction of the rope, the knot will turn over on the carabiner, retaining the pattern, and will work in the other direction.

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 ... >>

Steel Velcro 06.05.2010

Everyone is familiar with the usual Velcro, and in a scientific way - fabric tapes with a loop-hook system, used as convenient fasteners on clothes, shoes and various equipment. Numerous loops are made on one fabric tape, equally numerous curved hooks protrude from the other, with light pressure they create a temporary, but rather tight connection.

At the Technical University of Munich (Germany), a steel fastener was made according to the Velcro model. Hooks are stamped on one steel tape, on the other - something like gaping beaks, where the hooks fit tightly.

The resulting connection holds well at temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius, that is, it can be used, for example, for attaching a car exhaust pipe or in rocket technology. Tensile strength - 3,5 kilograms per square centimeter.
